Route Charges to a Reservation, House Account or Group Master .ng -v2

Revision Date:

Charge Routing Setup controls where charges post for a reservation. Instead of every charge landing on the guest's default folio, you can:

  • Send specific charge categories to another folio within the same reservation (for example, room and tax on Folio 1, incidentals on Folio 2).

  • Send charges outside the reservation, typically to another guest, a master or company account, or another booking.

  • Do the same at the individual charge type level for finer control.

Common use cases:

  • Company pays for room and tax, and the guest pays for incidentals

  • Split billing between two guests sharing a room

  • Group or master account billing

  • Keeping personal expenses (phone, beverage, club lounge) off the main folio

Select In House tile on the Dashboard.

You can also search for in-house reservations using the options in the left-side menu.

  • The routing indicator appears only on the sending folio. Destination folios will not display this icon.

  • Routing will still be successful even if a specific Charge Type is sent to a destination folio that lacks the corresponding parent Charge Category.
    Example:  If "Parking" (which falls under the "MISC" category) is routed to a folio without a "MISC" category, the charge will route successfully, and the indicator will still display correctly on the sending folio.
