  • In VIEW and DISPLAY, Users have the choice of deciding the order of how Agent Statements are displayed. This can be sorted alphabetically, by Booking ID number, Booking Name, Arrival or Departure dates.
  • Agent statements will take rates directly from the booking as a default. This will apply to the booking total, net total, balance due, and payments received. However, if a booking has had an invoiced raised, then the agent statement for that booking will take from the invoice rather than the booking.
  • Changes in rates will then change. In the booking by default, housekeeping and utilities are not added to the booking. However, in the invoice, this is added. Also in the invoice, the agent commission is already subtracted from the booking total, to which then housekeeping and utilities will be added after that to give a new booking total. Any payments that have been made, or get made after an invoice for a booking has been raised, will then subtract from the new booking total.
