Introducing an incidental (B folio) option for prepaid reservations allows guests to conveniently use their credit or debit card for miscellaneous expenses like room service. This provides guests with transparency and a record of their additional charges. For third-party reservations, often covering only the room and tax, it streamlines the creation of a folio to track extra costs. The card hold is released upon checkout, minus any incurred charges. This parameter will automatically generate separate 'A folio' for 'Room & Tax' and 'B folio' for 'Incidental' charges for all online 'Rate Private' reservations.

Two requirements:

- Make sure that the designated rate private plans are marked as such in the rate mapping table in Management > Interfaces > All Interfaces > Select your Channel Manager > Rate Plan Setup (in the right side toolbox).

- Enable the feature: find the process right here.
