An advance deposit in a hotel is a payment made by a guest in advance of their stay to secure a reservation.
Path: Front Office > Reservations > Search
1. Post Deposit - Select to populate the advance deposit window.
2. Advance Deposit Window - Enter the deposit method of payment, amount, and check reference number.
3. Post - Click Post to post the deposit.
If the deposit is posted before the day of arrival, Visual Matrix will default to the setup selected in your credit card interface (first night or full stay - extra included). If the deposit is posted on the day of arrival, Visual Matrix will always default to the full amount of the stay (extra included).
To generate a receipt for an advance, you can print a proforma invoice, which will display the details of the advance deposit.
