Void Guest Advance Deposit (Cloud)
Sometimes a deposit is posted by mistake, for the wrong amount, or needs to be canceled before the guest checks in. Voiding an individual advance deposit in Visual Matrix Cloud removes that payment from the guest’s record—helping your team maintain accurate folios and avoid billing errors. This article shows you step-by-step how to void an advance deposit, and explains what to do if the deposit has already been transferred to the folio at check-in.
Path: Front Office > Reservations > Search > open the reservation needing adjustment
Instructions
1. Click Deposit Details to open the window showing posted advance deposits.
2. Choose the specific deposit line that you want to void.
3. Click the Void Deposit button.
4. Provide a reason for voiding the deposit (for your records).
5. Click Post to complete the void.
You can void an advance deposit only before check-in. If, however, a deposit has already been transferred to the folio during check-in, you won’t be able to void it—instead, you’ll need to make an offset adjustment on the folio.
