Right-clicking anywhere within this pane opens the Invoice window.

Routing instructions

If a routing exists, this will be indicated by a blue dot and the letter i “Routing instructions”. Click this row to open payment/routing instructions that provide additional information about the routing (see “More... button, Payment/Routing instructions”).

Packages

Shows any arrangements that are assigned to the reservations. You can also change these here.

CC

The credit card information that has been stored for the reservation.

CC Token

From version 2013.17.000

If an EFT interface is used, the interface returns a credit card token to protel upon authorization of the payment request. This token can be displayed in the Navigator under the subtree "Additional reservation information". The token stands for the successful authorization of a credit card payment  (=result of a positive check).

By clicking the credit card token, it can be copied to another reservation if the required user right (419) is set. When a token is copied, protel automatically creates an entry in the action log; so the copy process can be traced at any time.

From version 2013.17.547

If desired, you can also display the credit card number instead of the Token ID. Being able to copy the token to another reservation remains unaffected by this.

From version 2014.18.122

By request, when clicking the mouse button on a token, a menu with the following functions appears:

Copy: copies the selected token to the clipboard

Reservations: Opens the Reservation list

The direct access to both of the functions via a mutual menu simplifies copying the token to another reservation.

Displaying and copying Credit Card Tokens  requires special system settings. Ask your protel partner or contact the protel Support Team, to learn more!

Memo

For storing additional information about the reservation where there is not enough space available in the Note boxes.

Traces

If there are any traces due for a reservation, this item will be preceded by a red exclamation point. Click to display or edit these traces or store new traces. For more information about creating traces, see “More... button, Traces”.

Attached profiles

If there are any other guest profiles attached to this one, you can display and edit these by clicking “+”. You can also attach new profiles (for more information about creating attached profiles, see “More... button, Attached profiles").

Rentable objects

Rentable objects are items that are available for renting out to guests, such as bikes, skis, tennis courts, and tennis rackets for example. This item is for information purposes only; no revenues are posted in association with this.

You can assign rentable objects to a reservation either for a specific period or for a specific time/duration. Click New to add this object to the reservation.

To access the overview of available objects, click the Overview button. This overview provides a list of the number of objects still available and the associated timescale (day or hour, for example).

Version 2015.19.030 from 13 April 2015

Have rentable objects been entered for a guest, their attention can be drawn to it during check-out, upon request.

Your protel Support will be more than happy to make the necessary settings for you. Feel free to contact us!

  • If required, the “Category types“ menu automatically appears expanded in the tree view of the Navigator.
