Master

Front Office Profiles “Master” tab

Contents Hide

Use this function to assign revenues from guests, companies, etc., to master accounts. This causes the profiles that you assign become sub-profiles.

Example: A company has a number of different departments and company offices. If you assign one of these companies to a guest, the revenues for the guest are copied to the company profile. However, if you now want to view revenues for the entire corporate group when agreeing rates, you would have to add together the revenues from the individual company profiles.

The master profile assumes this function. Revenue and occupancy details from all sub-profiles are copied to the master profile and can be used for evaluation purposes.

Master profile

If you assign a sub-profile to a profile that you have opened, the open profile automatically becomes the master profile. The This profile is master account check box is selected and the associated sub-profiles are shown in the list below. You cannot assign a master profile to another master profile or assign additional sub-profiles to a sub-profile.

The “Remarks” column shows the revenues that have been copied. You can also create assignments for which only the occupancy information is transferred and for which revenues are not shown in the master profile.

Assigning a sub-profile

Click [New] and use the guest search function to select the the profile that you want to assign as a sub-profile.

You can use the “Relation” box to enter the type of connection between the companies (subsidiary, sister company, partner company, etc.).

If the relationship changes, enter the new details in the box at the bottom of the window and use the [Change] button to display the new information.

To delete the relationship, select the relevant profile and click [Delete]. Any data already transferred to the master profile is retained.

You can only assign a sub-profile to one master profile. Once assigned, it is displayed in the list.
