Maxxton explanation
Please refer Financial Accounts for the general description.
Account types
There are multiple types of miscellaneous account. The purpose of configuring these accounts is to register the payment made in the system, from where it is processed further via journalizing it using the Financial Transaction Report. Simply stated: when a payment is made online using the PSP payment functionality, it is forwarded to the system. The fact that the payment is made, we need to register 'somewhere'. For this purpose, the Miscellaneous accounts are used. The actual financial payment is later received via processing the bank statements (to which the PSP transfers the payments collected). A user can choose from to setup:
- Account for internet payments
This account is used to configure the payment methods used on the Internet website. So the configuration of paymentmethod for an account should be aligned to the paymentmethods provided online for the guest. Refer screenshot below.
- Account for credit card payments
This account is used to configure the creditcard payment methods for performing payments on a reservation manually. This payment method is shown in the Cash payment popup in a reservation, refer screenshot below.
- Account for credit card authorization
This account is similar to the credit card payments, only this account is used for authorization. This type of account allows the user to handle creditcard authorizations and the ability to capture any of the amounts which were authorized. Example scenario: A rental car is hired and an amount is reserved on the credit card as insurance. In case of damage when the car is returned, an amount within this reserved amount is captured.
