You have now successfully updated your cancellation add-on on a cancelled reservation.
Passing reservations from "Cancelled" status to "DEFINITIVE CANCELLED" status
Introduction
Now that you have correctly configured your cancellations & they are properly added to your cancelled reservation, it is important to pass the Cancelled reservations to the status Definitive Cancelled. This is needed for 2 reasons :
- The definitive cancelled status is the status that indicates that a reservation has been financially settled.
- The definitive cancelled status is the status that is compliant for cancelled reservations that follow the NF525 certification.
To manage your cancelled reservations and pass them to the "DEFINITIVE CANCELLED" status, follow this path : Maxxton Software Home > Reservation Manager > Cancellations.
