Batches.

Below is a listing of all batches that are initially setup during the installation of Brilliant-CRS. Depending on you wishes, you may want to add or remove reports from a batch, or create new batches. Please refer to Define batches.pdf for help on creating batches and batch options.

Note: a report will not be printed of there is nothing to be printed. Example: the error report will not print if no reservation has been rejected by the CRS.

Shift End Reports
This batch should be printed after each shift.
•	CRS Error Log (Summary)
Prints all locally created or changed reservations that were rejected by the CRS. This includes an error message indicating why the reservation was rejected. Error reservation throws your local inventory out of balance with the CRS inventory. You can still continue with the night audit, but you must solve the problem asap to avoid over bookings being made by the CRS call centre agents. Error reservations will be printed on the report until solved. You may want to contact Network Control Technical Support to find the cause of rejection. See also attached file (Error messages from Cendant CRS (HOST).pdf) for possible errors and their solution. NEVER remove this report from this batch !!!
•	Arrivals today, to arrive (name)
This report will only be printed if arrivals are not yet checked in. You may want to verify if the guest arrived but was not checked in in Brilliant (then check in) or did not arrive yet (edit reservation and check for possible late arrival time, this can be field A-time or - if received from CRS - a note in the reservation). If guests do not check in before you do the night audit, Brilliant gives the option to change the status to NS (No show) or to stop the audit to check in.
•	Departures today, to depart
This report will only be printed if departures did not check out. You may want to verify if the guest did checked out but was not checked out in Brilliant (then check out) or did not check out yet (edit reservation and check for possible late departure time, this can be field D-time or - if received from CRS - A special request LATE or a note in the reservation).
