Financial Departments

Financial departments can be used to track generated revenue by department. In back office systems this is often referred to as 'revenue centers' or 'cost centers'. You can also do this with PMPRO, allowing you for example to track how much breakfast was included in room rates, or sold separately in the restaurant or bar.

Starting to use financial departments involves not only creating the department codes, it also involves a re-configuration of all products, rate code splittings, banqueting items, leisure activities, the point of sale etc. See Financial Department Configuration for more information.

Financial departments must be enable in Setup, parameters, financial tab
