The rate revenue breakdown is used to post the internal revenue breakdown.
A revenue breakdown or splitting is sometimes also referred to as a package.
The rates that are defined in the rate code definition window are used to determine the amount that has to be posted on a guests bill. These amounts will however not be calculated as revenue because the total rate may include package items, such as breakfast or, for conference reservations, audio visual equipment, coffee etc.
Once you have chosen the split button from the rate revenue breakdown list, the breakdown article list appears with all splittings/extras that have already been specified. Choose New to add a new splitting/extra or select a code from the list and choose Edit to change the details. If you choose delete the selected splittings/extras will be removed and not be posted in the future anymore. Changing or deleting splittings/extras details will not have any influence on postings that were already made.

Split |
For each rate revenue breakdown, a split must be specified. The splitting is used to post the internal revenue breakdown and extra revenue when required. A splitting or revenue breakdown is sometimes also referred to as a package. The rates that are defined in the rate management window are used to determine the amount that has to be posted on a guests folio (excluding extras). If these ratecodes have a revenue breakdown attached because the total rate may include package items, such as breakfast or, for conference reservations, audio visual equipment, coffee etc then a revenue breakdown split should be attached to specify where the revenue gets distributed. Once you have chosen the split button from the revenue breakdown list, the breakdown article list appears with all splittings that already have been specified. Choose New to add a new splitting or select a code from the list and choose Edit to change the details. If you choose delete the selected splitting will be removed and not be posted in the future anymore. Changing or deleting splitting details will not have any influence on postings that were already made. See below for a list of options within the split button. |
