If you have an owner who is asking for an advance on rent from a reservation and you don't routinely advance, here is how to do it:
Set the property to “allow advancing” in
properties >manage properties > edit > Misc >check the “allow
advancing checkbox”
Enable 100% advancing in system configuration > Financial >Misc
Set the advance type to "Rent + Management Fees". Disable this after you have completed your owner advance.
4. In Accounting > Manual overrides
>Advance Rent
Select the office
Select the Property
Leave the Rent + Management fees option highlighted
Reservations available to advance appear
In the box to the right enter the amount of rent to advance to the
owner.
Select “Advance Rent”. When you do so the
rent will distribute into the owner account and the management fee will come
out of the owner account and into management
The remaining funds on the reservation for taxes and pet fee will
distribute at the usual time and the reservation will process correctly.
If a reservation is not fully paid up, the amount that is available
to advance to the owner will display.
Disburse to the owner in Accounting >
Accounts Payable >Expense Owner
The down side to this is that if you wish
to refund the guest for any reason, there will not be any funds available and
you’ll probably have trouble getting money back from the owner.
