Background

Payments have due dates based upon the settings entered for each property on the "Setup>Main >> Property>Payments" tab. On that tab you set:

• The amount due at time of Booking
• When the balance payment is due
• When any refundable amount is due from the guest and
• When any refundable amount is to be refunded back to the guest

At any time, the system knows:

• What amount is Owed
• How much has been Paid and therefore
• How much is Due

Setting a reminder

This is done on the "Setup>Main >> Reminders/Actions" tab.

When setting a reminder for payments, always choose the "Payment Due" trigger (not a date trigger, such as Arrival Date). This way, if no payment is due then the reminder will not activate (if you choose a date trigger then the reminder will always activate).
