The Pay Out screen now supports foreign currency departments — issue payouts in any currency, exactly like the Payment screen. Business Value
  • Issue payouts in any currency, not just the base currency.
  • Exchange rate and foreign amount fields appear automatically for foreign currency departments.
  • Select the billing window for the payout directly from the Pay Out form.
  • Full audit trail maintained — the payout posting remains a money-out transaction.
Use Cases
  • Front desk cashier issues a USD payout to a guest using the hotel’s foreign currency cash drawer.
  • Cashier selects a EUR credit department for a payout, with the live exchange rate displayed automatically.
  • Night auditor verifies payout receipts in foreign currencies after daily reconciliation.
How It Works
Where: Front Office → Individual reservations → [Open Reservation] → Billing → Pay Out
The Pay Out form has been upgraded to match the Payment form. Fill in the following fields:
  1. Department — Select any active credit department, including foreign currency departments. Debit, tax, loyalty, and city ledger departments are not available.
  2. Amount — Enter the payout amount. Must be greater than zero.
  3. Exchange Rate / Foreign Amount — These fields appear automatically when a foreign currency department is selected.
  4. Billing Window — Select which billing window to apply the payout to. Defaults to the first active window on the account.
  5. Click Save.
Validation Rules
  • Only active credit departments can be selected.
  • Loyalty departments are not allowed.
  • City ledger departments are not allowed.
  • Debit and tax departments are not allowed.
  • Amount must be greater than zero.
The payout receipt displayed after a successful transaction remains unchanged. The accounting entry and all posting details are identical to the existing payout behavior.
