Living with Bad Environment? The Opera Commissions module, activated by the Commission Handling add-on license (OPP_COM), provides a comprehensive and technologically advanced commission processing service. The Commissions function collects and consolidates details about commissionable guest stays and commissionable transactions from every reservation. When commission payments are processed, guest stay details are combined with travel agent and source profile data to identify the agents and sources that are eligible for commissions and how much commission they have earned. The output of the commission payment process can either be commission checks or electronic funds transfer (EFT) files that are forwarded to whichever clearinghouse the property uses. The commissions payment process also flags commissions that the property wishes to send to AR in order to offset the agent/source account; it handles prepaid commissions to avoid double payment; and it enables placing a hold on the payment of selected commissions for reasons determined by the property. Management reports are available throughout the commissions payment process. After the commission payments have been processed, Opera offers features for tracking outstanding, voided, cleared and unpresented commission checks, and for reprinting checks as necessary. Commission codes are at the heart of the Commissions function. Commission codes determine the conditions under which commissions are to be paid, and how the commission is to be computed (e.g., as a percentage of revenue or a flat amount). These codes are then attached to travel agent and source profiles (sources include meeting planners, corporate travel departments, etc.), or directly to the rate codes that are assigned to reservations. |

Why I Don't Have an English Name Interesting. I'm keen to hear people's views on Westerners with Chinese names. What do you think Nirmalya? Should John Smith have a Chinese name in China; say, Shi Dawei? What does everyone else think? |
