Price Components

Price components can be used to separate total booking values into amounts for items such as Sales Tax and Service charges.

Breaking out prices is done by setting up a Component Profile and associating this with products for a given date range.

At present RoomBoss supports profiles which breakout:

  1. Sales Tax (%)
  2. Sales Tax (%) and a taxable service charge (%)
  3. Sales Tax 10% and Kutchan Bed tax

Components can be broken out:

  • On Invoices and receipts
  • On the Excel custom bookings report
  • On the Kutchan Bed tax page (if appropriate)
  • In trust accounting
