Charge Posting Operations
The ER-5215 check tracking system can be used to post charges and payments to house accounts. This
posting system is ideal for small resorts, camgrounds, motels/hotels or retail stores that accept house
charges.
Charge posting features include:
Manual balance posting, soft check posting, or hard check posting. For house account
posting, the hard check posting method with an optional slip printer is recommended.
(Because house accounts are usually maintained over a period of time, the soft check system
may not have the memory capacity to track the ongoing account activity.)
Payments can be posted before charges are posted and credit balances can be carried forward.
Overpayments can be issued as change or carried forward.
Managers can control access to new account numbers or closing accounts.
Zero balance accounts can remain active.
The total of outstanding accounts prints at the end of the open check report and also on the
Financial report. (The total is not reset when the financial report is cleared.)
The total of house account charges (Service Total) and payments are reported to facilitate
accounts receivable balancing.
In order to implement this system, you must enable the charge posting features (see “System Option
Programming” on page 105”.) You must also assign the necessary function keys for your application.
