How to

Book and settle a studio-room rental

A room is reserved without a date conflict, paid through the Shop sales ledger, and released or completed correctly.

  1. 1

    As a Shop admin, add each room and its active day or month rate plans, default deposit, access notes, and non-stock room-rental service item.

    Shop · rentals → studio rooms → setup rooms

    Payment is unavailable when the rate has no service item, or when that catalog item still tracks inventory.

  2. 2

    Choose Reserve a room, select the room and rate, customer, start and end dates, tentative or confirmed status, deposit override if needed, and access notes.

    Shop · rentals → studio rooms → reserve a room

    Tentative, confirmed, and in-use reservations all hold every covered day. Overlapping dates for the same room are rejected.

  3. 3

    Open the reservation, review the server-calculated charge, discount, tax, and deposit state, then take cash or check payment when due.

    Shop · studio rooms → open the reservation → take payment

    Payment creates a source-linked sale. Do not ring up the same room charge separately at the register.

  4. 4

    Move the booking through confirmed and in use to completed, and update the deposit status to match what was actually collected, retained, or returned.

  5. 5

    To cancel and release the dates, first fully refund any completed source-linked sale, then cancel the reservation.

    A reservation cannot be cancelled while its sale remains paid.
