What is this feature?  
Properties may have agreements with selected Travel Agents who will pay the accounts for guests booked by that Agent on receipt of a tax invoice from the property. This feature allows you to transfer the guest's account to the Travel Agent account for payment which also allows the guest departure to be processed.  
 
RMS handles three distinct commission arrangements with Travel Agents . Please see:Introduction to Travel Agents
