The screen shot to the right shows the main options we suggest you choose when using Trust Pooling Accounting.


Options
**Trust Account Required:
This option should only be selected and tells RMS that you will be using a seperate Trust Account.

   
**Default All Receipts to Trust:
Defaults all receipt types E.g. Cash Cheque, Direct Debit to be trust receipts. Any trust receipts processed for miscellaneous items For Example, shop items, will pay to the Manager during the end of month payment.

   
**Default CreditCard Receipts to Trust:
Defaults Credit Card receipts to be trust receipts. Any trust receipts processed for miscellaneous items For Example, shop items, will pay to the Manager during the end of month payment.

   
Don't print Trust Receipts Automatically:
RMS automatically prints trust receipts each time one is processed onto an account. This option stops that automatic process from happening.

   
Allow General Transfers Before Departure:
RMS by default does not allow any sundry charges to be transferred to the manager until the reservation has been departed. This option over-rides that default E.g. allowing the manager to transfer all income from sundry charges to their general account before the guest has departed.


**Each Area must have an Owner:
Ensures that every Area added into your system has an owner associated.


Replace Owner Name with Acc No on Trust Receipts:
By default the owners name will appear at the top of the trust receipts, this option replaces the owners name with their account number in RMS.


Pay Extra Adults/Children to Manager View:
Charges within a tariff for additional Adults and Children will be paid to the owner. This option tells RMS to instead pay this element of the tariff to the manager.


Allow EOM to be rolled without running Pay Owner/Manager:
Allows the End Of Month to be rolled forward without paying the owners or manager.

   
Charge RMSOnline Charges To Property:
For those properties who have purchased the RMSOnline Module only.
RMS will automatically pass all RMSOnline charges to the owner for reimbursement to the manager.
This option will NOT charge the owner but instead leave the charges as a manager expense.

   
**Include Adhoc in Manager Expenses:
Those charges applied to the Owners Adhoc account will show under the Expenses area of the owners statement.

Pay Owner on Arrival if the Res is staying 28 nights or more
