General Payment Codes
General payment codes include those for Cash, checks, wire transfers, and direct bill.
​
"Enter payment code" up to four alphanumeric characters. NOTE: Case matters. "B" is not the same as "b". The first two character should be UPPER CASE letters since some codes are predefined. See List of Codes for pre-defined codes and special notes. If you wish to specify the sales outlet or revenue department you may make that part of the code but the first two characters must be the same. For example if you want Front Desk Cash, Restaurant Cash, Deposits Cash, and Spa Cash you may set up CAFD, CARE, CADE, and CASP. For Cash payment codes, the first two characters should be CA. If you have only one Cash payment code, CA is fine. You must use DB for Direct Bill if you are using the built-in Direct Bill features in Execu/Suite. "1. Description" can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters. This description will print on reports and folios. "2. Gen ledger acct - CR" is the General Ledger CREDIT account that transactions using this code should post to if you are using Execu/Tech's Back Office Accounting or one of our interfaces to a third-party general ledger system. If you do not know the account number to put in this field, you should consult your accountant. Execu/Tech offers no accounting service of any kind. "3. Gen ledger acct - DR" is the General Ledger DEBIT account that transactions using this code should post to if you are using Execu/Tech's Back Office Accounting or one of our interfaces to a third-party general ledger system. If you do not know the account number to put in this field, you should consult your accountant. Execu/Tech offers no accounting service of any kind. "4. G/L Journal Code" is the 2-character General Ledger journal code that transactions using this code should post if you are using Execu/Tech's Back Office Accounting or one of our interfaces to a third-party general ledger system. If you do not know what to put in this field, you should consult your accountant. Execu/Tech offers no accounting service of any kind. "5. Credit limit amount" sets the default credit limit amount for this payment type. If you prefer to leave this field blank, you may assign a credit limit per guest at check-in. "6. Limit per Stay/Day" sets the credit limit entered in Field 5 ("Credit limit amount") per Stay if S and per Day if D. For example, if the credit limit amount in Field 5 is $500, then S in Field 6 will assign a credit limit of $500 for the entire stay and D will assign a credit limit of $500 for each day. NOTE: A "day" begins after night audit Reorganize Files has been run and ends when the next Reorganize Files is run. "7. Credit card?" should be N for any payment code that is not a credit card type. "8. Master folio no." should be blank except for the DEP payment code which is explained in the Advance Deposits section of this document. "9. Central resv code" should be blank unless advised by Execu/Tech. "10. Include in deposit?" should be Y if you want this payment type included in "Bank Deposits" as well as "Payments" on the Cashier Report. N will exclude it from the "Bank Deposits" section but will include it on the "Payments" section. Typically "Bank Deposits" is used to reconcile the cash drawer at shift end. "11. City ledger account?" should be blank unless advised by Execu/Tech. "12. Allow comment entry?" may be Y to allow users to enter a comment when posting this payment type. N bypasses the comment field and defaults to the description for this payment type. Credit card payment types should have N in this field. "13. Display item?" if Y will display this payment type on the Post Charges and Payments (Post Folio) screen. N will not display it. Back to top
Advance deposits should be posted using the payment type of the funds received such as CK for Check or VS for Visa.
You may have separate payment codes to designate payments received as deposits. For example, you might set up CKF for Check-Front Desk and CKD for Check-Advance Deposits Cash or VSF and VSD for Visa.
A code used internally must also be set up. This code is DEP and should never be posted by a user. The DEP code is used to "move" a guest's deposit from the advance deposit master folio into the guest's folio at check-in and should always total zero on the payment journal and final recap. It shows up as DEPU on the reports - it posts a debit to the advance deposit master folio and a credit to the guest's folio at check-in.
If you are using Execu/Tech's Back Office accounting system, you will need to set up DEPU as well as DEP. See hotel-advance-deposits-GL-entries.pdf for details.
"Enter payment code" should be DEP "1. Description" should be ADVANCE DEPOSIT. "2. Gen ledger acct - CR" may be blank since this is a clearing code (total is zero at all times) "3. Gen ledger acct - DR" may be blank since this is a clearing code. "4. G/L Journal Code" may be blank. "5. Credit limit amount" is not applicable to DEP. "6. Limit per Stay/Day" is not applicable to DEP. "7. Credit card?" should be N. "8. Master folio no." should be the folio number for the Advance Deposits Master Folio. This is a required field for DEP. "9. Central resv code" should be blank unless advised by Execu/Tech. "10. Include in deposit?" is not applicable to DEP. "11. City ledger account?" is not applicable to DEP. "12. Allow comment entry?" is not applicable to DEP. "13. Display item?" should be N. Back to top
If you have Execu/Tech's interface to Shift4 or Worldpay for integrated credit card processing, payment codes for credit cards must be set up in a specific way.
Your hotel credit card payment codes must match those in the credit card interface configuration.
