The Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals report displays Authorizations for all bookings listed in "Remaining Arrivals" that have not checked in as of the time of Night Audit.

This function is completed after Night Audit, for 'today's arrivals, in order to get a list of bookings where the credit card 'guaranteeing' the booking has insufficient funds to cover an authorization for 'tonight's rate'. Thus, these bookings can be contacted (for a new 'Guarantee by:") or their booking cancelled in order to free rooms to re-sell 'today'.

Any User with 'Night Audit; access can run this function during Night Audit by clicking the "Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals" which is visible ABOVE 'Settle Credit Cards' . The amount authorized is the amount of the first night's rate (i.e., today's rate) but not including tax.  Learn more in MyCard- Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals and MyCard - Night Audit

Note: The date of the authorization is displayed at the top of the report. For example,  "11/22/15 9:11 PM by <user name>". This reflects the time that the Pre-authorization was completed in Night Audit (Pacific Standard Time). See Understanding the Night Audit

To pre- authorize a dollar amount on a guest credit card when checking a guest in, opening see what credit card is 'guaranteeing' the booking, go to the Booking Details and go to then the Booking Data Tab (See Booking Data).

The Auto Authorization function allows you to charge a pre-determined authorization amount to a guest credit card upon check-in.

To use Auto Authorization, the setting must be enabled. Go to SETUP | PMS | SETUP. See SETUP

• Auth Flat Fee: Any authorization at check in At check, the authorization will add the value from this setting amount (found under Hotel Setup) for EACH card authorization. This is a onetime authorization charge per booking checked when doing the authorization at check in.
• Auth Nightly Fee: Any authorization at check in At check, the authorization will add the value from this setting (found under Hotel Setup) for EACH NIGHT OF THE STAY to the card authorization amount. This is a onetime authorization charge per booking checked in and at check in - if a booking is edited to extend or shorten, (shortened or extend) this authorization will NOT change automatically. The only way to increase or decrease an authorization Is to do so manually.
