Package Plan Categories

Package Plan Categories are used with the Package Revenue Report from the Reports Area, to help classify the revenue generated from any Packages offered at the Property, and should be used by assigning specific posting types you wish to see the revenue information for in the report to the categories designated here. Each Package Plan Category will appear as a separate column on the report. Skyware Systems installs your system with a set that are relatively standard (food, beverage, on-site, off-site), but your Property can personalize further what you are looking for.

This is part of the OPTIONAL configuration for Skyware Systems. You may edit the configuration to suit your Property at any time if you have the appropriate access/authorization.

This selection is part of the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware.
