Posting Type Departments

Posting Type Departments can be set up to categorize post types so that the long lists of individual post types can be organized and easy to find when you do a posting.

The following Posting Type Departments come standard with your system: Room, Tax, Payment, and Deposit.  You can delete them if they are not needed (Note: They can only be deleted if there are no posting types attached to them) and add as many post departments as you need.

This is part of the required configuration for Skyware Systems and is initially performed at installation for you. You may however 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.
