RMS Newsletter Spring 2008
Offer Your Guests the Best with RMS!
RMS users can offer their guests protection for their travel investment with travel insurance. RMS automates the process so that reservationists simply click a button to tell RMS to add travel insurance during the booking process. The rates and premiums are automatically calculated and added to the reservation. Travel insurance can just as easily be removed from the reservation within the cancellation period set in the system. Reports can be automatically generated and e-mailed to the insurer. The management company using RMS makes money and the guest feels assured that his travel investment is being protected by spending a little extra on Travel Insurance. Eliminate cancellation headaches and make money with Travel Insurance.
And don’t forget that collecting the money by credit card is easier than ever with the SLIM CD credit card module. SLIM CD has partnered with RMS to allow credit and debit card transactions to be processed using your own computer and an internet connection. Receive automatic authorizations using your familiar RMS. Go online for end of day reports and Batch Settlement Reports. It’s so easy with RMS!

RMS Hot Tip! Undeposited Funds Report
The Undeposited Funds Report may be accessed from an icon on the Accounting Menu. RMS recommends you run this report daily or on a regular basis.
The report will list all posted payments up until the cut off date entered by the user. The list of posted payments should match the list of transactions the user has to deposit into the bank. Always check the list of posted payments from the report with your deposit slip for the bank. Plus verify your credit card transactions with your credit card settlement from your bank card machine or online when using SLIM CD. Users check this report for accuracy so that it matches what is actually being deposited to the bank. The report can be run again, if needed, after corrections are made. If credit cards are included in the undeposited funds report, a worksheet is created to assist users in checking which cards have been processed. This worksheet will not reprint if the same undeposited report is printed again.
RMS will prompt the user to choose a Detailed report or just print Totals. The detailed report prints the transaction number, the date of the transaction, the reservation name, number, unit number, payment description and increase and decrease amount information. The Totals report is a summary of transactions listing the number of entries by type, their total and the total deposit amount.
Once the report matches your deposits, process the transactions using the Make Deposits icon on the Accounting Menu.
