What is Pay Only When Occupied?
In Orion, a payable is created for a service based on the “From” and “To” dates selected in the Direct Costs grid for the unit. Selecting the POWO “Pay Only When Occupied” option on the unit calculates a payable based on the number of days the unit is occupied (Arrival date- Departure date) for the selected posting period. In this instance, the payable will look at the reservation “Arrival” and “Departure” dates, instead of the Unit Direct Costs “UDC” “From” and “To” dates. Pro-rated rent payables use the pro-ration formula saved in the Vendor record to calculate the daily rent payable rate. In order to make this function correctly, the following criteria must be met;
1. The unit has “Pay Only When Occupied” checked.
2. The UDC has a service type “Rent”
3. The service for the unit has “From” and “To” dates that fall within the selected posting period.
4. There is a reservation on the main unit (not in a subunit) within the selected posting period, based on the arrival and departure dates of the reservation(s).
Additionally, we recommend adding a service type for POWO Rent to facilitate posting rents for these units separate from other Rents.
