Order settings
Actions
For UdBOs that are part of the Reservations, Work Order (including Catering) and Move Order, the following actions must be available on the layouts:
Action
Description
Send costs to Financial Collection
When the Orders are in the specified status, the Action will become available and can be applied for one single Order, to create a new Financial Collection or update an existing Financial Collection.
Status > Administratively Completed
The Financial Collection checks if Orders are in the system status ‘Administratively Completed’, to be able to Send cost to Financial Collection. As in this Status, no Costs are allowed to be changed, for an update/change of Costs a status-transition back to a different System status is required.
Status > Canceled
The Financial Collection can be Canceled (which results in reversal of the individual Lines) by changing an Order to the System status ‘Canceled’, it would then update the Financial Collection Status as well, to trigger the batch job. It is possible to Send costs to Financial Collection in this Status as well. When ‘Canceled’ is used to reverse the total Cost Collection, but the Order needs to be updated, a status transition from Canceled back to the Active statuses must be configured.
