In the main Reservation menu, there is a new functionality called No-Show Processing. In this screen the user sees all no-shows at the hotel, and can filter them according to different criteria. The user then has the option to charge the no-show fee to a guest and post the payment or waive the no-show fee. The status of the process (Processed/Waived) as well as the balance of the folio (Open/Closed) will be reflected in the list.

The report also offers the option to include taxes and elements such as breakfast into the display on the report.
