TOPICS

Fix Dates on Owner Transactions

This utility puts the arrival and departure date from the reservation on the B7DF and B7DI revenue and non-revenue owner transactions that appear on the owner statement.  It allows prior owner statements generated with RDP-DOS to be printed in RDPWin.  If an owner statement displays a zero for the number of nights, this utility also fixes that problem.

Fix Direct Check-Out Tx Dates

The Fix Direct Check-Out Tx Dates utility is only available if the Owner Billing (R3) module is installed and Switch 414-13 is active.  Use to fix a bug present in Versions 1.214 - 1.1218.  This bug only affects reservations that have arrival and departure dates in different months.  It did not set the transaction date to the correct departure month.  Run to scan all checked-out reservations and verify that the transaction dates for reservations with arrival and departure dates in different months are correct. 

From the system menu, select "Fix Direct Check-out Tx Dates"  from the Owner Utilities sub-menu.  Click Yes to continue.  After running this utility, run the 998 DOS Option 1 to update the G/L account balances for the months in question. This utility should only be run when directed by a RDP support person.

Verify DI Transactions

DI transactions are "non-revenue" owner transactions or non-paying type reservations such Timeshare Owner reservations or Exchange Reservations or Guest of Owner reservations.  Owner statements use these codes to show the non-paying reservations. 

The utility, which should only be run AFTER speaking with RDP Support,  looks at checked-out reservations and decides whether a DI code should be generated.  If yes, it looks at the owner for that reservation and checks to see if a DI code exists. If it does exist, nothing is done. If it doesn’t exist, then it generates a DI code.

Populate Taxpayer ID#

Because customers have used Comment 1 (or perhaps 2,3,4,...) to hold the identification number in versions prior to 1.212, this utility assists with updating their data. Select from Comment Fields 1-11 to transfer the first nine (9) alpha-numeric characters from that Comment field into the new Tax Payer ID field on the owner master.  For example, if Comment 1 is being used to hold the tax payer identification number as 12-3456-789, this utility moves 123456789 (dashes removed) into the Tax Payer ID field and displays the updated owners in a grid.  If the incorrect Comment Field is selected in error, run the utility again identifying the correct Comment Field.  The originally selected Comment Field remains unchanged.

Fix Blank Day Count Records

Use "Fix Blank Day Count Records" to correct the fact that RDP's data files have stat records with blank "Day Count" codes.  Since they are blank, the occupancy statistics are not correct in the OTotal file.  Run this utility to fill in the field with the appropriate value for the beginning stat date, and then run RDP-DOS 902 to fix the OTotal file.  If the CF table doesn't have anything in the Day Count Override, the system uses PN, ON, GN, XN, etc., for the day count code on the stat record based on the reservation type.  RDPWin first looks at Field 2 in the CF table to determine the day count code.  If blank, "N" is added to the reservation type (PN, ON, etc.).  If not blank, the value in Field 2 is used as the day count code.   If totals are off for the year, enter 1/1/07.
