Resort Fee and Folio Mapping

[superuser367]

Hello,

Regarding Expense's automation of hotel transactions into itemized expenses, our setup calls out the Resort Fee as a lodging tax. But its not a tax (is it?). Its a fee that is slapped in by the hotel which I believe is taxable against the daily rate. I would like to try and map this fee to a special "Fee" expense. I cannot figure out how Expense is seeing the Resort Fee and mapping it to the Lodging Lax expense. Within the Folio Mapping administration, only the following items are mapped to the Lodging Tax expense:

• County Room Tax
• Federal Room Tax
• General Taxes
• Municipal Room Tax
• Provincial Room Tax

How do others handle this?

Thank you,

Patrick

@superuser367 there is an option for Other Charges in the Folio Type mapping, so maybe you could create a new Expense Type named Resort Fee and then map it to this Other Charges. Just a thought. 🙂
