Description. Activate the Open Folio functionality.

Internal Name. OPEN_FOLIO

Property Determination. When the Open Folio Parameter is active, it is possible for the guest to check out and still allow charges to be added to the guest's folio. When the guest checks out and the Check Out with Open Folio option is chosen, the guest may check out with an outstanding balance and charges can continue to be manually posted to the folio until such time as final settlement is made. The property is responsible for monitoring reservations that are checked out with an open folio and for ensuring settlement when appropriate; no limit is placed on the time during which charges may continue to be added to the open folio. Each day during the End of Day routine, checked out reservations for which Check Out with Open Folio is in-effect will not halt processing, even if they have an outstanding balance. The Guest Ledger report will show reservations with an open folio balance.
