The following corporate revenue classifications are included by default: Food, Beverage, Resource, Audio Visual, Function Room Rental, Administrative Charge, and Other. While you can use corporate revenue classifications most of the time, you might need to use property-specific revenue classifications for unique tax needs.
For example, your property sells sub-categories of items that require unique tax rules. Beer and wine are subject to your standard 9.25% state sales tax, but spirits are also subject to a 15% liquor tax. To account for the additional tax applied to spirits, you can create a Liquor revenue classification for the property and then assign it both the 9.25% state sales tax and the 15% liquor tax. This ensures that beer, wine, and spirits taxes are correct on your banquet checks.
You cannot create new corporate revenue classifications
Before R23, you might have created property-specific revenue classifications and added child revenue classifications to accommodate the different taxes, admin charges, and gratuity. You can continue to work in this way, or enable the property-specific admin and gratuity feature, available with version R23 and higher.
To create a revenue classification
- In the Revenue Classifications section of the Property page, click New.
- Complete the fields on this page, as needed.
The required fields display a red indicator. These fields need to be complete before you can save the record.
Field Description Name Each revenue classification needs to have a unique name. If you create the same revenue classification for multiple properties, include the property in the name. The following standard corporate revenue classifications are available by default: Food, Beverage, Resource, Audio Visual, Function Room Rental, Administrative Charge, and Other. Do not change these names.
Parent Classification Each property-specific revenue classification needs to be assigned to a parent. For example, Beverage can be the parent of Liquor. Consider the following: - Corporate revenue classifications exist at the root level, so they do not have parents.
- If you need to change the parent, you need to select one that is within the same root classification. For example, you can move Liquor anywhere under Beverage, but you cannot move it to Food.
- Only one revenue classification can be defined for Function Room Rental and Administrative Charge. Because these classifications already exist as corporate defaults, do not select them to be the parent of the classification you create.
Default Admin Charge This is the default admin charge that applies to records assigned to this revenue classification. This percentage is used to calculate admin charges on banquet checks. It can also be used in tax calculations. If needed, users can modify the admin charge on the event.
Default Gratuity This is the default gratuity that applies to records assigned to this revenue classification. This percentage is used to calculate gratuity on banquet checks. It can also be used in tax calculations. If needed, users can modify the gratuity on the event.
Apply Admin & Gratuity to Discount Price With this option selected, admin and gratuity charges are calculated using the discount price of all menus and items associated to the revenue classification. With this option cleared, the base price is used to calculate admin and gratuity unless otherwise indicated at the event level or the item level. See Apply admin and gratuity to discounts.
Active With this option selected, the revenue classification is available to all users at the property. With this option cleared, the revenue classification is deactivated. The classification still displays in existing records but is not available for new records.
You cannot deactivate the standard corporate revenue classifications.
Property This is the name of the property associated with the revenue classification. Corporate revenue classifications do not have an associated property.
Root Classification The Root Classification checkbox applies only to corporate revenue classifications. Do not change this setting. For information on enabling custom corporate revenue classifications in your org, contact Amadeus Support.
