Should you wish to add a second billing address to the City Ledger Account, proceed to the Billing Address & Master Account Setup tab.  Enter the second Billing Address information.  Should you wish for this billing address to appear on all invoices and reports pertaining to this City Ledger Account, check the Use Billing Address on Invoices and Statements checkbox.

If this City Ledger Account is to be tied to a Master Account, use the Select Master Account button at the bottom to search for the desired Master Account.

What is a Master Account?

If you have a company with multiple different branches, a Master Account can be used to tie these branches together so when you do a search for the Master Account, a list of all the corresponding branches appear as well. For example, Bank of the World is a City Ledger Account in the PMS. Many different branches of Bank of the World stay at your property and each branch has their own City Account under their own Branch name (ie: XYZ Bank, ABC Bank). By attaching the Bank of the World Master Account to each of these branches, when you do a search for Bank of the World, a list of all the branches will appear as well.

To search for a City Ledger Account, first select how you would like to search, ie: by Account Name, Phone Number or Contact Name. Ensure the correct dial is selected.

Next, enter your search criteria into the What should we be searching for box and select the Search button.

A list of City Accounts that match your search criteria will appear in a list below. Click on the desired City Account and press the Select button in the bottom right and corner of the screen.

Important Note: Master Accounts are their own City Ledger Accounts: therefore the Master City Ledger Account must be created first, before any another City Ledger Accounts can be attached to it.

The Master Account will now be attached to the City Account. Should you wish to remove the Master Account, simply select the Remove Master Account button.

Once finished, select the Save button to create your City Ledger Account
