If an account runs out of credit, settlement upon check-out to the City Ledger will not be possible.

• Tag - tags are used to link Corporate/Wholesale/Groups together for reporting purposes
• Attach Rates from Client Type - You have two options when it comes to attaching rates to your Corporate Account:
  
  1)  If you wish to attach generic rates from a specific Corporate Client Type to this Corporate Account, check the “Attach Rates from Client Type” box and use the drop down menu to select the desired Client Type. Be careful doing this, as all companies' rates associated with the chosen “CORP” Client Type will then be attached to this Corporate Account, which may not be the desired outcome.
  
  2)  If you wish to attach a specific rate that would apply to this Corporate Account only (ie: you have created an "ABC Rate" for "ABC Company"), then you would not check this box. You would instead use the "Corporates" Tab on the Rate Plan in the Rate Wizard, and attach this company's Corporate Account to the Rate Plan. Please see the article How To Attach a Rate to Corporate Account Using the Rate Wizard

When all pertinent company and billing information is filled out, click Post to create the Corporate Account.
