Postgroups
Post Groups allows the user to define how charges will appear on the guest folio and allow charges to be consolidated on the guest folio in various ways.
When a post group is assigned a consolidation type, all articles linked to this post group will follow the rules for that type. For example a post group `Business Services' could be configured as `DAYPOST' meaning that all the articles linked to this post group (which could be hi-speed internet, faxes, copies) will not appear in detail on the customer invoice but only as a single line posting per day, and will use the description of the post group (Business Services) and show one total amount per day.
Postgroups are accessed from the main menu, Settings > Financial > Post group
On selecting the option, the postgroups window opens and will also display all previously created postgroups.
Open a post group by double clicking on it, or by selecting it and pushing the OK button.

Description - Enter the description of the post group. This description will appear on the invoice of the guest. (pending the consolidation method selected)
Consolidation type - These options set the 'default' consolidation. A user can change the consolidation type at checkout of any postgroup. If consolidation Type is left blank, the posting will pick up the description of the article PLU posted instead of the description of the postgroup.

Note: Some articles allow a posting reference (depends on the setup in articles) If the same reference is entered on multiple postings and this is the default consolidation of the postgroup that these articles are linked to, it will consolidate them into a single line for the stay using the reference description.
STAYARTI - Will consolidate a singe line per stay, with a description of the article PLU.
