Cancel Prepayment Types

Define Fare Types before creating Cancel Prepayment Types.

Client Registration is designed to allow prepayment faring for a client. The feature is enabled when the Enable Prepaid Faring Deduction system property (found in Tools > System Properties, on the Profile tab, under Faring) is set to Yes. Once money is deposited into the client’s account, fares are automatically deducted when new bookings are created.

If a trip is canceled, based on the type of cancellation as well as the fare type of the client, the Cancel Prepayment Types ancillary data dialog box allows you to determine what happens to the fare tendered when a booking is canceled.


The Cancel Prepayment Types dialog box showing penalty information for three Cancel Codes.

The system does not allow you to define an adjustment amount for the U code (Uncancel). When you use this code to reverse a previous cancellation, the adjustment is also reversed, the booking is still valid, and the client is charged the original fare for the booking.

To add ancillary data, click File > Ancillary Data > Para > Pricing > Cancel Prepayment Types.

Leave the Amount field at 0. The system automatically deposits the full fare back into the account for any trip marked as an Advance Cancellation.
Example 2: A client is charged $1.00 for a Same Day Cancel (CS).
