Adding Transactions

There are basically two ways to enter transactions -- either through the Transactions Dialog used for normal charge/payment transactions (for reservations, customers, and unbound transactions), or through separate transaction entry dialogs for Expense and Misc. Income transactions.  Note that only operators with Manager access or above can enter Expense or Misc. Income transactions.  Any operator with Clerk access or higher may enter other transactions.

This chapter goes into detail for all of the Transaction-related functions.  For the basics of how to get started entering transactions for your customer's reservations, refer to the Transactions topic in the Working with Reservations chapter.
