Updated on

1. Go to Bookings > Payments reminders.

On this page you have two sections Due payments and Recent bookings.
both can be used to check for monies due (Due Payment) and any deposits paid by guests during the booking process (Recent bookings).
Using the filter options you can easily keep track of bookings with upcoming due payments.

Please note:
Depending on the setup of your account you might not see all of the features discussed below.
The combination of filters and options is not standardised. Only options relevant to your account are being shown.

Due Payments
Customer payments due with  x  days

This allows you to look at a specific range of dates within which the payments will be due.
The bookings found will then be filter by the other option.

View agents

This option is a bit of a legacy feature.
In times gone by it was not unusual for a (real live) travel agents to enter bookings directly into SuperControl. Using this filter it was/is possible to search for bookings from these travel agents.
Nowadays any booking entered by an online travel agent (OTA) could be filtered for by using the automatically created agents for the channels you are connecting to.

In the example below, only bookings with the Booking.com commission agent are being listed, when payments are due within the next 3 days.

Please note:
The booking type might be coming up as Website and showing you own website, but that is automatically done by the system just like when looking for bookings under Bookings > Search bookings. Where the booking type is showing your website.

Affiliate

Depending on the channel integrations that have been set up, the options in the drop-down for affiliates will vary.
This filter provides the option to filter for bookings from specific channels only.

Exclude affiliate bookings

This options allows to exclude any affiliate bookings.
When the channel is collected the money from the guest and there is no option to mark the booking off as paid in SuperControl automatically, you might find a lot of channel bookings seemingly all due for payment, when in reality this has already been taken care of by the channel.
This option allows you to exclude affiliate / channel bookings and only get a list of Admin bookings and those received by your own website.
