Speeding up check-outs with transactions

Q: When someone leaves our park we need to go to Transactions to refund a key deposit, then we have to get back to the reservation to check them out.  Is there a way to streamline this?

A: There are a couple ways to make this easier.

1. While doing the transaction, click on Reservation Details, then check the "Checked Out" checkbox in the upper right.  This will perform the checkout function while you're still working on the transactions -- Save will take you back to Transactions so you can finish up there.

Also, if you forget to do it before closing Transactions, just press Ctrl-R on the keyboard to open Reservation Details for the reservation you were just working with.

2. Reverse the actions -- instead of going to transactions first, do the Check Out function first.  This will automatically open the Transactions dialog so you can do the key refund, if you have the appropriate Prompt option selected.  See Maintenance / Program Options / Prompts, and set the "Checking out with no balance due..." option in the "Open a Transactions dialog when" section.
