3. INSTRUCTIONS OF USE
The process is very simple and you only have to follow these steps to make a room charge.

4. A new Opera pop up will appear where you can search for the customer by name or room number. Click on Search.
5. Select the customer and click on Charge Room.
As you can see, the charge to room process is like another payment method, both for payment and refund, with the only extra that you have to search for the customer by consulting Opera. Very simple.
4. OPERA CONFIGURATION TO SEND ALL PAYMENTS - MAPPING TABLE AND PAYMENT METHODS and REVENUE CENTERS
Optionally the integration between Golfmanager and Opera can send all the Golfmanager collections to Opera so that the accounting is managed in the latter. In order to synchronize the collections and categorize them properly, you have to add in the Golfmanager subfamily the Subtotal number that corresponds to the Opera Sales itemizer. The sales itemizer is like the subfamily in Opera. You will need an Opera technician to match the Golfmanager subfamilies with the Opera subfamilies. They call this process "Maping Table". You can also select which "payment methods" you want to send and which you do not want to send. For this we have to indicate the golfmanager id of the payment methods that will be synchronized. This information will be requested by Opera technicians through tables in an excel file as you see below.
Download here the excel file that will serve use as base for the mapping table.
If you are going to send all payments (plus room charges) and this is going to be done from more than one cash register then you need also to match the "Revenue centers" in Opera with the "cash register Id" in Golfmanager as shows the following image.
5. SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK
If Opera is not working properly, there are 3 possible reasons:
Check the accesses to unsecured content of the browser from which Golf Manager is running (Chrome) on all computers that make room charges.
Check that the Golf Manager-Opera service is started.
Check that the Service is "Running" and if not, click on "Start"
Check that the Opera server is not turned off.
Apart from these three points, it should be confirmed that:
1.- You have not changed the IP and port of the opera server.
In the folder C:\GolfmanagerOpera is the file Config.json you must check that the ip:port is the correct one.
2.- The IP of the computer where the server is also correct.
It is founded in the Golfmanager interface, from Configuration > Opera > Configuration.
