Overview
Extra categories allow you to group extra charges internally in Amenitiz. They help you organise long lists of extras and make charges reports easier to analyse, especially if you manage many extras such as restaurant or breakfast charges.
Categories are internal only and are not visible to guests. This article explains how to create, edit and use categories for extras, and how they affect reporting.
Before you start
You must have access to the Amenitiz administrator area.
Extras must already exist if you want to assign them to a category immediately.(You can also link extras to categories later.)
