Which detail holds all payment information for the guest including payment type, advance deposit information and Direct Bill information, plus Travel Agent IATA ID number?

• A. Account Detail
• B. Room/Stay Detail
• C. Email/Notes Detail
• D. Guest Detail

Answer: (A)

Payment and billing data for a guest are kept together in the guest’s Account Detail in a front office system. This area stores the payment type, any advance deposit information, Direct Bill details, and identifiers used for travel-agent billing such as the Travel Agent IATA ID. That combination makes Account Detail the central place for all payment-related information and settlement data for the guest’s stay. The other sections focus on different things: Room/Stay Detail covers room assignment, dates, and stay specifics; Email/Notes Detail holds communications and notes; Guest Detail contains personal information like name and contact details.
