Creating comp authorizers

Use the Comp Authorizer screen to allow the casino management to create users for authorizing or performing comps for casino players. A comp authorizer is linked to one or more departments and transaction codes that determine which items the users can comp, and comp amount limits. This screen must be added to the menu before you can use it.

To create comp authorizers:

  1. Select Administration > Property > Comp Authorizer.
  2. Specify this information:
    Authorizer Code
    The code for the authorizer. The given code represents the comp user.
    Title
    The title used for the guest.
    First Name
    The first name of the guest.
    Middle Name
    The middle name of the guest.
    Last Name
    The middle name of the guest.
    Email Comp Report
    If this checkbox is selected, the Comp Expense by Authorizer Report is mailed to each Comp authorizer.
    Email Address
    The email address of the recipient Comp authorizer.
    Note: This field is set to Mandatory if the Email Comp Report checkbox is selected.
    Comp Type
    Specify the type of comp the user is allowed to perform.
    Status
    The user status must be set to Active to enable the user to perform comps.
    Allow Tax Comps
    If this check box is selected, the user can comp the tax amounts owed by the guests. This checkbox allows or prevents a user from comping tax charges that were posted in relation to another charge, for example room charge.
    Allow Lump Sum Comps
    If this check box is selected, the user can comp a lump sum amount. For example, instead of comping a specific charge, like room charge, the user can specify an amount to credit the guests folio. For example, you want to give the guest a $50.00 lump sum credit on their bill. This lump sum credit reduces the amount the guest owes by $50, but it does not comp a specific charge.
