Upon activation the Property Manager can then apply an adjustment to bookings that are in an upcoming, active or completed status.

To do this the Property Manager is required to access the Booking via the Bookings Management section and View the booking.

In addition to an email notification being sent to the User the booking details for the User will also be updated to reflect the adjustment (example will be provided later in this update)

<u>**Important: When an additional charge has been applied to the booking, it can no longer be cancelled by either the Property Manager or the User, but it can be updated**</u>

And now onto the refund

When requied to apply a refund to the booking the Property Manager can apply refunds to one or many of the line items. When applying the refund the Property Manager must provide the value against the line item (You cannot exceed that line item value) and apply a reason. The Property Manager can refund multiple items in the one transaction but the reason will apply to all.
