Keeping it from recalculating after manual changes |

Q: How can I keep it from automatically replacing charges I've deleted to make adjustments, without always going to Reservation Details and disabling the "Recalculate" option?
A: Campground Master knows which transactions were added automatically through Auto-rates, and will always keep checking to see if the correct Auto-rates are present as long as you have the option selected in Maintenance / Program Options / Auto-Rates, "Automatically recalculate charges whenever reservation details are changed". While you could disable that feature, this would stop if from adding new charges or making corrections when it's supposed to, such as extending the reservation or changing to a different-priced site.
The correct way to handle it is to never delete the Auto-charges (which are in blue) -- always leave those alone. If you want to make a manual adjustment for some reason, do it by adding transactions (Charges or Discounts) to make the price adjustment as needed. Auto-rates ignores any manually-added transactions (which will be in white), so it won't recalculate as long as its original auto-rates charges are still there.
