Review ACIHOTEL in ImaCash
The AciHotel option in ImaCash combines a hotel read flow and a POS read flow. This guide describes that connector for installations prepared by the provider; it does not guarantee compatibility with every ACIHOTEL or ACITPV version or module.
Installation requirements
Confirm both sources’ compatible structure and a private SQL account with the required read permissions with the provider. Choosing arbitrary database names is not enough. Preserve the working configuration and request technical review before editing it.
Review the configuration
- In ImaCash Configuration, open Integration and select POS > AciHotel.
- With support, review these fields using only private details supplied by the administrator:
- Server/IP and Port: the SQL Server destination confirmed for this installation. Do not use screenshot values or assume a universal port.
- Database name: the database corresponding to the hotel.
- Workstations: the name of the second database, corresponding to the POS. In this connection it is not a till number, a workstation list or a terminal filter.
- Instance: the SQL Server instance name where required by the connection profile. Port and instance are not automatically combined in every configuration; support must confirm the valid mode.
- Fill in User and Password with the private SQL account prepared for both sources. Enter the password only in ImaCash. This mode has no separate Windows authentication option or sales file path.
Hotel and POS payment methods
If the setup assistant shows Cash type after checking the connection, select the actual method confirmed by the provider. An empty catalogue or cancelling that step does not establish a valid configuration. The current screen has no card selection: a previous method may remain saved, but new card setup is not guaranteed through this form. The hotel includes only the prepared cash or card methods; other methods are omitted. With support and no operations in progress, verify that saved changes apply at the next normal ImaCash startup.
The POS read flow includes only certain documents and presents them as cash, without splitting payment methods. Card acceptance does not reclassify these amounts. Before enabling automatic cash payments, confirm that only movements to be treated as cash are included and avoid duplication between hotel and POS. If this cannot be guaranteed, do not consider capture validated.
Workstations, staff and filters
Hotel and POS do not provide the same workstation and staff information. A workstation filter can exclude hotel payments, and a staff filter can exclude POS documents. Check both read flows separately against known documents; do not assume a combination of filters isolates a till or person in the same way in both sources.
Check before operational use
With the provider, verify both read flows separately: reference, date, amount and payment method. Include cash, card, mixed payments and refunds according to the agreed scope. Check missing or duplicate movements and filter effects; a successful connection status does not establish that both reads are complete. Do not perform real payments or refunds to test setup.
The connection reads data; it does not import products or write confirmations or rejections to the POS. It does not establish document closure, bank payment, reconciliation or physical validation of a cash machine. The provider must confirm each installation’s continuity and scope.
