P10 No-Show Detection and Charging - Modeling Notes

Date: 2026-05-18

Process intent

Model overnight no-show handling from cutoff detection through policy-driven charging, retry/fallback outcomes, and operational inventory release.

Participants

  • Hotel National Zermatt
    • Front Office
    • Finance
    • Operations / Housekeeping
  • Payment Provider
  • Guest

Distinct process behavior

  • Cutoff-triggered no-show candidate decision (not guest-request triggered).
  • DMN policy decision to decide whether no-show charge is allowed.
  • Charge capture branch with retry loop before pending-recovery outcome.
  • Separate no-charge release outcome when policy denies charging.
  • Successful charge branch includes revenue posting and inventory/forecast release.

Non-blocking lint warning

Flow_P10_Retry_Yes is a deliberate right-to-left retry loop from failed charge to reattempt capture.
