User must have access to following function to checkout group members.

* Only group members will be checked out except leader.

* Only those members will be checked out, which will have either zero balance or debtor account attached and today's departure : Master excluded.

* As these are group members and in most of the scenarios billing will be by the group leader so folios will not be printed for checked-out guests from this function.
