Adding a new allocation to a package contract

This topic explains how to add a new allocation to a package contract.

An allocation can be a limited quantity of tickets given to the travel company by the reserving supplier or service provider to sell to customers, or an unlimited amount if a freesale agreement was negotiated. When a contract has an allocation, the service is displayed with OK status in the Reservation System search results.

You can also define in the Package tab, in the Advanced Definitions section, that services be sold as OK up to X days prior to departure, in which case no allocations need to defined.

An activity allocation agreement includes the following:

  1. A quantity of tickets (or unlimited for freesale) allocated to your company (defined in this tab).

  2. The method by which reservations are reported to the supplier, which is done through various automatic or manual processes offered by the system.

There are no release terms for car allocations. If the supplier requires you for any reason to return allocations, you will need to define that the activity is sold on request from a date you specify.

You need to define separate allocations for each price level in the contract.

Allocations are defined separately for each service date. After you define the allocation for a single date, you can create multiple copies of the allocation for each date granted to you by the supplier.

  1. In the contract, select the Allocation tab.

  1. Click Click here to add a new Allocation.

The Allocation Definitions pane is displayed.

  1. In the  Price Level field, select the price level for which you have an allocation.

  2. In the Room Type field, enter the room type you received for the allocation from the supplier.

  3. In the Agent field, select the agent from the drop-down menu.

  4. In the Release Terms expander, define the release terms of the allocation.

  5. Click Done.

  6. Click Save.
