The Commission/Reduction module is used for creating rules for granting commissions/reductions to the products sold through the system. If you are a wholesaler, you can use this module to grant commissions to the travel agents, and markets you are working with. If you are a travel agency or travel management company (TMC), you can use this module to grant reductions, to corporate clients, markets, and direct sales.
The commission/reduction is applied to transactions in the Reservations System, and is reflected in the invoices that are issued. When relevant, you have the option of manually changing the commission/reduction in transactions on an individual basis.
The commission/reduction can be a percentage or a fixed amount and is defined according to various criteria you define, including service type, service dates, product, and destination.
With travel agents/corporate clients, the commission/reduction is determined according to a commercial agreement you negotiate. You can also copy and delete all rules created for a specific travel agent/corporate client

You can have your project manager enable that markup be applied from the commission/reduction rules. If enabled, you can use the Commission/Reduction Definitions module to create markup rules that apply also to the supplier paid. |
The commission/reduction rule parameters have a hierarchy, which is as follows (from strongest to weakest):
Travel agent/corporate client (strongest)
Market
Passenger attribute
Product
Price level
Service dates
Service provider
Supplier paid
Reserved through
Service type
Price component
Travel file attribute
City pair (flights)
Destination (weakest)
More specific commission/reduction rules take precedence over less specific rules.
Commission/reduction rules for travel agents/corporate clients apply to all services purchased by the travel agent/corporate client.
When searching for rules that match specific parameters, less specific rules that can be applied are also displayed.
Each time the transaction is updated from the PNR (either automatically or manually), the system searches for the most relevant rule and overrides any previous commission/reduction that was applied to the transaction, unless an invoice was issued.
