The Markup Definitions module is used to define markup definition rules. A markup definition rule is used to define the markup amounts that are added on top of the supplier price, and is included in the selling price displayed to customers.

The markup amount is determined according to the rules that are defined made in the following 5 tabs:

  1. Booking Channel: Used for applying markup to the selling channel through which products are sold.

  2. Customer (NOT YET FUNCTIONAL): Used for applying markup according to specific passenger attributes.

  3. Travel Agent/Corporate client: Used for applying markup to products sold to specific travel agents/corporate clients, and markets.

  4. Product: Used for applying markup according to specific parameters related to the products sold through the reservations system (from third party content interfaces, GDS, internal contracts, and also manual transactions)

  5. Dates: Used for applying markup according to either the service start date or the reservation date.

The markup rules are cumulative. The percentage that is applied to the supplier price is the total of all the rules defined in the markup tabs. Therefore, to understand the markup percentage that is applied to a supplier price, it is necessary to examine the contents of all five tabs.

With flights, the markup can also be a fixed amount per person, which is added to the amounts calculated from the rules defined in the other tabs.

Markup rules can be applied to internal contracts, online content interfaces, GDS, and manual transactions.

The markup rules do not apply to self-operation tours, self operation flights, static packages and the bundling wizard.

To apply the markup rules to internal contracts, in the Advanced Definitions expander to the contract, the Based on Business Rules Markup Definitions option needs to be selected.
