With hotels, there are three methods in which the service price is calculated:
Price per person per night * number of passengers * number of nights. For example, the price for each person in a double is 100 USD per night. If the reservation is for 2 people for five nights, the full price is 100 USD * 2 passengers * 5 nights = 1,000 USD.
Price per person in double * number of nights. For example, the total cost for a person in a double for 5 nights is 500 USD * 2 passengers in a room = 1,000$
Total price for the entire transaction. For example, the hotel tells you that the cost for 2 passengers in a double for 5 nights is 1,000 USD. This option is relevant for the Accounting tab.
Hotels are usually priced in the Pricing by Price Components section where you can breakdown the price per night and per passenger.
In this section, you can view the price breakdown for each price component. There are expanders for the main service, the board base and supplements.
By default markup and commission information is taken from the product contract or the interface and entered automatically into the transaction.
If you are creating a manual transaction, you need to enter the information manually. However, default markup and commission percentages are automatically inserted from either the supplier account or the supplier account.
|
The default markup defined in the supplier account is overruled by the markup defined in the business rules. |
When entering information in this section, for each component (room, board basis, and supplement), start by entering the Supplier Price. Then edit the markup percentage and/or commission amounts, the Net and Selling Price columns are updated automatically.
After you are done entering the pricing information, click the Update passenger prices button to update the total prices for each passenger at the bottom of the tab, which contains the total price for each passenger.
In this section, you can also view the room joining of the passengers.
With manual transactions, you can select the passengers and click the Join/Unjoin button to join the passengers in rooms. This can also be done in the main page of the travel file in the Passenger’s section to apply the room joining for all transactions in the travel file.
