There are four types of package categories.
- Room Package https://atlassian.ehors.com:9343/display/EW/ROOM+PACKAGE+MANUAL
- Venue/Banquet/Function package https://atlassian.ehors.com:9343/display/EW/VENUE+OR+BANQUET+PACKAGE+MANUAL
- Spa https://atlassian.ehors.com:9343/display/EW/SPA+PACKAGE+MANUAL
- Attraction package. https://atlassian.ehors.com:9343/display/EW/ATTRACTION+PACKAGE+MANUAL
A package for an attraction, Venue, or Spa doesn't need a rate code.
- A package is a fixed number of days/nights
- All BDI components are allocated to the correct day of revenue recognition
- The charge of the complete package price will be at the moment of check-in, however, the revenues will be booked according to the actual revenue dates
- Early check-out will NOT result in an automatic correction. It is NOT common in the industry to correct packages due to their special pricing nature already.
- A rate code can have the same components as a package, however, the “first-day” BDI’s will all be recognized on the first day of check-in. The issue here is that e.g. if the guest is entitled to a free massage if staying for a minimum of 3 nights, it becomes manual in a rate code. A package would protect this type of promo.
Rules:
- if room or venue, no market segment/source needs to be selected. Segment and source will follow the segment and source of the rate code. If the selection is attraction the frame for the selection of segment and source is released.
- package type is no longer relevant
- if the number of days = 1, the day column in the BDI box is pre-selected
- the BDI grid extends to tally the number of nights, meaning if a package is 3 nights, there are 3 columns with days 1,2,3
- amounts in the BDI box can be entered any value, including 0 and negative
