This program sets the dates/date ranges / particular days of the week that surcharges apply.
Usually, surcharges do apply during peak season as well as weekends.
This is a feature in addition to the occupancy formula to manipulate the rate at a certain day, regardless of the occupancy level.
The surcharge can be added to accommodation, Rate code, or BDI, or all three
