Cross Season Rates
If a service crosses two or more seasons and is entered into a booking for dates crossing the
season boundary, a Manual Rate Entry overlay box stating “Service rate crosses season boundary”
appears. Either accept or override the proposed rate in the overlay box.
The rate proposed will depend on the Cross Season Rates settings described below.
Use First Rate This setting will force the rate to be based on the first
season for the duration of the service.
A good example of this would be Rental Cars. Most Rental
Car companies charge the rate which is valid for the first
day of the rental for the duration of the rental.
Use Average
Rate
This is the default setting when a new supplier is defined.
This setting will take in to account what the rates are
across the season boundaries of the selected dates and
then average the rate for the duration of the service
Split Service This setting will split the service in multiple service lines,
one for each season crossed.
Assume a service has week rates from Monday to Friday
and weekend rates for Saturday. If the service is booked
for 4 nights starting on Friday Tourplan will automatically
create 3 service lines, one for the week rate for Friday, one
for the weekend rate for Saturday and Sunday and one for
the week rate for Monday.
Note that NO Manual Rate Entry overlay box displays
on Split Service entry
Not Allowed This setting will not allow the service to be booked.
An example of this could be a Stay / Pay deal that is only
for a specific period and not allowed outside these dates.
A system message “Cross Season Rates not allowed for
this Price Code” will appear.
