Prices module helps you organize prices for individuals, groups and full charter in one place and includes easy-to-use tools for bulk editing and automatic calculation of prices.
The module is presented as a grid with rate plans (and specials if applicable) in the left column and trips with price details of each trip displayed in columns to the right in chronological order. Cabin types and occupancies details are listed under the standard rate plan.
To navigate, use the horizontal scroll bar. You can edit trip details if needed by clicking the pencil icon in the top header.
The filtering tools on top of the screen help you narrow down the selection of trips appearing in the module by vessel, product and date.
These four states are colour coded:
Available for booking (green fill) : spaces available for booking at this rate plan
Prices not set (dotted green outline) : prices need to be specified
Booking disabled (grey fill) : rate plan is disabled
Not enough spaces at this rate (yellow fill) : rate plan no longer available due to not meeting minimum space requirement of the rate plan
How to set prices
Depending on the data you provide during availability import Base price for cabin type (lowest priced occupancy in accordance with mapping setting for your import - usually Quad Share for cabins with 4 guests max, Triple or Triple Share for cabins with 3 guests max, Twin Share or Double for cabins with 2 guests max) and Single occupancy will be populated automatically. Enter prices for other occupancies in each cabin type in the boxes provided. All the prices should be set otherwise the trip will get Prices not set status. We highly recommend using formulas to calculate the prices for other available occupancies.
To specify prices of different occupancies of the same cabin type (in the standard rate plan), click the gear icon beside the applicable occupancy.
You can set prices manually for each occupancy, use base price for all, or specify how to calculate (as % or amount difference from base price).
Tip: It's not possible to change the prices manually for mapped occupancies
If applicable, enter the full charter price.
Tip: Group rates are calculated automatically based on standard rate prices according to the rules specified in rate plan setup
