More Information

Sometimes, a business might want to offer a special price for hiring during a special event or for a promotion.

Creating a Special Offer Price Type

Before you can create special offer periods, you must first create a "Price Type" for special offers.

  • Go to " Booking and Hire Maintenance Options Hire Price Maintenance Add or Edit Price Types".
  • Press <F6> or click [Add].
  • At "Hire price type:", enter a unique 3 character code for special offers.
  • At "Description:", enter a description for special offers.
SPE: Special Offer
  • Optionally at "Colours", choose the text colour and background colour in which you would like the special offer to be displayed.
  • Move to the [Settings] tab.
  • At "Period type:", choose 'Offer Type'.
  • At "Default priority:", enter the default value of priority for "Price Type Periods" of this special offer type.
Priority is a number between '0' and '99' where a higher number means greater priority.
In cases where price type periods overlap, periods with a higher priority take precedence.
It is recommended that special offer types are given a high priority so that they take precedence over all season types.
  • Press [Done] and [Accept] the changes.

Defining Special Offer Periods

Once a special offer price type has been created, you can start defining special offer periods:

  • Go to " Booking and Hire Maintenance Options Hire Price Maintenance Add or Edit Price Type Periods".
  • Press <F6> or click [Add].
  • At "Period type:", choose 'One Off'.
  • At "Price type:", enter the code of the special offer type.
  • At "Priority:", enter the priority of this special offer period.
  • At "From:", enter the date on which and the time at which a booking with the special or promotional price will start.
  • At "To:", enter the date on which and the time at which a booking with the special or promotional price will end.
  • At "Applies to:", choose 'Single Hire Item' and enter the name of the hire item to which the special price applies.
Using "Applies to:", it is possible to make a special offer apply to all hire items or all hire items on a particular price plan.
  • At "Nett price:", enter the nett price for hiring for the duration of the special offer period.
  • Press [Done] and [Accept] the changes.
