Open Tour Maintenance
Setting up a packages is the same procedure as
a day tour with the exception that when the "can
have components" tickbox on the advanced
tab is selected - this activates the component
button, and allows you to set up component "sets".
Components are required to create invoices to
suppliers for services, and be spread over many
days with many different bus routes associated
during the tour.
Components...
A component is effectively a day tour or accommodation
which is used within a package. It can be a set
up specifically for use in this package, or an
existing day tour or accommodation. Where this
package has a particular availability allocation
a new code will need to be set up to control this
availability.
Components Sets...
The Component sets determine the sequence and
duration of the components. The sequence is the
order in which the components appear in the booking,
the Nights are the duration of nights over which
the component runs, and the day is the start date
(relative to the date chosen when making a new
booking) of the component. There can be any number
of components on a single day. A component set
is relative to the basis and subbasis chosen for
the tour code. Where no basis & subbasis exist
a standard set will be created as soon as the
tour code is typed into a new booking. Where they
DO exist, the appropriate component set will be
created when the basis & subbasis are chosen.
Package Maintenance Summary...
Setting up components for packages is a lot simpler
than it appears! And it allows you a lot of flexibility.
