Discounts on Packages

The configuration in the package masterfile determines how discounts on packages are processed. There are three options:

1.   on package

The discount applies to the total package price.

2.   on components

The discount is calculated based on discountable elements of the component list only. Non-discountable services on the component list are not included in the discount.

3.   not possible

The package cannot be discounted.

When applying a discount “on package”, the discount is calculated on the total package price, including any non-discountable elements on the component list. However, when distributing the revenue, SIHOT deducts the discount from discountable elements only.

Under certain circumstances, this calculation may lead to a negative revenue on a discountable package component (usually accommodation). To avoid this situation, activate registry key [5481]. When this registry key is activated, the discount is deducted from all elements on the component list, including the non-discountable ones.

Using above example, the calculation would then be as follows:
