Determining check-in dates flexibility
Click the Flexible check-in dates bar in order to expand the additional configurations tab.

If you plan to use flexible check-in dates, you should create a separate tariff and set the difference in the number of days from the initial date.

For package tours with fixed duration, for example, those lasting for 7 days, tour operators often organize staying in a hotel according to a fixed schedule. When tourists search for offers they can specify other days and thus the tariff is not displayed in the search results. For example, a tour operator sells offers with the check-in date of September 5 and one week stay. For this purpose the corresponding tariff is created and the allotment for September 5-11 is specified. A tourist searches for the offers at the operator's web-site and specifies the following search data: September 6-12. So the offer can not be booked. In order to provide a tourist with an option to view this tariff, you should specify so-called “flexible tariff”

In the Flexible check-in dates section, from the drop-down, select the number of days from the initial date, when this tariff may be offered.

Connecting price-lists
In the Price-lists group you can view the list of already connected price-lists, if you are adjusting the tariffs of a previously created hotel, and connect new price-lists.

The table of connected price-lists is displayed as follows:

To edit an existing price-list just update available price-list fields.

To disconnect a price-list from a tariff, click Delete icon opposite the price-list you want to remove.

To connect a new price-list to the tariff, you need to click Add button.

Setting price-lists for customers and suppliers
If you are planning to use several price-lists for mutual settlement with suppliers and clients, you need several price-lists with net prices and gross prices for board and residence service.

Several price-lists can be useful, when some of your suppliers apply complicated pricing schemes. In this case the gross price of the seat can’t be set by adding a common mark-up to a net price as usual, but is set separately for different service classes, tourist categories, etc. For better distinction of your price lists and price types we recommend to add "gross" and "net" to their titles correspondingly. You can set the price-lists that are used for working with clients and suppliers in the tariff settings.

• If you want to include taxes for customers and suppliers, then in tariff settings you can select the option "Taxes included":

• If you want to create a new tariff that differs little from existing ones, then in tariff settings you can select the option "Inherit prices from the following tariff" and add only some changes to new tariff.

• If you want to set daily rates, click Use daily rates.

• If you use the same price-lists for both a customer and a supplier, click Use the same price-lists for both customer and supplier.

• If you use different price-lists for customers and suppliers, click Use net price-lists for supplier and gross price-lists for customer. Separate forms for net and gross price-lists appear:

• If initially you click Use the same price-lists for both customer and supplier, add the price-list to the tariff and click Use net price-lists for supplier and gross price-lists for customer, your price-list is displayed in the Net price-lists group.

Price calculation for Search&Book
If you click Use the same price-lists for both customer and supplier option when editing the tariff, price calculation is implemented in the following way:

• The net-price of the service (the amount that is paid to a supplier) is equal to the price in the price-list after minus the supplier’s discount and tour operator’s commission, which is calculated according to the actual commission plan:
  Net price = The price in the price-list – Supplier’s discount – Tour operator’s commission

• The gross-price (the price for a tourist) is equal to the net-price with the tour operator’s mark-up minus supplier’s and tour operator’s discounts:
  Gross price = The price in the price-list + Tour operator’s mark-up – Supplier’s discount – Tour operator’s discount

If you click Use net price-lists for supplier and gross price-lists for customer when editing the tariff, the price calculation will be implemented in the following way:

• The net-price of the service (the amount that is paid to a supplier) is equal to the price, specified in the "net" price-list minus supplier’s and tour operator’s discounts:
  Net price = The price in the price-list with net-prices – Supplier’s discount – Tour operator’s commission

• The gross-price (the price for a tourist) is equal to the price, specified in the "gross" price-list with the tour operator’s mark-up minus tour operator’s discount:
  Gross price = The price in the price-list with gross-prices – Tour operator’s discount + Tour operator’s mark-up

Tags
Every new product or tariff has a “public” tag by default. This means that they are available for search and booking for all customers.

However, you can create additional tags. In this case, if a product or a tariff contains at least one additional tag along with the “public” tag, the conditions of the additional tag are applied to them.

For instance, if you add the “private” tag to the product, it is only displayed in search results for the customers that have access to the “private” products according to the contract.
This means that the customer contract must contain either the “private” tag or several tags, including the mentioned above, for example, the "public" and "private" tags. The product is unavailable for customers if the “private” tag is not included in their tag list.

On the Setting reservation modifications tab you can set conditions upon which users can modify hotel booking reservations. Select from the following options:
