Prices

A Price record controls how much we sell a Price Item (which links to a service) for.

Price Settings

Type

  • Typically a Sale price, but can be a discount or commission type if we wish to introduce fixed discounts or commissions

Option Types

  • We can apply price entries to options defined in the Option Types (see Service Option Types) which are selected in the Booking screen.

  • Examples might be different prices based on type of room, type of board, transfer types - all of which may have the same or different prices

Min Qty and Max Qty

  • These can be used to create a 'price break' e.g. from 1 to 4 Weeks

Apply Discount Qty and Discount Qty

  • When the Discount Price Type is used, use Discount Qty as a multiplier to the discount

  • E.g. For a Booking between 1 to 10 weeks, Apply a Discount Qty of 1 week @ £100.00 per week

Description

  • The text that appears as a line in the journal which is also the line item on the invoice.  Due to this, it is important that the Description is simple, but meaningful.

Units

  • Each

    • Duration is not used, price per each

    • Can be used in all Service Types, but typically for Fixed Price Courses, Exams, Sundries

    • Note that Each has severe limitations.

      • Each based pricing will not work across multiple Price Lists

      • Each based pricing cannot be pro-rated if the Course is shortened or extended 

  • Qty (Each)

    • Duration weeks is used as a Qty multiplier times the Each price

    • Typically used when prices are fixed for a set quantity

    • E.g.

      • 3 Weeks = £1225

      • 4 weeks = £1595

      • 5 weeks = £1650

    • Useful when the price is not wholly divisible by the number of weeks and a per week price is not possible

  • Week

    • Duration based

    • Qty is a multiplier by Week

    • Used for weekly prices when we multiple the number of weeks x the weekly price

    • Typically used in banded ranges of weeks with a weekly price per week

    • E.g.

      • 3 to 5 weeks @ £300.00 per week

      • 6 to 8 weeks @ £290.00 per week

      • 9 to 12 weeks @ £280 per week

      • 13 to 99 weeks @ £270 per week

    • It is possible to combine week and day/night prices in the same price list

    • Weekly banded pricing is the easiest to manage year to year (across pricelists) and offers an easy way of re-pricing weeks across different price lists.

  • Day

    • Duration based

    • Qty is a multiplier by Day

    • Used for daily prices when we multiple the number of days x the daily price

  • Night

    • Duration based

    • Can be used in Accommodation Service Types only

    • Qty is a multiplier by Night

    • Behaves the same as Day but useful for Pricing formatting

    • Used for Weekly Prices when we multiple the number of nights x the daily price

  • Hours

    • Duration based

    • Can be used in Individual Tuition Service Types Only

    • Qty is a multiplier by Hour

    • Used for hourly prices when we multiple the number of hours x the hourly price
