Greetings!

Another rate that can be entered into Lodgical is the package rates.   Packages can be set up for any number of reasons.
 
In order to set up packages, you will have to go to Utilities, Configuration, Rates, Packages.
Set Up
 
From the main setup screen, you are able to add new packages, edit existing ones, or view all packages.

Main Package Window

First, you will have to choose one of three options:  Edit Package, Add a New Package, or View Packages.

Package Options

If you choose to edit a package, you will have to double click on the package name in the list box.  If you choose to add a new package, you will be brought to a similar window.

Add/Edit Packages

After typing in your identifying package name, you have to choose which unit type this package should be available in.  By clicking on the drop down menu, you will see the options to choose all unit types or one of your unit types.  You then can specify what occupancy this is based on.  If you choose not to enter additional nights rate, please note that whether you book a room for one night or five nights, Lodgical will apply the same package rate.
 
By including the items in a package, Lodgical will apply the correct taxes to your room and to the other charges.  If you provide a service to another business, be sure to discuss with them who will be paying the sales tax.  Once you reach an agreement, you can select the tax status of your items accordingly.  We suggest not assuming that your partnering company is paying the taxes.  Below the list of included items, you may also type in a description to further identify and promote your packages.
 
You may also choose to View Packages from the setup package window.  You will see what looks like a report that details your packages.

View Packages

Applying to a Reservation
 
When choosing your rates, click on Package Price. 

Select Rate Window

You will then be presented with the option to fill in a package price or choose from a defined package.

Select Package

By choosing a defined package (by double clicking), you will see the package details.

Defined Package Details

Report
 
Found under Financials, Packages, you can run this report to see how many reservations have been booked with a particular package.

Report Window


By viewing this report, you are able to see possible funds that you owe to partnering businesses.  For example, if you have included in a package a meal at a local restaurant, you are able to see what funds need to be sent to them.
