The Configuration tab allows you to set configuration details such as availability periods.

•When creating a service, you must specify the service name, code, category and type.

•You must indicate how the service will be priced when it is used in a booking and whether or not guests can reserve the service.

•You can also indicate whether or not you want the service to appear in the descriptive content for the property.

Note:      You cannot change this setting after the service is created.

You set the default rate for a service in the Rate Plans module, where you can also link the service to a rate plan.

Availability Periods

Optionally, you can add multiple availability periods to a service. The service will only be available for bookings during these periods.

The fields in the Description tab allow you to set the detailed description information for the service.

You can modify the information as required.

Multilingual Descriptions per Channel per Period

You can add one or more service descriptions in different languages, which can be available to one or more distribution channels.

Note:     The languages available depend on the way in which the property has been configured.

The amount of text you can enter for a multilingual description depends on the restrictions of the channel.

Although you can enter multilingual descriptions, certain channels may only support descriptions in English. Therefore, you must at least enter content in English in order to minimise any distribution issues. Enter descriptions in the following order:

1.English

2.The default property language

3.Other languages

The Mappings tab allows you define the distributed code for services that applies to each distribution channel.

The Amadeus GDS automatically recognises the standard three-letter Amadeus GDS service codes: BRK for Breakfast, for example. You can add or delete other mappings as required.
