How to Set Sales Conditions

Sales conditions are constraints that apply to the bookings, such as stay restrictions or specific policies.

A summary of the group details is displayed at the top of the screen so you can see the basic group information while you set the sales conditions.

You must define at least one policy in order to sell the group. Policies determine how a reservation is secured prior to check-in and what compensation is requested if the guest does not fulfil the reservation conditions.

You can select different time periods: core, shoulder before, or shoulder after, or you can create your own time period.

The appearance of this screen varies according to whether you created a standalone rate plan for the group or used an inherited rate plan template. If the rate plan was inherited, the sales conditions are either locked or unlocked.

There are three types of sales conditions you can create: policies, booking restrictions, and promotions.

In this step, you can associate sales conditions to the group. If you come back to this step later, you can modify, duplicate, delete or add new sales conditions.

Note: You can create a rate plan for the group without adding any sales conditions. However, if you want to make the rate plan sellable, you must define at least one sales condition policy.

The sales conditions are inherited from the rate plan template and are locked. The list of sales conditions appears as read-only and is automatically applied to your group rate plan.
