Bundles #

It is now possible to sell products when arriving a booking with a Siupplementary attached.

The process is controlled by extra parameters that are defined in the supplent.tab system table.

These are as follows:

Product – This defines the product code used to sell the item normally. If the item is a sundry then this will be the sundry description

ProdType – This is either a P for stock items or an S for sundry items

ProdSys – This is the integ id of the system that will finally issue the product.

If the ProdSys variable is not defined or equates to the local integ id then the product will be sold on the same transaction as the supplementary.

If the ProdSys is different, then the Supplementary Activity will be sold and an entry added in the Allowances file detailing an Allowance Code and the price of the activity.

In the redeeming system, a sundry will need to be setup with a control type of Allowances.

This, when sold, will allow the user to select the correct allowance using the allowance code that was shown on the issuing receipt.

When selected the product defined in the Product variable will be sold and a discount added to the value of the original issuing Activity.

This is shown on the receipt as and Allowance.

Clearly, if the activity and product values equate then the customer pays nothing.

It would be possible to have a priced Activity and a Zero Priced product, in which case the system would create a refund that could be used against any subsequent product sold.

Allowances always expire on the day they are issued

By being able to sell supplementaries it is possible to issue range pin numbers from a booking.

As this process only happens when a booking is arrived it should not be used in systems where the Charge Deposit flag is set and can be used on internet bookings.

Example configurations:

Activity=BUNDL_01&Group=18 Holes&Prompt=U&Open=N&Include=Y&Display=N&Product=Small+Basket&ProdType=S&

When the supplementary group in the activity = 18 holes:

• apply the supplementary activity BUNDL01
• un-prompted
• date and amounts are not open
• included in the price
• not displayed on the receipt
• Product = Description of Sundry
• Product Type = Sundry

Activity=BUNDL_02&Group=18 Holes&Prompt=U&Open=N&Include=Y&Display=N&Product=01005&ProdType=P&ProdSys=F&

When the supplementary group in the activity = 18 holes:

• apply the supplementary activity BUNDL_02
• un-prompted
• date and amounts are not open
• included in the price
• not displayed on the receipt
• Product = PLU code of item to be sold
• Product Type = Product
• Product system = F (Food & Beverage System)

This will need a sundry in the F&B system set up to redeem allowance given by the system selling the bundle.

Activity=BUNDL_03&Group=18 Holes&Prompt=U&Open=N&Include=Y&Display=N&Product=01005&ProdType=P&ProdSys=F&

When the supplementary group in the activity = 18 holes:

• apply the supplementary activity BUNDL_03
• un-prompted
• date and amounts are not open
• included in the price
• not displayed on the receipt
• Product = PLU code of item to be sold
• Product Type = Product
• Product system = F (Food & Beverage System)
