...

Current behavior : The system will update the existing price rule with new values and the other existing rules that have overlapping conditions shall be split accordingly. Blocking of other existing rules will never happen. This option is actually used to replace the values in existing rules. The splitting happens only in cases like your existing price rule had a stay period of 1 jan to 30 Mar but while using the updating option you have requested to update a period of only 15 Jan to 30 Jan....

Expected behavior: the requirement is somewhat a combination of add and update feature that we currently have.

...

In such a case rentability generated cannot be combined as the arrival weekdays are different and could result in wrong end markers.

Impact: Some of the price rules are not considered in price indexing. Nilesh is already checking it. Rentability marker cache is skipping some rules.

Linking of accommodation types to offer (Additions): We are using the same logic as that for rentability auto generation to decide the stay dates selected while linking the accommodations to offer.

Bugs: Multiple price comparison options shown with partial periods even when the price rules are applicable for complete stay. Also blocking an accommodation type for offer gets uneasy for the user due to multiple rules for the same accommodation.

Expected behavior: Duplicate records from price comparison should be eliminated and offer should be applicable for complete stay if required conditions like prices etc are satisfied.

Possible solution : We will be revising the logic for auto linking accommodation types to offer. There will be only one record for each accommodation type linked to the offer without any kind of dates mentioned. We have already tested this and the above issues are solved.

Issues

Area

Impact

  •  When using Offer import, the system is never blocking rentability and only adding new rule of rentability which can be an issue

  •  When adding additions, the additions are never added or removed, which can create a huge issue

  •  Indexing issue

  •  Extension of stay - Feature flag
