Using max deviation
- Erica van Willegen
Pushing last minute gaps in order to make sure that the planning chart will be fully booked is something all clients are aiming for. Especially when the rentability conditions are set up in a strict manner the conditions can be made more flexible for last minute arrivals.
The max deviation setting within the rentability (set) can be used to achieve this goal. By creating rentability which is allows more conditions close on arrival, the minimum stay, arrival/departure days can be allowed in a more flexible way.
How to set up the max deviation in rentability?
Adding a max deviation in rentability rules.
- Update a rentability rule/rentability set and add the number of days between book date & arrival date for which the rule should be valid.
Example of how this would work.
Suppose the following rentability is valid for accommodation type Pitch:
If todays date is Oct 14th, and a user would book with an arrival < 7 days, this will be possible.
Also a minimum stay of 1 night instead of the 2 nights, is valid.
Things to remember
- It is optional to add a min/max gap in a rentability rule. Not every rentability rule is required to have a min/max gap value.
- Gap can be added per rentability rule or in bulk(only when creating new rentability)
- The arrival date of the booking considers the arrival date corresponding gap rule defined in rentability
- The departure date of the booking considers the departure date corresponding gap rule defined in rentability
