When a number[many/group] of add-ons is offered together with Accommodation as a complete one package then we call them 'Offer with Add-on'[package/Compositions with Accommodation]. Using an 'Offer with Add-on', you can combine two or more add-ons together and offer them as one package where guests/customers will be able to book one package item to avail of all add-ons which are a part of the package.


Example:- Exceptional unpacking[Offer with Add-on](Package Name)

1→Local Tax

2→Reservation Charges

(Above Add-ons are included in our Offer with Add-on)

In this example, if guests book an Offer with add-ons (Exceptional unpacking) then local tax and Reservation charges are included in that Package.

they don't have to pay an extra amount for the tax and reservation charges because it comes under that package amount[rate/price].

C. Adding specific rates for Package items (Offer With add-ons)

  • You can define Individual rates (Resource base, per subject base, base price, etc) for the package items linked to the add-on package.
  • Let's take one Example for Package Rates, We have the package "Exceptional unpacking" which consists of package items: "Local Tax", "Reservation Charges", and "Deposit". When the guests book the "Exceptional unpacking" then they have to pay certain charges for the complete package. (For package and add-ons one amount)

   

  • Also, we have the option to Add Corresponding Rentability as respective to our Rates.
  • However, the linked package items can have a rate as well which can be marked as "included" (by "Will the items be charged to guests" marking as No).

 

  • You can add Per stay/length rates and min and max deviation also add with the selection of that options in Rates
  • In this example, let's assume, "Local Tax", "Reservation Charges", and "Deposit" are included as a part of the package. However, you still have the option to define internal rates for these package items for financial distribution on a ledger (only for internal financial purposes)
  • Enable the setting "Specific rate for the linked package items (add-on)". Click on "Create rate" to add rates for package items
  • Click on "Create" to create the rate

 

In these Two Types Of rates, you can configure a Fixed Rate and a Rate per Subject [Subject Base package/offer not working now ticket:- MXTS-21975 - Getting issue details... STATUS ]

  • This rate for the items marked as "Included", will not be reflected on the bill to guests for items "Local Tax", "Reservation Charges", and "Deposit"
  • However, if you would like to charge "Local Tax", "Reservation Charges", and "Deposit" to the guests, then you can also set up this rate for the package items and mark the setting "Will the items be charged to guests" as Yes. Then you can add the rate of, for example, 10,- per person for the packaged items "Local Tax", "Reservation Charges", and "Deposit"  which you linked and this will be charged to the guests on the bill. (Package Item/ Add-ons Rates not working now we already reported the same issue with the team ticket:- MXTS-32377 - Getting issue details... STATUS )
  • The Accommodation Prices of Type are in the internal bill and the Package with Accommodation Prices shows on the main bill with add-ons.

D. Adding Add-on package rate

  • You can create a rate for the complete add-on package (for the group of add-ons). For example, the Exceptional unpacking as stated above can have one rate linked to the complete package "Exceptional unpacking package", let's say 199, This rate can be configured at the add-on package main Rates section. 
  • Simply navigate to the 'Rates' section of the add-on package
  • Click on 'Create rate' to create a fixed rate or rate per subject.
  • This Type of Rates directly Length base or Subject base you can configure means for different resources or different stay the charges are different,
