Locations are the second main entity in the system. A location can be a resort, a geographical entity or a sublevel to create a hierarchy. Accommodations are grouped in a location.
Typical resort structure (example):
Toplevel
---resort A
---resort B
Typical ' serviced apartments' structure (example)
Toplevel
---Amsterdam
---Rotterdam
Configurations which are common to do on a top-level and can be used for all sub-levels:
- subjects (which travel company categories can be booked)
- commissions
- cancellation extra's
- add ons for accounting purposes
Business scenarios where the user needs a location:
- as a filter for check-in
- as a filter for housekeeping planning and maintenance
- in case of using the tax module and different tax rates
