Summary
The following article explains how to create a hire price rate in the Booking and Hire module.
More Information
A price rate is a defined period of time that is used to calculate the price for booking a hire item. The period of time can be any length but common examples of price rates are 'Day', '2 Days' & 'Week'. When a customer booking is made, multiple price rates can be added together to calculate the final booking price.
Creating a Price Rate
- Go to " Booking and Hire Maintenance Options Hire Price Maintenance Add or Edit Price Rates".
- Press the <F6> or the [Add] button.
- At "Hire price rate:", enter a unique 3 character code for the price rate.
- At "Description:", enter a description of the rate. It is recommended that you keep these descriptions as short as possible. e.g. 'Day' or 'Week'.
- Move to the "Settings" tab.
Rates With a Specified Start
Some price rates have a specific start time associated with them.
 | Weekend: A business might offer a weekend rate that starts on a Friday |
- At "Specific time?", choose 'Yes'.
- At "Start:":
- Choose the day of the week on which the price rate starts.
- Enter the time at which the price rate starts.
- At "End:":
- Choose the day of the week on which the price rate ends.
- Enter the time at which the price rate ends.
Rates Without a Specified Start
As expected, rates that do not have a specified start can start at any time.
- At "Specific time?", choose 'No'.
- At "Eligible period?", choose whether or not there is an eligible period before this rate can be used.
- At "Weeks:", enter the number of weeks in the rate's period of time.
- At "Days:", enter the number of days in the rate's period of time.
- At "Hours:", enter the number of hours in the rate's period of time.
- At "Minutes:", enter the number of minutes in the rate's period of time.
Eligible Periods
Rates without a specified start date can have an "Eligible period". Eligible periods are used on rates that only become eligible if the booking period is longer than a specified period of time.
| Extra Day: A business might offer an extra day rate which is cheaper than the usual day rate on bookings that are longer than a week. |
If you want to add an eligibility period to the rate:
- At "Eligible period?", choose 'Yes'.
- At "Weeks:", enter the number of weeks that are required in the booking for the rate to be eligible.
- At "Days:", enter the number of days that are required in the booking for the rate to be eligible.
- At "Hours:", enter the number of hours that are required in the booking for the rate to be eligible.
- At "Minutes:", enter the number of minutes that are required in the booking for the rate to be eligible.
Accepting the Price Rate
- Once you have finished, press [Done] and [Accept] the changes.
