Why?

Because flexibility is essential! :chart_with_upwards_trend:

In travel trade, we face multiple challenges in different markets due to currency fluctuations, aggressive competition and diverse business environments and strategies.

What?

We open a new possibility to our Distribution partners: load negative business rules that may create a selling price lower than purchasing price.

By default, in order to prevent manual mistakes, our system does not allow you to sell under purchasing price, even if you have loaded one or more business rules combined generating a negative markup. This new option needs to be activated by Agency so that you can activate and apply negative business rules only to certain clients.

How?

In order to use our new feature, you need to follow these indications:

Select the agency to activate this option and click in Rules-Configuration.

Once you open this set up screen, you will see the new option in the Pricing module:
