Add New Pricing Rule
The system allows you to add pricing rules for rental units and define day and hour rates based on the selected pricing method. The pricing rule is later linked to a unit type to be used in automatically calculating the value of reservation orders.
Steps to Add a New Pricing Rule
- From the main menu, click on “Rental and Unit Management“.
- Click on “Rental Pricing Rules“.
- Click on the “Add Pricing Rule” button.
- Enter the pricing rule name: a unique name for the pricing rule. (Mandatory)
- Select the pricing method from the list. (Mandatory)
- Days: only the Day Price field appears.
- Hours: only the Hour Price field appears.
- Days & Hours: both the Day Price and Hour Price fields appear.
- Enter the day price if the pricing method is Days or Days & Hours. (Mandatory)
- Enter the hour price if the pricing method is Hours or Days & Hours. (Mandatory)
- Select the currency from the list. (Mandatory)
- Set the status: Active or Inactive. Default: Active. (Mandatory)
Click “Save” to complete the addition, or click “Cancel” to go back without saving.
How the System Works on Save
- The pricing rule is added immediately and appears in the pricing rules list.
- The system automatically redirects to the new pricing rule’s view page.
- The addition is recorded in the general activity log and in the pricing rule’s own activity log.
Validation Rules
- The pricing rule name must be unique and cannot be duplicated. If a duplicate name is entered, the message “This Name Already Exists” will appear.
- All mandatory fields must be filled in before saving. If any mandatory field is left empty, the message “This is a Required Field and Could Not Be Empty” will appear.
- When the pricing method is changed, any previously entered price values are cleared.
- A pricing rule cannot be selected for a unit type if its pricing method does not match the pricing method of that unit type.
