Create packages

The content of this page is specific to the Delphi product type. If you are using the Delphi Core product type, click here to access the Delphi Core-specific online help.

The details on this page refer to the classic manage package experience. With version R45 or higher, we have a new manage package experience. See the new Packages page for more information.

A package defines the services that are bundled together and sold for a flat daily rate on a per person basis.

The first step in creating a package is to enter its name, availability, and description information. You can also indicate if guestrooms are included in the package price.

To create a package

  1. Open the property where you want to create the package, navigate to the Packages section, and then click New.
  2. Complete the fields on this page, as needed.

    The required fields display a red indicator. These fields need to be complete before you can save the record.

    Field Description
    Information
    Name This is the name of the package as you want it display to users. This needs to be a descriptive name for when you have multiple versions of a package type. For example, your property offers similar packages, one for weekdays and another for weekends. Because each package is priced differently, you want to make sure that your users select the correct one when they detail a booking.
    Display Name While each of your package names needs to be unique, you might want a more generic name to display in customer-facing documents. In the previous example, you do not need to specify 'weekday' or 'weekend' in the Display Name field for each package.
    Abbreviation This is the package abbreviation.
    Start Date and End Date This is the date range the package is available at the property. If you want the package to always be available, leave these fields blank.

    The package is available for bookings with arrival dates within the specified date range. The departure date can be outside of this date range.

    Description This is a rich-text description of the package that details all the services included in the per person package price. Use the formatting toolbar to customize the appearance of this description on customer-facing documents.
    Active When selected, the package is available to users. When cleared, the package is retired and no longer displays in lists.
    Property This is the name of the property that is offering the package.
    Corporate Package Reference If necessary, this is the corporate identifier assigned to the package. Because multiple properties can offer similar packages, with different names, the Corporate Package Reference is used to group those packages together for corporate-level reporting.
    Include Guestrooms in Package Price When this option is selected, the guestroom allocation is included in the package price on the booking check. The guestroom rate displays as included in package.

    When this option is cleared, the guestroom allocation displays in the guestrooms section of the booking check. The package price represents only the event and other income allocations of the package. You can track guestroom revenue outside of the package while still managing the room block attendance as part of the package. Users can override this setting on the Booking Package Detail page if necessary.

    Inclusive When this option is selected, the per person price is inclusive of all charges, based on your configuration.
    Total Event Price Per Person (Calculated)
    Package <Revenue Classification> Price This is the sum of the package event revenue breakdowns by revenue classification. Together, these revenue breakdowns equal the Total Event Price Per Person.
    Total Other Income Price Per Person (Calculated)
    Package <Revenue Classification> Price This is the sum of the package other income item prices by revenue classification. Together, these prices equal the Total Other Income Price Per Person.
