Overview: Package other income items
An other income item generates revenue that is not included in the standard event and guestroom categories. Examples include golf, spa, transportation, parking, restaurant meals, and ski lift tickets. When you build a package in Setup, you can add other income items to the bundle of services being sold. An other income item can be included in the per person package price, or it can be sold as an add-on to the package price.
Prior to adding other income items to a package in Setup, you need to make sure the items have already been created for the property.
The Charge To setting on the New Package Other Income page determines how the other income should be priced and how its quantity is calculated:
- Master - The other income item is rolled into the per person package price. Its quantity is based on the package attendance and cannot be updated at run-time.
- Individual - The other income item is not included in the per person package price. Its quantity needs to be manually entered at run-time to reflect the agreed, expected, guaranteed, and actual numbers needed.
As an example, the Complete Meeting Package includes two other income items: Parking and Golf. Parking is charged to the Master, so its 30.00 price is included in the total per person package price. Golf is an optional add-on to the package, so it is charged to the Individual and is tracked as non-package revenue.
When other income items are added to a booking, they are displayed in the Other Income section. The On a Package check box indicates whether or not the item is included in the per person package price.
Other income revenue
The revenue from other income items is aggregated into the appropriate revenue classifications and is displayed in the following sections on the Booking page:
- Forecasted and Actual Revenue
- Blended Event Revenue
- Package Revenue
The revenue from an other income item will only display on the booking when the Revenue Allocation field is set to S&C on the Other Income page. The S&C option must also be selected for the other income item to appear in merge documents, such as the booking check.
