Line 6 Show and store zero prices


If that line is flagged, a price table with a zero price will appear. The service line is turned green.

If the flag is off, this price line will not show.

Business cases: If a touroperator deals with flexible prices it makes sense to overwrite this zero price manual. It is also an alternative to set up a booking code and use it as other free service.
Advantage: All relevant data (product type, cost type, etc.) could set in the price table. The green line shows the user, that this price line has to be amended.
Setting in Genesis is required for turn green line

In DaVinci is a differentiation between departure of booking date and departure of service.

This entry is close related to Line 7. Departure of booking is the earliest departure date of a service within the booking.

With the flag in the settings it could be regulated if that date should be calculated from the booking departure date or from service departure dates.

Rate is 2.0000
