Property Manager functions - Advanced Mode

From Jomres v4 manual

Advanced mode allows you to precisely control certain aspects of your tariffs. For example you can ensure that a tariff is only available over a given weekend period by setting the valid from/to dates and the option "Weekends only" to Yes. If you do that, then the tariff will only be available if a booking's particulars fall within a certain set of parameters (eg min and max days could be 2-3 days) so you can ensure that bookings for that period have to be of a certain length.

Another feature of advanced editing mode is the Ignore PPPN option. It is possible to use this option so that a hotel that normally charges per person per night can offer, for example, family rooms that are not charged per head, but per room.

The only disadvantage of Advanced mode is that if you want to use the Average tariff model and you want to have several tariffs for the same room type over the same period then you must use the Micromanage mode, which doesn't offer special features like "Ignore PPPN" or "Weekends only".

Recently added features in Advanced tariff editing mode are :

Arrival Day of week. Using this you can specify that the room tariff combination for this tariff is only shown when the arrival day of the week in the booking form is X day. Min rooms already selected. Minimum number of rooms already selected in booking before tariff/room type combo can be offered. Allows you to have discounted tariffs when more than N rooms are already selected. Max rooms already selected. Maximum number of rooms already selected in booking before tariff/room combo is no longer offered. Allows you to stop offering this room type/tariff combination once N rooms have been selected in the booking form.

Hint: If you know you want to configure your property using the Advanced mode but have a lot of rooms, you should start by using the Normal mode to create your rooms first, then switch to Advanced mode to create more complex tariffs.
