Setup the Comp (Complementary) Discount Code (Cloud)
The only way to apply a complementary rate ($0.00) is to setup a "Comp" discount.
Path: Management > Rates > Discounts > Setup
1. Click Add New Discount Code. That will create a new empty line in the first row.
2. Choose a Code and a Description. The code is limited to 12 characters, the description to 30:
- Disc Code: COMP.
- Description: Complementary Code/Free room/etc.
3. Select "%" as the discount type and enter "100%" as the percentage amount in the "Disc %" field.
4. Select if the discount code can be applied on weekdays, week-ends, or both.
5. If Tier Rates are setup, select if the discount code can only be applicable up to a specific tier or whatever tier rate.
6. Select the accounting code the discount code will be reconciled under. COMP (Complementary) is the default code for this discount.
7. Post Sep (seperately) will display (YES) or not (NO) the discount code on a folio.
8. Select "Yes" in Show Avail (Available) if the code is to be used locally and needs to show in the discount code dropdown in a reservation. Choose No if the code is only for online bookings. This will avoid having too many codes to scroll over when trying to find a discount code while creating a reservation.
9. The "Order" is the order the discount codes will be sorted in the reservation dropdown.
10. Select "Yes" to "Rate Private" if the discount code rate is meant to be Private.
Reminder: Private means that the rate will not show on the Reg Card but it will still show on the Folio.
11. Click Save.
