Creating Aggregate Volume Discounts for Sleeping Rooms and Suites

Siebel Hospitality provides you with the ability to create aggregate volume discounts for sleeping rooms when necessary. A sleeping room aggregate volume discount is a volume discount that applies to all types of sleeping rooms at a particular property. For example, there may be three different types of sleeping rooms (single room, double room, penthouse suite) at a particular property. A customer may decide to book 10 rooms of each type. So in total the customer may have booked thirty rooms. You may wish to give the customer an aggregate discount for all 30 rooms instead of giving a separate discount for each room type.

Before you carry out this procedure, you must create a volume discount, as described in Creating Volume Discounts, and you must add line items to the volume discount, as described in Adding Volume Discount Line Items.
