Creating Pricing Intervals for a Property-Specific Product

You can create new pricing intervals for products, and remove products from being sold during specified times, by creating additional pricing intervals.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Menus and Packages.

To create a pricing interval for a property-specific product

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
2. Identify the property at which you want to create a new pricing interval for a product, and drill down on the property's Name field.
3. Depending on the type of product for which you want to create a new pricing interval, perform one of the steps in the table that follows.

   For this product type:	Click this view tab:
   Event order item	Event Order/Menu Items
   Menu item	Event Order/Menu Items
   Menu	Menus
   Package	Packages

4. Select the product for which you want to create a new pricing interval.
5. Click the Price subview tab.
6. Select the price list item for which you want to create a new price interval, and click New Pricing Interval.

   Siebel Hospitality creates a duplicate of the selected record, with all fields filled from the original record except for List Price, Start Date, and End Date.

7. In the List Price field, enter a price to be effective during the new time interval.
8. Enter dates in the Start Date and End Date fields.

   Note the following characteristics of the resulting records:

   • The Start Date of the new price interval record defaults to the date and time when that record was created.
   • Siebel Hospitality does not allow price records with overlapping time intervals. Make sure the time interval covered by the Start Date and End Date you specify does not overlap the time interval covered by the Start Date and End Date of any other price records.
   • If the previous price record does not have an End Date, when you save the new price interval record, the Start Date of the new price interval record becomes the End Date of the previous price record.

NOTE:  To remove a product from sale for a specific time interval, create pricing interval records for a product that leave that time interval uncovered. For example, to remove a product from sale from January 11, 2009 through February 11, 2009, and then put it on sale again, enter a value of 1/11/2009 12:00:00 AM as the End Date of the original record and a value of 2/12/2009 12:00:00 AM as the Start Date of the new pricing interval record.
