Creating Aggregate Volume Discounts for Sleeping Rooms and Suites

A sleeping room aggregate volume discount is a volume discount that applies to all types of sleeping rooms at a specific property. Siebel Hospitality allows you to create aggregate volume discounts for sleeping rooms.

For example, a property has three different types of sleeping rooms (single room, double room, and penthouse suite). A customer books 10 rooms of each type, which means the customer books a total of 30 rooms. Instead of giving a separate discount for each room type, you can give the customer one aggregate discount for all 30 rooms.

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