GDS Tax/Fee Types
The GDS Tax/Fee Types screen, available when the OPG_TPR Opera GDS Total Pricing license code is active, allows travel agents to specify new pricing qualifiers, such as tax and service charges, to provide a more detailed breakdown of the various charges that apply to the rate(s) that are returned from Opera.
Important: While the OPG_TPR allows users to configure the total pricing functionality, no information will be transmitted to the GDS unless the GDS Total Pricing OEDS Group application parameter is set to "Y".
This allows Opera to communicate which search qualifiers are applied to the rate(s) returned in an availability request, and allows Opera to specify a "total room/rate price," inclusive of all known taxes, fees, service charges, and any additional charges deemed valuable by the resort.
Note: All GDSs have defined various levels of support for total pricing.
