Package Posting Rhythms

The Package Posting Rhythms can be configured from Create a New Package Code -Posting Attributes.

In the Posting Rhythms drop down list, the default selection is Post Every Night. You may make another posting rhythm choice by selecting a different option button. Some of the selections may open up fields for you to define particular features for that posting rhythm.

Table 12-5 Description of the Restrictions effecting the stay dates

Posting Rhythm Choice	Description
Post Every Night	Post this package charge every night of the stay.
Post on Arrival Night	Post this package charge only on arrival night. When a package that has this posting rhythm configured is attached to a reservation and a begin date is specified to be different than the arrival date, the user will be prompted with a message that states, "The package does not have posting rhythm which falls in the date range selected" and the package will not be attached to the reservation.
Post on Every X Nights Starting Night Y	Post this package charge every X nights, beginning the Y night of stay. You are prompted to enter the start night (e.g., night 1, night 2, night 3, etc.) and how often the posting should be repeated.
Post on Certain Nights of the Week	You are prompted to check mark the days of the week to determine the days to post this package charge.
Post on Last Night	Post this package charge on the last night of the stay only.
Post Every Night Except Arrival Night	Post this package charge on all nights of the stay except the arrival night.
Post Every Night Except Last	Post this package charge on all nights of the stay except the last night.
Do not Post on First and Last Night	Post this package charge on all nights of the stay except the first and last nights of the stay.
Custom Posting Schedule (Based on Stay)	This user defined schedule lets you enter a posting rhythm over a 14-day period, starting with the arrival date, by assigning the day (number) within a guest stay for posting this package price. For example, if you check mark boxes 3, 5, and 7, OPERA will post on the third, fifth and seventh day of the stay and will repeat this posting schedule after the 14th day through the remainder of the stay.
Custom Posting Schedule (Based on Night)	This user defined schedule lets you enter a posting rhythm over a 14 day period. The start and end of the posting period is determined as follows: If the package is attached to a rate code: The period starts with the date when the rate code to which the package is attached becomes effective for the stay. The period ends with the date of the last night for that rate code (or the last night of the stay if the rate code remains in effect until the departure date). If the package is attached separately to the reservation: The Begin Date specified on the reservation when the package was attached is the start date for the period. The End Date specified on the reservation when the package was attached is the end date for the period. If no Begin Date and/or End Date are specified when the package is attached to the reservation, the Begin Date is assumed to be the arrival date and the End Date is assumed to be the departure date of the reservation, irrespective of when the package is attached to the reservation.
Floating Allowance per Stay	Allow the allowance to be consumed at anytime during the guest stay.
