Reviewing Room Block Discounts

Discounts can be applied to room blocks and line items through volume discounts, a matrix series, or by manually applying a discount to a function line item. For more information about volume discounts and matrix series, see Administering Discount Pricing. You can view the discount amount for each individual room block line item and also the total discount for the room block through the Quotes screen, Room Blocks view. When you have viewed the discounts applied to a function and the line items of that function, you can decide whether or not the discount is appropriate. If you want to manually override all prices and apply a manual discount price, see Applying a Negotiated or Discount Price to Line Items.
