      4. Per Child (item price multiplied by the number of children): With the selection of this calculation rule and when the Rates Defined by Buckets OPERA Controls is active, packages can be set up with different amounts per child bucket on the Package Pricing.

      5. Per Room: The Per Room calculation is applied to the room. If a reservation is shared, instead of applying the package per share reservation, it posts only once for the room.

   5. Posting Rhythm: Select a posting rhythm to determine the frequency of the package posting. Most posting rhythms are based off of the actual arrival date of the reservation. For more information, see Package Posting Rhythms.

   6. Formula:Select from the list of internal functions used to calculate the item price (these functions are typically used for calculating territory or region-specific taxes).

   7. Sell Separate: Select the checkbox to allow the package item to be selected directly in a reservation using packages panel. When selling and adding a package directly to a reservation, the rate code rate amount is displayed in Stay Details along with the adjusted room rate including the packages. If this checkbox is not selected, the package is only available for selection as a rate code inclusion . (Available when the Packages Sold Separately OPERA Control is active).

   8. Post Next Day: Select to specify this package element allowance will be consumed the following day. For example, a breakfast allowance created during end of day, but carried forward to the following day for consumption. (Available when the Advanced Packages OPERA Control is active.)

   9. Forecast Next Day: Select to have these package elements forecasted on the next day, irrespective if the Post Next Day checkbox is selected or not.

A Ticket Package can be set up to Sell Separate and Add Rate Separate Line, even when the Posting Rhythm is not set to Ticket Posting. This enables the ticket package to be included in the Rate Information as part of the total cost of the stay.

   11. Catering: Available when the Catering Events OPERA Control is active, this option should be checked for all PMS packages that typically are also represented by a catering event (or partially represented by a catering event), for example, a Group Breakfast that could be included in the room rate, but for which also a catering event gets created if the group takes the breakfast as a unit (such as in a catering function space).
