V1.12.6
30th May
2007 |
New: Added in Peak Charging facility -
Petadmin now supports two sets of rates - 'standard rates' and 'peak
rates' . For Peak charging, added in new right-click on
availability/graph to set or unset a range of dates for closed/holiday
or to mark the day or days as 'peak' day(s). Also for peak charging changed System Setup->Rates
Tab to allow
entering of peak rates as well as standard rates via new drop-down
option on the Rates Tab. Also added new <ii_peak> token in MS Word
facility on Invoice Items table - this will be 'P' if peak rates used,
and blank if standard rates used, so on invoice items you may see the
same line item duplicated, except that one line is peak rate and the
other standard rate.
Peak Rates Explained : In System Setup/Rates Tab you can not
only define a standard (normal) set of rates, but you can now defined
a second set of rates which is called 'Peak Rates'. These peak
rates are used instead of the standard rates where a day in the
Availability calendar is marked as a 'Peak' day. To set Peak days in the
calendar, in Availability view (graph NOT column) right click on a day
row to display a pop-up menu and then set a day (or range of days) as
being peak. Keep doing this throughout the calendar on a year by year
basis (normally do this a couple of years ahead to cater for advance
bookings). Then when a booking is taken and the day is marked as a
peak day the peak rate is used for that day/service combination
instead of the 'standard' rate for that day. This allow you to have a
high-season charge and a low-season charge and Petadmin will handle
the amounts automatically for you.New: Added export
facility for Quickbooks version 2006 on the File Menu->Export screen
