Creating a New Facility Product

This section details how to set up a room reservation product. These are parent-level products and can stand-alone. The other product types (as well as food service products and other requirements products) must be tied to room reservations.

 

Every facility reservation order has to have a room reservation product. This will always be a master product. We recommend that the parent product of the room reservation be defined as a code that represents the facility itself.

 

This product is different than the TIMSS6 room reservation product in that you are not required to link a facility or room to the room reservation product. You will just choose the facility and the room when making the reservation.

 

Typically, an organization is only going to need to define only one room reservation product unless the organization wants to use different general ledger (GL) accounts for different rooms, or unless they want to use different pricing for different rooms.

 

To set up a room reservation product:

1.    Define the general product.

2.    Define rates and pricing.

3.    Define GL accounts.

4.    Define Revenue accounts.

5.    Define cancellation fees (optional).

6.    Define components (optional).

7.    Define the product manager’s email address.

8.    Validate setup.
