Overview
A "From-Price" associated with a template, when available, constitutes important pricing information for any travel and particularly for more cost-sensitive travellers. A "From-Price" is a reference price with the lowest value within a pre-defined period (e.g. a pricing season). When defined and available, it is presented in (i) Discovery Overview, (ii) Discovery Details and (iii) Discovery API.
A "From-Price" is always associated with a template and can be generated/updated manually or automatically. For example, after updating seasons and prices for inventory products, the "From-Prices" of the template should be regenerated as soon as possible to avoid a mismatch between the new pricing and the previous "From-Price".
Manual Update
For triggering a manual update on a template "From-Price", perform these steps:
1. Go to TripBuilder Cockpit
2. Click on Inventory
3. Click on Itinerary Templates under Package Builder
4. Select the intended template
5. If the template is not in Draft mode, click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and then select Checkout & Open
6. Click on the Miscellaneous tab
7. Scroll down until you reach the From-Prices area. Click on the Regenerate button to update "From-Prices"
Please note: A "From-Price" refresh action is a data and computation-intensive task. Running in the background, the results can take up to 10 minutes to be available. |
8. Once generated and available, the reference "From-Price" is presented in the Miscellaneous tab. While in the most common use case, a single "From-Price" is associated with the template, for group tours with different categories defined, multiple from prices (one per category) are presented as in the example below
9. Click on the Save button
10. Click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and then select Publish
Important: Defining a "From-Price" by directly entering a price without using the Regenerate button is possible, but almost sure it will create a mismatch as different levels of configuration (e.g. markups, yielding price adjustments) may not be perceived and considered in the manual calculation. Further, a Regenerate action or an automatic update (next section) will overwrite any manual value previously defined. |
Automatic Update
Important: The feature of automatically updating from-prices on templates is currently unavailable. Please follow TripBuilder's latest news on Release Notes for future information on the feature. |
