Sometimes the customer books one or two hotels and you book the rest. Localflow can leave a stay out of your cost, but today you cannot do this from a normal hotel row in Costing. We are fixing this.
Today the normal hotel rows in Costing have no “booked by the customer” choice. The box exists, but only on some stays (see below).

​
What works today

​
Before the route is made: the brief

If the enquiry says the customer already booked a hotel, record it in the brief.
1

Add the brief card

In the brief, use the Already booked card for the hotel.
2

Apply it to the route

The route gets a fixed overnight card called Booked by the traveller: and the hotel name.
3

Check Costing

Those nights have no hotel line in your cost.
The commitments list shows these under Hotels already booked.

​
For an extra stay

A stay you add by hand opens a line editor under its row. This includes stays added with + Room for the arrival night or + Another stay here. In the Stay part of that editor, tick Booked by the customer, not in your cost.

​
Every hotel

If the customer books all the hotels, untick We book the hotels. See The customer books all the hotels.

​
What is coming

A Customer books this choice on each hotel row, with a way to apply it to some nights of a stay.
