Tour | Booking Settings - Charges/Discounts
Charges/Discount settings are found in Main Menu | Admin Settings | Tour|Booking | Charges|Discount
Various standard costs and discounts can be created and used in any Masters, to flow through to Departures/Tours and Bookings. This cost then becomes a default for this type of trip, but it can be changed at Departure/Tour level, and at Booking level too.
Cost Options
The primary use of these settings is to determine the default values that will be pre-entered when this Cost is applied to a 'Trip' master record. The general ledger codes should match those used in your accounting software.
Note: that any changes made on the 'Trip' Cost record, will then be used for the subsequent created 'Departures', rather than these defaults.

Sort order: Enter a number here to determine what order this item will have in your drop down list of charges/discounts
Charge Type: Specify whether this cost will be charged individually to each client, or if its a cost to be shared equally among a group
