Bike


At Tour level, this is a SUMMARY view, which will show you what Bike assignments have been allocated to the clients in the Booking area. 


When a new client is added to a Tour / Departure (or even when an Tour / Departure is created with numbers of PAX) , the "included" bike from the Master will be added to the Client's Resource | Bike details, and summarised here at Tour level.


Plus, it will create all of the Bike Hire day records AND if it's been defined on the Master, it will also create the Pre & Post day bike records (which are not shown to the user - unless they use the Inventory Module)... 


Tour level Bike Resources - this is a Summary view of booking level selections


  • Clicking on the individual client name listed, will take you to the Client's booking to enable changes to be made.



  • If there is an alert on the Tour /Departure | Resources tab, this is to indicate that some information is missing at the booking/client level, e.g. a booking doesn't have a bike selection made, or the number of hire days populated

  • These alerts can be resolved by clicking once on the client’s name to update their booking.
  • Once the appropriate selections have been completed, the alert will disappear.
