Program Operation:

Enter or change to Tour Header Information fields.

The default rate and type should be set to the typical hotel rate and type for this type of tour.

The default PMC cutoff usually will be set to 0 to allow you to select the PMC cutoff for each land item. If the PMC cutoff is set to a non-zero number, ALL the land items will have the default cutoff unless the cutoff is manually set in FIT land entry.

If you answer Yes to the ACK? question, the acknowledgement days in hotel and land detail entry will default to ten days if they are not taken from inventory. A No answer will default the acknowledgement days to zero. Remember, this field does NOT affect detail copied from a tour header.

Remember to enter the correct initial tour status field. This will be the initial booking status for all bookings and the initial tour status for non-series tours. The valid status codes are as follows:
