Introduction

The configuration of the TourCode Table that allows the application of discounts to the published rates is described.



Description

Tour Codes for Host offices and / or Agencies will be published in this table.

For each Tour Code discounts, specific ticket designators, specify office, sales channel may be applied (in case no data is entered, it will be applied to both: HA, dates of application (From-To).

Discounts can also be applied to the booking class / s (up to 10 classes can be detailed), to specific flights (also by numbering range of flights or for all when specifying ALL), to specific route (for all when specifying ALL, both for origin as for destination), and date of the itinerary

In case the same Tour Code has different discounts, the system will apply the most restrictive, that is, the one with the lowest discount (applies to itineraries with more than one coupon)

In the event that a segment does not apply to any Tour Code, no discount will be applied to the entire itinerary.



Considerations

This functionality is integrated for broadcasts from KIU Host, KIU GDS (agencies), and the new IBE version (e-commerce). It does not apply to other systems’ distribution.

The Tour Code Manager (TCM) indicator must be activated in the corresponding JJETKT table / s so that the Tour Codes of the TCODE / * table are applicable and controlled in the listing and issuance

If the same Tour Code applies different discounts for different classes and the itinerary contains the different classes, the discount that will be applied will be the most restrictive on all the segments that apply discount.

If a Tour Code applies to only part of the listed itinerary, no discount will apply. Segments should be quoted and issued individually.
