Contracts

Introduction

A contract in hoteliga corresponds to a real, physical contract that you have signed with a "classic" booking agency, or an OTA (channel).

A contract is connecting a booking agency and a price list for a certain period. In this way, you can have multiple contracts for the same booking agency, but for different period.

Note: You cannot have overlapping contracts unless they correspond to different channel connections.

Contract prerequisites

The prerequisites to create a new contract are:

A price list

You need to have a price list that will be connected to the new contract. If you don't have one, you can create a New price list.

A customer

You need to create a new customer in the name of the agency.

An agency

You need to have an agency. See more info in Booking agency Setup

Create a new contract

Once all these are complete you go to Options > Settings > Booking agencies > Contracts and select New Contract.

There you fill in the required information. A Title, the Agency you have created in the previous step, a Channel(in case you have a Channel Manager and the contract is for a connection with a channel), the Validity (from - to), the Price list you would like to associate with the specific contract, the Room Types and you click Save.

Notes: 1. If all room types are to be included in the contract, you don't have to choose them all; no selection includes all room types by default. 2. You don't need to create separate agencies for different price lists, just create multiple contracts for the same agency.
