Booking Notes

This is the fourth of six tasks described in this user manual for changing booking or quote details.

NOTE: The numbering is simply for reference - there is no particular order in which tasks need to be completed and, depending on the Booking, they might not all be needed.

The full list is:

  1. General Setup
  2. Pax Travelling
  3. Markup / Commission
  4. Booking Notes (this task)
  5. Agent Notes
  6. Recalculate Booking

There are Booking Notes and Agent Notes:

  • Booking Notes allows free-format notes to be added to the Booking under a range of predefined Note Categories, which must first have been set up via Home > System > Code Setup > Messaging > Notes. Notes can be output on documents and messages to both agents and suppliers.
  • Booking Notes will sort data by note category.
  • Agent Notes allows viewing (read-only) of notes attached to the agent.
