This is the third of eight tasks described in this user manual for changing booking details.

At any time during the process of inserting services into a booking, a summary of the total booking cost, selling price, mark-up, commission and tax for any itinerary can be viewed via the Pax Totals screen.
If the book on feature has been used, the group booking will detail the pax totals for all FIT bookings rolled into the group booking.
NOTE: None of the values on this screen can be edited - they are display-only for the itinerary currently selected.
