Product Analysis Fields 1

Six user labelled and defined analysis codes are able to be created and applied to services in the Product database. They can then be used to provide analysis of services. Default analysis detail can be set up against Service Codes so that the Analysis Codes will automatically be applied when a new product with that Service Code is created.

If user companies choose to use analysis codes for services, consultants (at the time of quotation or booking) will have the ability to use the advance filter to search services by analysis code(s).

The example given below is for only one of the Product Analysis Codes. The method to set up the remaining 5 is exactly the same. If not all analysis codes are going to be used, the blank 'Unassigned' code in the unused analysis codes must not be deleted.

In a new Tourplan NX system (or when Product Analysis Codes are not being used), these six menu nodes display as Analysis 1; Analysis 2; Analysis 3; Analysis 4; Analysis 5; Analysis 6.

When they are being used, these nodes assume the labels given to the Analysis Codes in INI Settings.

In the examples shown below, Service Category has been set as the label for Analysis 1 and Pass Type has been set as the label for Analysis 2.

The terminology Analysis Fields 1-6 are used in Code Setup purely as a label for these 6 Analysis Fields There are six INI settings that can label/re-lable these Analysis Field headings and will allow these fields to have user defined labels.

The INI Settings are found in Code Setup > INI Settings > System > DATABASE_ANALYSISn (1-6)

With a large number of analysis codes being available through the Tourplan system, advice should be sought from the local Tourplan office on possible coding that will meet individual companies' reporting requirements.

Code (Chr 2)

A unique Code for the Analysis code.

Description (Chr 40)

The Analysis code description.

Once created, Analysis codes need to be attached to Products.

Create or search for existing product - instructions on how to search for existing product is covered in more detail within the Product User Manual.

When the product is open, select Product Details from the product setup menu, open the Product Tab and select the required Analysis Code from the dropdown.

This example from the Product application shows the Product Service Category is an apartment. This radio button controls how the pricing of the room is structured. The Analysis Code labelled "Service Category"attached is HO - Hotel Accommodation, since the property is a hotel.
