System Administrator - Configure Seasons

Overview

Define all seasons with Tables C3 and all Q tables. Every property uses Table C3 to define rate changes throughout the year. When the property sells packages with outside vendors such as golf course and ski resorts, then "vendor seasons" are configured using the various Q tables: The process is the same for both property seasons and vendor seasons. Table C3 holds subrecords for every month of the year labeled as year/month (0001)

Table C3 - Seasonal Calendar
Table Q0 - Enhanced Package Season Tables
Table Q1 - Lift Ticket Seasons
Table Q3 - Golf Component Season
Table Q4 - Rafting Seasons
Table QL - Long Term Seasons (see Long Term Rates)

Select Table Maintenance from System | File Utilities.
Select C3 - Seasonal Calendar - Rate Calculation from the Table drop-down.

As shown in this sample screen, May 2000 (00=year 2000 and 05=fifth month or May) has only Season A; whereas April 2004 has both Seasons D and A.
