Overview

Schedule normal, hourly, and golf activities based on availability and vendor business hours.  While viewing reservation lists in arrivals, in-house, or departures; highlight a reservation and select from the Activities Options: Add, Change, Copy, or Transfer.  These options are also accessible from the Navigation page and the main menu under Options.  When Activities is accessed without a selected reservation, the Find Reservation screen opens and requires selection.  Activities on historical reservations (active or non-active) cannot be changed.  Only future and in-house reservation activities can be changed.

Add Activities

Hover over Activities in Options, and click Add to open the Add Activities screen.  Information regarding the selected reservation is displayed at the top of the screen.  Date, type, and vendor parameters can be entered to filter the number of activities shown once Display is clicked.

Select appropriately from any filters that might be available.  Enter the desired Start and End dates for the activity.  Activities cannot be added for a date prior to the system date, outside of the reservation dates (when there is a charge for the activity), or to a cancelled or checked-out reservation.  Use the Type drop-downs to display only certain types of vendors or the Vendor drop-down to select a specific vendor.  Review add golf activity or add hourly activities for more information on these types of activities.  Click Display.   Only activities whose vendors have the Show on Add Activity checked are displayed in this list.  Once an activity has been selected from the list, click the "Add Activity" button.

Vendor Type is set up by the administrator when vendors are first added to the table.  Add Activities is also accessible from the Change and New Reservation screens.  If the "Itinerary & Concierge" (RP) module is not installed, the Add Activities button on Change and New Reservations is replaced by Post Charges.  The selected reservation information is displayed at the top of the form.  To reduce the number of activities to choose from, use the filters provided for Date, Type, and Vendor.  These filters are unique and definable by property.  Click Add/Change Activities for more information.

The activity forms display the reservation information header (read-only), (View) Activity Info buttons, as well as the Total (total itinerary amount).  The Activities grid displays the activity date, vendor type, vendor name, description, price, and configured filter values such as golf information.


Figure 1.  The rate plan in this sample screen is RACK.  Since RACK is not marked as a Golf Package and does not have an Activity Code in our demo files, none of the radio buttons (Golf, Non-Golf, Pkg, Non-Pkg, and All) are displayed.

Start
The Start (date) field defaults to the arrival date of the selected reservation and can only be set to a date between the arrival and departure dates of that reservation.  This date is used to calculate the rate of each activity (which can vary by day, date, or season) and also serves as the posting date when the activity is saved.  When adding activities, enter a start and ending date to display all available activities for the specific date range.
End
The End (date) field defaults to the departure date of the selected reservation and can only be set to a date between the arrival and departure dates of that reservation.
Same as Start Date
When checked, click Display to view available activities for only the first date of the reservation (Start and End both equal Arrival Date).  When unchecked, the End date can be changed to match any date within the reservation, including the Departure Date of the reservation.  For example, a reservation from March 1st to the 16th might display activities for each date of the reservation (1-16) which could take a while if the property has a lot of activities from which to choose.  If the "Same as Start Date" box is checked, then only the activities for March 1st are displayed in the grid.  Check this box to reduce the number of activities in the grid when adding for multiple days.  The default setting can be changed using Reservation Configuration | Activities tab | Same as Start Date.
Type (Filter by)
Select a type of activity to reduce the number of activities displayed for selection.  RDPWin demo files include just a few ideas of what activities can be made available:  bike rentals, equipment rentals, folio charges, breakfast/lunch/dinner, golf courses, hourly vendors, and indoor tennis.  The folio charges can be used to charge for conference room use, faxes, or room charge adjustments.  Use the drop-down list to select a filter, such as HOURLY (Hourly Vendor), to view only one vendor type in the grid.  HOURLY could be set to show all vendors offering items available by the hour such as conference rooms or skis.
Vendor
Select one vendor or view all vendors.  Select all vendors and select an activity Type to reduce the number displayed.  Using the demo data as an example, select bike rental as the Type to reduce the vendor list to just those offering bike rentals.  Enter VAILBIKE (Vail Bike Techs) to view only activities offered by Vail Bike Tech.  Combine entries in Type and Vendor to further reduce the number of options, such as Type=BIKE and Vendor=VAILBIKE.  These two selections would only display bike rentals available from Vail Bike Techs.
Pkg vs. Non-Pkg or All
Only visible if the reservation selected has a package rate, adding activities to a reservation offers Package, Non-Package, and All options for filtering the vendor list.  Select Pkg to only display activities in the system as part of a package.  Select Non-Pkg to view activity items in the system that are not part of a package.  Select All (the default) to view both package and non-package activities in the grid.

If the reservation's rate plan for the entire stay does not include a rate plan with an Activity Code or is marked as a Golf Package, the radio buttons are not displayed. If the reservation contains at least one rate plan with an Activity Code, the radio buttons are displayed and labeled Package, Non-Package, and All. If the reservation includes at least one rate plan marketed as a Golf Package, buttons labeled Golf, Non-Golf and All, and the Golf Totals button are also shown.


Figure 3.  The rate plan in this sample screen is set to 3AAA.  Since this rate has an Activity Code and is marked as a package rate in our demo files, the Package, Non-Package, and All radio buttons are displayed.  Sample Non-Package screen.
Golf vs. Non-Golf or All
Only visible if the reservation selected is part of a golf package, adding activities to a reservation offers Golf, Non-Golf, and All options for searching the list of Vendors.  Select Golf to display only activity items that are in the system as part of a golf package.  Select Non-Golf to view activity items in the system that are not part of a golf package.  Select All to view both Golf and Non-Golf activity items.  (Using RDPWin's demo data, select Res#275 or Res#522 for a package reservation, use Res#300 for a golf reservation.)


Figure 2.  The rate plan in this sample screen is set to B260 which is a golf rate plan in our demo files.  Since the B260 Rate Plan has an Activity Code and is marked as a Golf Package in our demo files; the Golf, Non-Golf, All radio buttons and the Golf Totals button are displayed.  Sample Non-Golf screen.
Display (Button)
Click the Display button to populate the grid with activities that match the set filters.

Select an activity in the Activities grid and click the "Add Activity" button or double-click the selected Activity to open the Add Activity screen.  If the Prompt for "Include in Package" When Adding a New Activity configuration setting is checked and the selected activity has a folio charge associated with it, the system prompts with "Include selected activity in package?".  Make any necessary changes, and click "Save & Close" to return to the previous screen and populate the "Items to be Saved" area with the details including Start and End Times.

When a "direct charge" activity is selected and the "Add Activity" button clicked, the Add Direct Charge screen opens.  This small screen offers the same capabilities as Post Charge.

When selecting activities but before actually saving them to a reservation, click "Delete All Items to be Saved" to clear all unsaved selections and start over.
Golf Totals Button
Only visible if the reservation selected is part of a golf package, display golf round information for the selected reservation.  This includes the number of golfers, golf days, extra rounds for the package, package rounds booked with pricing information, and extra rounds booked.  The Golf Totals screen automates the calculation of golf round pricing; figuring package pricing for package rounds and "other" pricing for additional rounds added.  For example, if two golfers are on a golf package reservation for seven days, then 14 rounds are included in the package.
Hourly Vendors
Both the Itinerary & Concierge module (R6) and the Activity Availability for Itinerary & Virtual Store (S6) modules are required to work with hourly activities.

Vendors who rent items for intervals of time rather than all day are considered hourly vendors.  To set up the parameters for booking hourly activities, use the Activity Schedule on the Vendor Detail tab.

The Add Activities screen displays detailed fields for the activity selected on the previous screen.  Once all details have been saved, click "Save & Close" to file all the activities listed in the "Items to be Saved" area of the Add Activities screen.

Activity Sequence
Unique number automatically assigned to the activity by the system for tracking purposes. 
Activity Name
This name is given to the activity while in Reservations/Configuration/Activities Tab/Activity Batch Maintenance in the Description field.  Any change made in the Add Activity screen is only for the specific reservation selected.  It is a one-time change.  To change the Activity Name permanently, go to Activity Batch Maintenance.  This field defaults to the activity item selected on the previous screen (Add Activities), but it can be changed by simply typing directly into the text box.
Tx Code
Displays the transaction code used to post the charge which generates the transaction sequence number.
Tx Sequence
Displays the automatically assigned sequence number of the transaction that relates to the selected activity.
Auto Repeat
When checked, the selected activity is scheduled for each date of the stay (not including the check-out date).  For a reservation scheduled for March 1st through March 8th with the Auto Repeat button checked, the activity is scheduled for March 1st through the 7th (the final "full" day at the property).
Repeat on Check-Out Date
Only enabled when Auto Repeat is checked, the activity is also scheduled for the check-out date.  For a reservation scheduled for March 1st through March 8th with the Auto Repeat button checked, the activity is scheduled for March 1st through the 7th (the final "full" day at the property).   Check this box to also add the activity on March 8th.
Activity ID
Automatically assigned number that identifies the hourly activity selected.  In non-hourly activity cases, this field is blank.
Component (Number)
Displays the number of the component configured in the system which comes from either the VP or VZ table.
Activity Date
This field defaults to the date selected on the previous screen (Add Activities), but it can be changed using the calendar feature or by typing directly into the field.  The date can only be set within the reservation dates, but this includes the arrival and departure dates.  
Starting Day
The starting day is enabled when the Auto Repeat checkbox is selected. When available, this field indicates which day during the guest's stay the auto repeat process should begin.
Start/End Time
Enter a start and end time for this individual activity for this individual reservation.  These fields can be completed at the Vendor level or at the activity level, are for informational purposes only, and do not connect to the hourly activities chart.
Print Itinerary
When unchecked, the activity does not print on the Itinerary.  This box is checked by default.
Ticket Qty Code
See Tkt Qty Code for details.
People Per Ticket
See Ppl Per Tkt for details.
People Billed
The number in this field represents how many people are participating in the activity and require a fee paid.  For example, Joe Hersh should have one $5 breakfast activity on his Itinerary, but there are three people in his party.  The breakfast activity should be added to the Itinerary once, but People Billed should equal three.  The Total Price reflects the People Billed (3) times the Price ($5) for a total of $15. 
Cost
The Cost field tracks the actual cost to the property for each activity.  This field is only displayed if switch C1ITINCOST has be set to yes. The cost information is maintained by the Component Maintenance program.
Price
Displays the price entered for the selected activity from the Rate Plan Component Maintenance screen based on the activity date and seasonal table.  This price can be overwritten manually on an individual activity basis. 
Closed
The Closed checkbox displays in the Closed column for an activity only if the Allow Open Check box is checked on the Activity Vendor master.  A closed activity indicates that activity equipment, if appropriate, has been returned to the property and the activity is complete.  As reservations are checked out, the system warns of any "open" activities.  Activities are closed using the Change Activity screen.  The checkbox has three states:  (1) and open status indicates that an asset has not been returned, such as a bike that was rented out for a particular activity; (2) when checked, the item has been returned and the activity is complete; and (3) a solid colored checkbox indicates that the closed option does not apply to the activity.
Inactive
When a reservation is cancelled, the system automatically checks this box. It is also checked if the departure date on the reservation is changed to a prior date and the activity is outside the new departure date.  When Change Activity Date if Reservation Dates Are Changed (Switch 423-14) is set to "Yes", activity dates update and Inactive is not needed.

For example, when Switch 423-14 is set to No, assume Mary Jo has a reservation for six nights on March 1st with check-out on March 7th. She has a bike rental scheduled for March 6th. Mary Joe calls to change her departure date from March 7th to March 5th. Her activity on the 6th will be marked as inactive. After changing dates on a reservation, be sure to check the activities and change them if needed. 
Total Price
Displays the total of People Billed times the Price of the activity.  See People Billed for an example.
Included in Package
Check this box if the activity price is to be part of the package rate (not a separate transaction but hidden in the room rate) when the folio is printed.  For example, make a reservation for Jerry Rogers for March 1st for three nights at $100 per night.  Add breakfast at $5 per day, set People Billed to 2, and check the "Include in Package" checkbox.  When the folio is previewed or printed, the room rate displays as $105 per night.  On the Folio tab within Res Details, each transaction displays separately but the "In Pkg" column is set to Y (yes) for the breakfast activity.  See Components for information on how to set up "parts" to be included in a package.
Package/Extra Round
When the selected reservation has a package or golf rate, this field tracks whether or not the activity is part of golf package or is to be added as an extra round.  For example, a golf package for five nights might include two rounds of golf.  Should the guest wish to play a third or more, that activity should be marked with E for Extra Round so when the Golf Totals button is accessed, the appropriate totals are displayed.
Confirmation Number
If activities are booked with an outside vendor, enter a confirmation into this field.
Confirmed With
If activities are booked with an outside vendor, enter the name of the person from that Vendor who confirmed the activity.
Confirmation Notes 1 and 2
Each of these two fields offers 18 character spaces for additional comments regarding the confirmation.

When an activity is added to a reservation, the fields are stamped by the system to identify the logon name of the person who entered the information and the date originally saved.
Changed By (Name and Date)
When an activity is changed on a reservation, the fields are stamped by the system to identify the logon name of the person who made the changes and the date saved.
