Double as Single – Hotel Contract Configuration
Overview
The Double as Single tab is used to define additional costs (or discounts) when a double room is occupied by a single person. This is especially relevant for pricing logic and ensures fair cost allocation when occupancy is reduced.

Preconditions
Before you start:
The hotel contract exists and is open for editing.
Room types exist in Rooms – Hotel Contract Configuration.
Period IDs exist in Periods – Hotel Contract Configuration.
Cost adjustment per period (top section)
Add one row per Period ID.
The system applies the row when the room is booked as single occupancy.
Period ID
Period the adjustment belongs to. It maps to the Periods tab.
Cost
Adjustment value. Use positive for surcharge. Use negative for discount.
Per Pax
Applies the adjustment per passenger instead of per room.
%
When enabled, Cost is treated as a percentage. When disabled, it is a fixed amount.
🗑️ Delete
Deletes the row.
How it works
The room price is calculated from the parent room setup.
The Double as Single adjustment is applied for the matching Period ID.
Per Pax multiplies the adjustment by passenger count.
If nothing changes in pricing, check the Period ID first.

FAQ
What is “Double as Single” used for? It prices a double room when only one guest stays. It prevents undercharging compared to double occupancy.
Can I create a discount instead of a surcharge?
Yes. Enter a negative Cost value.
Example: -10 or -15%.
What does the “%” checkbox change? It changes how Cost is interpreted. Enabled means percentage. Disabled means fixed amount.
When should I enable “Per Pax”? Enable it when the adjustment is per person. Leave it off for per-room adjustments.
Why does my Double as Single rule not apply? Most cases are a wrong Period ID. Also check the booking dates match that period.
Do I need to configure rooms again here? No. Room codes come from the contract room setup. This tab only adds single-occupancy pricing logic.
