• Contract Setup: Ensure that Periods are defined.

• Offers Module: These promotions can appear as special offers in customer-facing booking tools.

• Booking Flow: If a booking qualifies (based on date, duration, and room), the discount is automatically applied.

• EB Combination: If Early Booking (EB) is selected, the rule stacks only when the early booking conditions are also met (see Early Booking Discount tab).

Best Practices

• Use rounded values like 7/6 or 4/3 for clarity.

• Avoid overlapping offers with identical conditions, which may confuse the booking engine.
