Create Transport Rule

Overview

The Create Transport Rule page allows you to define and configure transport rules that can be applied to bookings. A transport rule specifies validity dates, departure and arrival locations, transport types, pricing information, and additional settings that affect how the transport is handled in the booking workflow.

Purpose

Transport rules are used to:

• Define available transport routes and validity periods.

• Configure pricing and payment rules for specific transports.

• Adjust check-in dates, hotel nights, and travel length based on transport details.

• Manage visibility, cancellation conditions, and filtering in the system.

Field Explanation

General

• Code* – Unique identifier for the transport rule (mandatory).

• Date From* – Start date for the validity of the rule (mandatory).

• Date To* – End date for the validity of the rule (mandatory).

Users are allowed to modify the selected dates after the initial save, as long as the transports have not yet been generated. This ensures flexibility during setup while still preserving data integrity once the generation process begins.

• Departure* – Departure location (mandatory).

• Arrival* – Arrival location (mandatory).

• Stay Days – Define stay duration (optional, tab). The values ​​displayed in this field are defined in Setup -> Transport Stay Days.

When a user clicks the “+” button to add new stay dates, the system automatically preselects the first available stay day from the drop-down list.

This behavior allows users to repeatedly press “+” and quickly add all remaining stay days in sequence, creating a faster and more efficient workflow.

• Allotment – Configure allotment rules (optional, tab).
