Editing & Locking Booking Prices

Editing & Locking Booking Prices

Supplier prices load into your itinerary automatically. This article covers how to override prices for individual bookings, keep prices stable across rate refreshes, and update quantities without losing your edits.

Editing a booking price

To override the price for a specific booking:

  1. On the Pricing tab, click the three vertical dots (⋮) at the end of the booking row.
  2. Select Edit pricing.
  3. Choose your calculation method from the Calculate using dropdown. The default is set at the Supplier level, but you can change it per booking.
  4. Edit the relevant price fields. The other values update automatically.
  5. Click Save.

TIP: You can edit the per person per day/night price — the total will recalculate automatically.

Calculation combinations

The Calculate using dropdown controls which fields you enter manually and which are calculated. Here is a summary:

Using a previous season's rate

If your Supplier has not yet loaded new season rates, you can apply a rate from a prior period as an estimate.
  1. In the Edit pricing window, click the three dots More icon.
  2. Select Use existing rate period.
  3. Choose the available rate from the list displayed.
  4. Click Select, then Save.

Updating quantity without losing edited prices

Normally, changing a booking's quantity from the Build tab triggers a Supplier rate refresh, which removes any manually edited prices. To avoid this:
  1. Go to the Pricing tab and open Edit pricing for the booking.
  2. Update the quantity directly from within the Edit pricing screen.
The system will recalculate using your edited prices — not the Supplier rate — so your overrides are preserved.

Locking booking prices

Locking prevents a price from being overwritten when you refresh rates or when Supplier pricing changes. This is recommended once you have confirmed rates for a specific itinerary.

To lock a booking, click the three vertical dots (⋮) on the row and choose one of the following lock options:

Field

What it shows

Lock net

Prevents the system from fetching updated Supplier net rates. Supplier-level changes will not flow through.

Lock markup

Locks the Markup percentage. If the Supplier net rate changes, the Gross price adjusts automatically.

Lock gross

Locks the Gross price. If the Supplier net rate changes, the Markup adjusts automatically.

Lock all

No price fields change on refresh — the booking is fully protected.


NOTE: If a booking is locked, you will see a warning if you try to change its Quantity from the Build tab: 'Quantity can't be amended for services that are locked on the Pricing tab.' Update quantity from the Edit pricing screen instead.

Editing item details from the Pricing tab

You can update booking details without leaving the Pricing tab:
  1. Click the three vertical dots (⋮) on the booking row.
  2. Select Edit item details.
The Edit item dialog opens over the Pricing page. Any changes you make are saved exactly as if you'd edited from the Build tab. When you save or cancel, you return to the Pricing page.
