Overwrite supplier markup

Overwrite supplier markup

The Overwrite supplier markup setting lets you set a default agency markup percentage in the Default commission setup section of your agency record. The percentage set here will carry across to the itemised pricing table in any itineraries you connect your agency to. This commission type calculates the agent price without factoring in the supplier markup, and will apply the agency markup percentage amount instead to each line item in your itinerary. The total price that will be payable to you by your agent will be listed in the agent price columns. The gross price is also still listed which allows you to compare the charges to your agent to your usual gross charges.


Other than the net, supplier markup and gross price explained previously, the following factors typically apply to the overwrite supplier markup calculation:

  • Agent markup: The percentage added in the default commission setup carries through to the itemised pricing table as the agent markup %. You can edit each line item to overwrite the default agent markup %.
  • Agent price: The agent price is applied to the net value. Agent price calculates as: Net + Agent Markup.
    • Example: In the example above, the agent markup of 10% carries across in the Agent markup column. For the first pricing row, the agent price calculates as:
      • $150 (net) + $15 (10% of $150) = $165.00
  • ​
  • Note: The Total price for this Itinerary will show the Display Gross price where as the Agent total price will be the Agent price.
