Discounts Mapping |
Top Previous Next |
This is accessed through Maintenance / Online Reservations / Hercules / Hercules Setup, Parsing tab, and click the Discounts mapping button.
Hercules can apply "Discounts" similar to the way Campground Master does, for Good Sam, AAA, etc. This function is used to convert their Discount ID's into field values and/or transactions in Campground Master.
As with Adders, the key is that you need to know the "Discount ID" from Hercules for each discount used. These vary by account, so you need to find out what your Discount ID's are from Hercules.
The procedure for setting up Discount mapping is almost identical to the Adders mapping, so it's not detailed again here. There is just one primary difference in the Discounts mapping -- instead of the focus being on a quantity, as in adders for # Adults for instance, Discounts are typically either present (if it applies) or not present.
Therefore, instead of setting a field quantity, generally you will just set the Discount field to the appropriate value for each Hercules discount ID -- e.g. for the Hercules ID for a Good Sam discount, set the Reservation Field "Discount" to the value "Good Sam". The important thing is to make sure you're entering the Value exactly as you have it in the Pick Lists for Discounts -- including the precise capitalization.
