 Each year you will need to create a new year and therefore new price periods, but there are ways and means of copying the previous year and amending it. (This will reduce your work load significantly!)
+===== Creating a new pricing year =====
 When a new year is created, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to create a new year. Yes you do. The system will create 01/01/xxxx automatically. To amend this date, click on it and a pop up window will open up.

-Super saver discounts are becoming redundant as they can be managed through the discount module and will disappear soon, so leave blank.
+Super saver discounts and midweek discounts are obsolescent and will disappear at a future version as they can be managed through the discount module.
-If you price for a mid week break based on a %age of a weekly price, add the %age here and tick the % box. If you price by an amount, add the amount in and do not tick the % box. There is no need for £ sign. Likewise, if you price a long break (whole weeks) with a %age discount for the second and subsequent weeks, or a fixed amount, add them in. An extended break is usually a 10/11 night break. If you want it to be a week plus a short break price, leave as zero.
+==== Long breaks ====
-Tick the Available to agent box if you want your agents to see the price period (you probably do). If you allow short breaks tick the box. In some cases, perhaps high season, you may not want short breaks to be available, so some price periods may have short breaks, some may not. The short break exception (days) means that you can set the system to only allow shortbreaks if the holiday starts within x number of days of booking - like a last minute availability option. Often the number of days is 10 (giving you as the operator time to ready your holiday boat). It is entirely up to you.
+If you price a long break (2 or more whole weeks) with a %age discount for the second and subsequent weeks, or a fixed amount, add them in.
+For example, to offer a 50% discount on second and subsequent weeks, enter 50 and tick the "Apply as a percentage" box.
+==== Extended breaks ====
+An extended break is a week plus a short-break (weekend or midweek). If set to zero the system will charge for the week plus the short-break charge. If set to an amount that amount will be deducted from the weekly charge for the short-break part.
+Most clients, set it to a percentage by ticking the "Apply as a percentage" box and typically set it to 50%, making it slightly less than a typical short-break price.
+==== Available to agent ====
+Tick the Available to agent box if you want your agents to see the price period (you probably do).
+==== Allow short-breaks ====
+If you allow short-breaks tick the box. In some cases, perhaps high season, you may not want short-breaks to be available, so some price periods may have short-breaks, some may not.
+The short-break exception (days) means that you can set the system to only allow short-breaks if the holiday starts within x number of days of booking - like a last minute availability option. Typically, if set, the number of days is 10 (giving you as the operator time to ready your holiday boat).
+It is entirely up to you.
 Bank Holiday Profile is becoming obsolete due to variable profiles so leave blank. Do you want the price period to be available online? If yes, tick the box. The price band is when you have many boats within the same price class. This can be left blank.
+===== Saving =====
 You can save it, save to all (will save all the 'content' of the price period to all dates) save for later (which means the system will apply the content to all subsequent dates within your Maintain Price Periods) - usually more likely to be applicable when amending rather than creating price periods. Delete will delete the price period and Quit will close the pop up window.
 ===== Creating a new price year from the current year =====
+You will always need to create a new price year from Maintain Price Periods, but you don't need to laboriously create the periods by hand and then set the base prices.
+You can do this as a single exerise by exporting the base price from the current year and loading it into your new year. See the section on [[holray:prices|base prices]] for more details.
