This article summarizes the many ways to change pricing on an event. That includes changing the pricing plan for the event and editing the pricing for one or more room or resource charges manually.
Setting the Pricing Plan When Creating an Event
When you create a new event in Mazévo as an event planner, you can override the system's default pricing plan for the event (see below). Mazévo then uses this plan to determine the pricing for each room and resource on the event.
To change the pricing plan for an existing event:
1. Open the event and click Change Event.
2. Select the new pricing plan for the event and click Save. (Note: This will not change any of the prices already set on the event. Only bookings and resources added after this change will have the new pricing.)
To reset pricing for room charges to new pricing plan:
If you need to change the prices for room charges because you changed the event's pricing plan, the system can do that for you.
1. Open the event and select the bookings that you want to "re-price" by checking the box next to each booking.
2. Click Reset Price in the popup menu and click Yes to confirm the change.
To reset pricing for resources to the new pricing plan:
If you want to reset the pricing for the resources on an event because you changed the event's pricing plan, the system can do that for you.
1. Open the event and select the Resources tab. Select the resources that you want to have updated pricing by check the box next to each resource.
2. Click Reset Price in the popup menu and click Yes to confirm.
To override the pricing plan and change the price on one or more bookings manually:
1. Open the event.
2. Select the booking(s) to be changed by checking the associated boxes.
3. Click Change Price in the popup menu.
4. Enter the new pricing information (method, price, and discount) and click Save.
To override the pricing plan and change the price on one or more resources manually:
1. Open the event.
2. Click the Resources tab and select the resource(s) to be changed by checking the associated boxes.
3. Click Change Price in the popup menu.
4. Enter the new pricing information (method, price, and discount) and click Save.
To create a resource "credit" entry:
If you need to show a credit (i.e., a negative amount) on a confirmation or invoice, you simply change the quantity of the resource to a negative value. For example, you might want to credit the amount charged to the customer if they're unhappy with a rented data projector.
1. Open the event, click the Resources tab, and find the resource in question.
2. Check the box next to the item and click Change Quantity in the Change Resources menu.
3. Type -1 and click Save.
The price of the item is updated, as are associated taxes and services charges. With regard to resource inventory, negative quantities are ignored when calculating resource usage.
