Component Package Tours Setup Steps

The setup steps required to create and operate component package tours are:

  1. Determine the break points that are in the longest tour (12 Day). A break point is a point in the tour itinerary where pax numbers are able and likely to change – i.e., the start/end point of the components.

  2. Create PCM’s for each of the component and saleable tours. See Step 1 - Create PCMs

  3. Create Package Service Products which hold the selling prices for each of the components and saleable tours. See Step 2 - Create Package Database Products

  4. Create departure dates and availability in Tourplan NX Allocations. See Step 3 - Create Departure Dates & Availability

  5. Attach each of the Package Service Products created in 3. to the PCM's created in 2. See Step 4 - Attach Package Products to PCM's.
