Once we have the base price and the board supplement or discount applied, then we have to process the occupancy supplements and discounts informed at CNSU structure. 

There are three different types:

1.   Child supplement or discount

Determine the final type of pax for the service

2.  Infant supplement or discount

Applied only for passengers with a lower age than specified in Minimum child age in the contract

3.   Additional bed

Applied only for the passenger exceeding the standard capacity

4.   Room for single use

Applied only for passengers not exceeding the standard capacity

General restrictions:

• The [CNSU.Is per pax] value is always true
• One passenger can only have one record to apply
• The [CNSU.Order] is not relevant due to are the first in the application order
• The [CNSU.Is cumulative] is not relevant, will be always false

The price calculated after this process will be the base price on which apply the rest of the supplements and discounts. 

(*) For calculating the final price using the new pricing structure, match the fields: Net price, Price and Amount on CNCT and CNSU structure 

Child supplement or discount

A child supplement or discount is defined when the [CNSU.Type] value is N. 

At this stage we will obtain the passenger type: adult, child or infant, depending on the contract information. 

A passenger is considered an infant when his age is younger than [CCON.Minimum child age]. 

Also when you cannot apply a child supplement or discount but only because of the age rules does not applies due to the passenger age is younger than the minimum age in the child supplement or discount record and there is no more record for this passenger age.

An infant will not be considered in the valuation process and the price is 0. 

A passenger is considered a child pax when a child supplement or discount applies. It is very common child discounts of 100% from 0 to 2 years old. Then, a 1 years old pax will be considered a child pax with price 0, but not an infant. 

A passenger is considered an adult pax when is not an infant or child. 

You have to process record by record and check if it applies for all the days and passenger. As the child supplement or discount is the first you have to apply the order is not relevant. 

The validation record check is:

• Dates

• Room type
• Room characteristic
• Board
• Passenger’s age
• Operation days 

If more than one record is valid, then the filtering order is:

1. Rate
