Price list schedule is used to have different prices in different date periods. Price list schedules are different for each accommodation.
Date periods inside price list schedules can be grouped by price so you needn’t enter the same price more than once.
Defining a new price list schedule
- Edit accommodation.
- Choose the Price list tab.
- In the Options field find the Price list schedule drop down list and click the Plus button next to it.
- The New price list schedule window will appear.
NOTE: There are already 4 period groups defined by default. One of the groups contains 2 periods, so there are total 5 periods predefined. Number of periods and period groups can be changed. - Enter the Price list schedule name.
HINT: It is good to put year in the name, for example: “Hotel Sheraton 2012” so that you can easily find it later. - You can do one of the following:
- Enter a new period group by clicking Add period group button
- Add a new period inside a period group by clicking the Add Period button
- Delete a period by clicking Delete button
- Enter the Start and End dates of the period
- NOTE: Start and end dates have no year. They apply to the current season.
- Enter the Release period.
- Mark a period as a one day period by clicking the One day period option.
- Delete a period group by deleting all periods from the group.
- Click OK to save changes.
HINT: You can clear the predefined setup by clicking Clear all button.
NOTE: The first day of the period is included in the period and the last day is not. For example, if the period is from 7.10 till 15.11 the price on 7.10 will be calculated from that period and on 15.11 you will get price from another period.
Do not leave days of the year not covered with periods, unless you need to. For example, if you receive price list from your supplier that has 2 periods (from 7.10 till 15.11 and from 16.11 till 24.12) enter it in Lemax as 2 periods from 7.10 till 16.11 and second as 16.11 till 25.12).
If you do not do so and enter dates as you got from supplier, nights on 15.11 and 24.12 will be left with no price at all.

Copy price list schedule
Change the price list schedule on an existing price list
- Edit accommodation.
- Choose the Price list tab.
- In the Options field find the Price list schedule drop down list and select a different price list schedule.
- Click OK to save changes.
NOTE: Each period group will be replaced with a new one. The first period group from the old price list schedule will get replaced with the first group from the new price list schedule; the second period group will get replaced with the second period group from the new price list schedule and so on.
If the new price list schedule has more period groups than the existing one, these extra groups will have the prices set to 0. In case that the new schedule has fewer groups than the old one, the price list will get cut off.
The billing type of each season should be the same, otherwise price for periods that starts in one season and end it next one, will not be right. If you have different billing types, choose only one and recalculate prices.
