Booking defaults

Commission, payment terms and embarkation times used for every new booking.

Settings → Booking defaults (administrators). These values are used for new bookings and printed on booking confirmations.

Setting	Example	Used for
Default commission (%)	20	Pre-filled commission on new bookings
First payment (%)	30	The deposit, as a percentage of the net price
First payment due (days after confirmation)	7	Due date of the deposit
Balance due (days before embarkation)	30	Due date of the balance
Embarkation time	17:00	Confirmations and charter parties
Disembarkation time	09:00	Confirmations and charter parties

For every booking:

First payment = net price × first payment %, due N days after the booking was created.
Balance = the rest, due N days before the check-in date.

Set the first payment to 100% if you take full payment upfront; there is then no balance instalment.

These two instalments drive the payment status, the reminders and the payment schedule on the confirmation.
