The parameter “MIN PAX” defines the minimum number of pax where the system does not calculate KID2 kids as kids but as adults.


The parameter is configured in 

Rates -> Rate Catalogues -> <select rate plan> -> <select room type> -> “MIN PAX”

Note:

You configure MIN PAX for each Rate Type/Room Type combination. 

The system calculates only KID2 category, not KID1**


**KID2 & KID1 are kid category ages. Those are configured in section Management/Hotel Settings/Pax .Most common Kid1 age category are the infants age 0-3 years old and Kid2 age category are children age 4-12 years old

 

Example 1

if MIN PAX = 3 and you have 2 adults and 1 KID2 child, then the KID2 will be considered as 3rd adult and the system will give the price of 3 adults.

 

Example 2

if MIN PAX = 2 and you have 2 adults and 1 KID2 child, then the KID2 will be considered as KID2 and the system will give the price of 2 adults plus the price of KID2.

See Scenarios for more details

 

Example 3

If MIN PAX = 2 and you have 1 adult and 2 kids, one KID1 and one KID2, the KID2 will be considered as 2nd adult and the system will give the price of 2 adults plus the price of KID1.

 

If MIN PAX is smaller than the maximum capacity of the room, then you should always set a price of KID2 in Advance Rating

 


Example:

Studio has a normal capacity of 3 

Prices: 

1 Adult: 230 Euro

2 Adults: 250 Euro

3 Adults: 300 Euro

Extra Kid2: 25 euro

 

Scenario 1

If you set up MIN PAX = 1, then the user has to edit price for KID2 category

Then:

For 1 Adult and 1 kid2, the price will be 230 + 25 = 255 euro

For 2 Adults and 1 kid2, the price will be 250 + 25 = 275 euro

 

Scenario 1

If you set up MIN PAX = 2, then the user has to edit price for KID2 category

Then:

For 1 Adult and 1 kid2, the price will be the same as of 2 adults (250 euro)

For 2 Adults and 1 kid2, the price will be 250 + 25 = 275 euro

 

Scenario 2

 If you set up MIN PAX = 3, then, you DO NOT need to put price at KID2 category

Then:

For 1 Adult and 1 kid2, the price will be the same as of 2 adults (250 euro)

For 2 Adults and 1 kid2, the price will be the same as of 3 adults (300 euro)
