1. Contracts

As from Version 2020.3.4048, Agent Contracts will be available in NebulaCRS. 

Please note

Existing Contracts in eRes will still be valid. Should contracts have expired in eRes the aim is to rather create them on NebulaCRS using the new Contracts functionality.

2. Adding Contracts

1. To add a new Contract on NebulaCRS navigate to Profiles -> Agents -> Contracts.

1. Select the "New" button, thereafter the Contracts screen will be displayed and the below details need to be completed. 

1. Start and End Date: Specify the Contract start and end date, these are the dates during which the Contract will be valid.

1. Room Category: Should this Contract only apply to one Room Category, it can be specified by selecting the Room Category below the dates. Alternatively leave this field blank and it will apply to all Room Categories at the selected hotels. 

1. Currency: A currency needs to be assigned to the Contract. Click the drop-down menu option to select the Currency. 
   

1. Commissionable: Indicate here whether this Contract is commissionable.

1. Last Room Availability:  If ticked, the last rooms available in Inventory will be honored at the Rate specified on the Agent contract, irrespective of any yielding parameters (Restrictions, Closeouts or Opportunity Cost) defined.

1. Levy Included: Is there a levy included in this Contracted rate, if so select the box.
   

1. Fixed: Fixed Contracts will be added at a later stage.
   

1. Rate Codes: Next specify which Rate Codes the Agent will receive by ticking the Rate Codes. These are the Rate codes that were negotiated by the Agent. Please also ensure the Rate Codes contracted to the Agent are valid. Please note that should this field be left blank (without any ticks) All Rate Codes will be selected and thus contracted to the Agent.

1. Hotels: The Contracts may be Hotel specific or it may be valid at all hotels. Select the Hotel/s where the Contract should be applied by ticking them. Please note that should this field be left blank (without any ticks) All Hotels will be selected and thus Contracted to the Agent.

1. Agents: Lastly select the Agent that will receive the Contracted Rate. Multiple Agents can be selected to receive the specified Rate, making adding Contracts much simpler.

Once the information has been completed select the "Save" button. The newly created Contract will now be listed on the Contracts screen. 

Please Note

1. Existing Contracts created in eRes will be not be visible in NebulaCRS. Only NebulaCRS Contracts will display here.
2. Contracts are supported on both platforms with NebulaCRS created contracts available in eRes, but eRes contracts (although valid) are not visible in NebulaCRS.
