Include Non-Discounted Price on Invoice
Add ability to include the non-discounted / "rack rate" of a location on the invoice so that a group within a different rate group would know the amount of the discount they have received.
For reporting they would be able to see how much gave away or discount, for advertising it would allow people to see what they originally would have paid, but because of their what discount they got.
A case would be an alumni who asks for a space that is normally $100. Because they are an alumni they get 10% off the space. When running their invoice the invoice will say:
Original price= $100
Discounted price= $90
Amount due = $90

Walt M (CollegeNET) AdminI'm intrigued by this, as it could be very valuable for anyone who finds themselves giving away the farm on the orders of the President or Chancellor's office... The ability to display a "default rate", side by side with an established discounted rate would take up more space, but would paint a very clear picture for all involved just how much is given away (for better or worse, depending on the circumstances).

Walt M (CollegeNET) AdminAnother solution to this could be a way to add line item adjustments, en masse, for a consistent percentage. This could actually add flexibility that the current setup of rate scheduled in Series25 does not afford. The net effect would be the same as the above suggestion, assuming the time investment would be minimal for the end user applying the changes to get this data to display on the invoice/pricing details.

Pamela MasonThis would be nice, I would also like to see the en masse item adjustments. Some discounts are not rates but adhoc. We would want to be able to check the items to include in the en mass editing as it would not always apply to everything. Also being able to run a report on discounts or differences between standard rate and rates give for events would be nice. Essentially a report on lost revenue due to discounts.

Walt M (CollegeNET) AdminWhat I'm potentially hearing from this thread is that Rate Groups, as they exist now, are less desirable than manually applying discounts that can be tracked? In your example above Pamela, would you want to track a standard non-profit rate as 'lost revenue' because the group is non-profit and doesn't pay the for profit, or maximum rate we could possibly charge for that space?
Or, is this a 'we want both' kind of scenario, where difference between rate groups should also be made trackable? -

Pamela MasonI would want both. I like creating the rate groups and having them apply. That apply and in some case it would never matter because the rate group is the internal department rate. Maybe a way to create Discount Rules that get applied and those are entered as discounts on pricing. You would set up the rule for when it applied and then select what it applies to. For instance a flat discount of $200, a percentage on the whole event or a percentage off certain objects. Also, this may be a better way to do taxes as well. A Tax does not always apply across the board and there could be more than one so being able to rack those might be nice. We don't currently have any taxes we have to track for what we sell in 25Live but the city does prefer to do specific services taxes instead of a flat sales tax. We have a bed tax that applies to hotels that our summer guest housing has to manage and something like that would be difficult to apply correctly in 25Live.

MossThis would be great! For example, our Student Union building is non-academic and student-funded. So for an AV cart, off-campus groups are charged $110, on-campus groups are charged $75, and on-campus groups funded by a specific source are charged $37.50. Showing the different groups what other people are getting charged would be helpful!
In the example I gave, I think that the $75 would be the standard price, and I would want the groups being charged $37.50 to see that other on-campus groups are charged $75. However, they wouldn't care about the pricing for off-campus groups. And I wouldn't want off-campus groups to be mad that they can't get a discounted price, so I wouldn't want them to see the lower pricing.
