Product Components - Optional Recommendations

When creating or updating components in RTP, there are many fields to update. The importance of any given field will depend on your resorts requirements and how the component and associated product(s) need to behave.

The following section is for product component configuration that aren't relevant in flaik but will have an impact on selling, staffing, or reporting on lesson products. Therefore we recommend that care and attention are used when deciding on how to configure these fields.

• Product Group/Category

  • Influences your revenue reporting in RTP

• Deferral Pattern

  • Influences your revenue reporting in RTP

• Report Revenue

  • Generally, any priced component should have this checked.

  • Any component that has earned accounting of a revenue account should also likely have this checked.

• Inventory Pool

  • Determines how much of a product can be sold, which should align with staffing levels.

  • Auto Assign - if an inventory pool is only available at one location you’ll likely want to select this option, as it speeds up the sales process.

• Tax

  • Must be set as per government requirements.

• Statistic

  • Configured as per resort requirements.

• Private Lessons:

  • Discipline

    • May be required depending on lesson schedule sync settings at your resort.

  • Allow ‘No Instructor Bookings’

    • Will be required for online sales

    • May or may not be required/desired for front-line sales depending on internal sales procedures.

As software, flaik isn’t aware of any of the values you’ve used when configuring a lesson component. Saying that, if you’re unsure of how best to set these values we do have some recommendations.

• Product Group, Product Category, Units, Deferral Pattern

  • These values combine to form the foundation of a resort’s revenue reporting.

  • These values are typically determined by a resort’s Finance/Accounting team.

• Security Level

  • Always leave it set to 0 for a component. Nothing good will come from this being above a 0.

• Active/Display

  • Unchecking either of these will make it difficult to search for older components and may impact your revenue reporting.
