Replace Agent price with Agent net
in progress
Jason Bragg
When an itinerary has an Agency assigned, the pricing tab uses Agent price. Within the travel industry the common term to use is Agent net. Agent net is always the value between what we pay our supplier and what the traveller pays.
So the pricing display columns should always be: "Net", "Margin", "Agent Net", "Agent Margin", "Gross"
However in Tourwriter the Agent price is either Traveller price or Agent net depending on the agency commission setup rather than the industry standard Agent net and Agent gross.
This means the order of the columns on the Pricing tab and the meaning of terms are inconsistent and can be confusing.
It would be great to shift to a consistent and standard use of Agent net when an Agency is associated to an Itinerary:
"Net" = Amount paid to the supplier for the product
"Margin" = Operator margin excluding the agent margin (grouped to include Margin, Markup, Commission)
"Agent Net" = The net amount the Agent pays
"Agent Margin" = The amount the agent makes (grouped to included Agent margin, Agent markup Agent commission)
"Gross (Display gross)" = The amount the traveller pays including the operator and agent margins

Jason Bragg DYI has asked if it would be possible to round the agent prices in the same way that we round the gross price for those situations where they'll show pricing on a line-by-line basis. Any plans to include this?

The problem
The pricing tab uses Agent price to reflect either Traveller price or Agent net depending on the agency commission setup rather than the industry standard Agent net and Agent gross.
This means the order of the columns on the Pricing tab and the meaning of terms are inconsistent and can be confusing. This ticket aims to standardise the Pricing tab layout using industry terms.

"Margin" = Operator margin excluding the agent margin (grouped to include Margin, Markup, Commission)
"Agent Net" = The net amount the Agent pays
"Agent Margin" = The amount the agent makes (grouped to included Agent margin, Agent markup Agent commission)
"Gross (Display gross)" = The amount the traveller pays including the operator and agent margins
