Every so often a situation arises where it is necessary to use some or all of the
money paid against an old order to help pay for a new order. Examples of where is might happen
include
- A member mistakenly books for a partner or a guest.
- A member wants to use a credit from one year to pay for a walk in the following year.
- A member wants to use a credit to partially pay for a walk after a price rise.
(The change date mechanism only works if the fee for both dates is the same) - A member wants their credit to be used by their partner if they aren’t walking for the foreseeable future.
The basic mechanism for achieving this consists of two steps
- Moving the order item on the original order to a virtual walk Transfer Booking.
This removes it from blocking a seat on the walk or being a credit but still
holds on to the money. - And creating a new booking against the relevant member or guest and adjusting the order price down
by the amount being transferred in the first step.
