Copy Product

This button enables all information to be copied from an existing product to a new product. The menu options in the product can then be used to edit only the details that vary; e.g. some or all of the rates.

This can be used, for example, when a Hotel offers 3 different standards of accommodation. Enter the full details for say ROH – Run of House and then use this utility to copy those details to new products (EXCFLR – Executive Floor, HRBRVU – Harbour View).

Copy a Product
