Banqueting Packages

This page explained the new banqueting packages feature that is introduced in PMPRO version 10.2. The banqueting packages feature of PMPRO version 10.1 is explained on the banqueting blocks page.

To plan every aspect of your conference and banqueting reservations, you can add any number of banqueting items to the banqueting section of a reservation. Banqueting items can be added one at a time, or multiple items in one step as a part of a banqueting block or banqueting package. A configuration example is provided on the Banqueting Configuration page.

Banqueting Block: contains multiple banqueting items. If you add a block to a reservation, the system will automatically add all items that are part of that block.
Banqueting Package: contains multiple banqueting blocks. If you add a package to a reservation, the system will automatically add all items that are contained in all the blocks that are part of the package.

More information about the logic behind banqueting blocks and packages is provided on the banqueting configuration page.
