Please refer to the Introduction to peak list article if you are unfamiliar with peak lists.

Example Scenario: Public holidays

In the scenario that a surcharge is applied on public holidays, FBO One can automatically apply these price changes using peak lists. In this exercise we will look at how the system transitions from an already created generic peak list e.g Day vs Night surcharge to a public holiday and back to a generic peak list.

• The generic peak list applied is:

  • 'Night' period  weekdays between 19:00 to 06:00 LT

  • 'Weekend' period on Saturday/Sunday. 
    
    

• The public holidays to be applied are:

  • 01-January

  • 01-May
  • 14-July
  • 25-December

Step 1 - Create the 'Public Holidays' peak list item.

1. Use the menu search box to navigate to the 'Peak lists' administration page.
2. Locate and select the relevant peak list e.g Handling Surcharge.
3. Select 'Add new' to create the first 'Public holiday' period..
   
4. Once the peak list definition is created and selected the option to create a new 'List item' will be available.
   For the purpose of public holidays the
   • 'Starts at day of week' should always be zero (0).
   • 'Starts at time of day (LT)' should always be midnight (00:00)
   • 'Peak category value' should be 'Public Holiday' or the value defined in your system.
     
5. Be sure to 'Save' your work.

Step 2 - Create a peak list to revert back to a non public holiday peak list.

1. The simplest way to approach this is to use the 'copy' feature which will replicate the copied peak list and values which will minimise the setup effort. Be sure to copy the correct peak list.
   
2. Once copied 'Edit' the 'Valid from date' to be the day after the public holiday period i.e 01-Jan-24.
   
3. Be sure to 'Save' your work.
