# Booking cost adjustment

> Give one booking a discount or a surcharge: charge fewer or more days or months than its dates produce, take a percentage off, or move the total by a flat amount. Lower or waive the deposit the same way. The reason is printed on the invoice.

A **booking cost adjustment** changes what one booking is charged, without touching your prices, pricing tiers, or the client's discount. There are three types:

- **Periods:** charge fewer or more days or months than the dates produce. The classic case is a weekend rental picked up on Friday evening: the dates count three days, but you charge two and a half.
- **Percentage:** take a percentage off the booking, for example *−10% for a returning client*, or add one on top.
- **Amount:** move the booking total by a flat sum in your currency, for example *−€50* to match a quote you sent by email.

The adjustment is stored on the booking together with a reason. The booking total, the deposit, the invoice, saved documents, and every later change to the dates, items, or services all use it.

The **security deposit** has an adjustment of its own, with the same types: lower it, raise it, or waive it on one booking without touching the price. See [Adjusting the deposit](#adjusting-the-deposit).

<note>

**Two switches are needed.** The organization turns on **Enable booking cost adjustments** under [Features](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/organization/features#enable-booking-cost-adjustments) and picks which **Adjustment types** staff may use. The member's [permission group](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/organization/accounts/permission-groups) needs **Allow booking cost adjustments**. Both are checked on the server, so an adjustment cannot be sent without them.

</note>

<note>

**Looking for a discount that applies to every booking of a client?** That is a [pricing discount](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts), assigned to the client. Use a booking cost adjustment for a one-off deal on a single booking.

</note>

## Why it matters

Rental prices are counted from dates, but deals are made with people. Without this feature, a manager who promised "half a day off" or "10% off this time" had to edit the total by hand, the invoice showed a price that no longer matched the lines, and moving the dates later recalculated the deal away.

With the adjustment:

- the deal is expressed the way it was agreed: in periods, as a percentage, or as an amount,
- the reason travels with the booking and is **printed on the invoice**,
- later [date changes](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/changing/dates), [item changes](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/changing/items), and [service changes](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/changing/services) keep applying it.

<warning>

**Organizations that used the chargeable period adjustment before September 2026** keep **Charged periods** as their only type. To offer percentages and flat amounts too, open [Features](https://app.requiply.com/settings/org/features), tick **Percentage** and **Flat amount** under **Adjustment types**, and click **Save**. Organizations that turn the feature on for the first time get all three types.

A booking holds **one** adjustment at a time. Switching the type in the editor discards the value but keeps the reason.

## How the adjustment is calculated

### Charged periods

- **Which lines are affected.** Only lines priced **per day** or **per month**, both items and services. Hourly and quote-priced lines keep their price. Services marked **Exclude from discounts** are billed on the real period.
- **Periods from the dates.** Per day counts started 24-hour periods on your organization's local clock: a booking from Friday 18:00 to Monday 10:00 is 64 hours, which is 3 days, and a daylight-saving change in between does not add or remove a day (see [Date & time settings](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/organization/date-and-time#timezone)). Per month counts whole months, with a minimum of one.
- **Charged periods.** Periods from the dates plus the adjustment, in steps of 0.25, rounded to two decimals, and never below 0. There is no upper limit.
- **Pricing tiers.** A fractional period is priced in the [pricing tier](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-tiers) of the period it started. 2.5 days is priced with the tier that applies to day 3.
- **One unit at a time.** The editor only works when every per day or per month item on the booking uses the same type. Items priced per day and per month cannot be adjusted together.

### Percentage and flat amount

Requiply calculates the total in this order:

1. The line prices (with a **Periods** adjustment, if that is the type).
2. The [bundle discount](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/inventory/bundles#how-bundles-are-priced) on the units booked as part of a bundle, when the booking has one.
3. The client's [pricing discount](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) on the discountable part of the booking.
4. The **Percentage** or **Flat amount** adjustment on what remains of the discountable part.

So with a 10% client discount and a −10% adjustment on a $600 rental, the client discount takes $60 off, and the adjustment takes 10% of the remaining $540, which is $54.

- Services marked **Exclude from discounts** are never reduced by a percentage or an amount.
- A reduction can never take the discountable part below zero.
- A flat amount has no upper limit.
- Goods sold on the booking ([Sell items on a booking](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/sell-items)) are never adjusted. They are added after the adjustment, at their own price.

## Adding an adjustment when creating a booking

On [Add booking](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/add-booking#adjusting-the-price-or-the-deposit), members with the permission get an **Adjustments:** row under the booking dates, above **Payment method**, with two buttons:

- **Price** opens the **Price adjustment** dialog for the booking cost.
- **Deposit** opens the **Deposit adjustment** dialog. It appears once the booking has a deposit, see [Adjusting the deposit on one booking](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/payments-and-documents/money-on-a-booking#adjusting-the-deposit-on-one-booking).

Both buttons stay disabled until items and both dates are picked, because the dialog needs a price to work from.

<figure>

![The lower part of the Add booking form in dark mode, under the pickup and return time pills. Box 1 marks the Adjustments: heading with two outlined buttons with pencils: Price, carrying a green -10% tag, and Deposit, carrying an orange $7.99 tag. Below them sits the Payment method dropdown set to Pay in person, then the Client section. On the right, the booking preview for Rode Procaster and Rode PSA1 from 11/9/2026 09:00 to 11/12/2026 18:00 (4 days); box 2 marks its Percentage adjustment row reading −$8.88 (−10%) with an info icon, between Equipment $88.80 and Rental total $79.92. Under Total to pay $79.92 a Deposit adjustment row reads −$7.99 (−50%) and the deposit $7.99](https://requiply.com/docs/assets/booking/adjustment/add-buttons.png)<figcaption>

**1** The **Price** and **Deposit** buttons show the adjustment that is set. **2** The preview lists the adjustment row before **Rental total**.

</figcaption>
</figure>

1. Select the items and the dates.
2. Click **Price**.
3. If your organization allows more than one type, pick **Periods**, **Percentage**, or **Amount**. With a single type, the editor for that type is shown with no picker.
4. Set the value:

  - **Periods:** the tag shows what the dates produce, for example *3 days · 64 h*. Change **Charged days** (or **Charged months**) with the stepper, or use a preset: **−¼**, **−½**, or **−1**. A tag shows the difference, green for a reduction and orange for a surcharge.
  - **Percentage:** type a value from −100 to 100, or use **−5%**, **−10%**, or **−15%**.
  - **Amount:** type the sum in your currency. Use a minus sign for a reduction.
5. Enter a **Reason**, for example *Returning client, third booking this month*. Up to 500 characters. It is printed on the invoice.
6. Check the figures at the bottom of the dialog: **Without adjustment**, the adjustment amount, and **New total**. They come from the server, so they match what the booking will store.
7. Click **Apply**. The **Price** button now carries the adjustment, for example *−10%*, and the booking preview shows it.
8. Click **Create booking**.

To remove the adjustment, open the dialog again and click **Reset**. The adjustments also reset when you switch between **Start from items** and **Start from dates**.

In the preview's price summary the adjustment is one row with the money first and what you entered in brackets, for example **Percentage adjustment** *−$54.00 (−10%)*. When there is a reason, an info icon next to the row shows it on hover. A **Periods** adjustment also changes the **Chargeable period** row at the top of the preview.

## Changing the adjustment on an existing booking

The adjustment is changed in the same dialog, right on the booking page. There are two ways to open it:

- The pencil next to the booking total in the summary card (**Adjust the price**).
- The pencil in the **Booking cost adjustment** row of the details card.

The summary card shows a stored adjustment under the total, for example *−$27.63 (−10%)*, with an info icon for the reason. The **Booking cost adjustment** row shows the same line, or *No adjustment*. The pencils and the row are visible only to members with the permission, while the feature is on and the booking can still be changed.

<figure>

![The page of booking #39 for Chloe Turner in dark mode. In the Payment part of the summary card, box 1 marks the total $79.92 with a pencil beside it. Box 2 marks the line under it: Percentage adjustment −$8.88 (−10%) in green with an info icon; the mouse is over the icon and its tooltip shows the reason Returning client. Below, the pending Pay in person payment, Amount due $79.92, and the Deposit amount $7.99 with its own pencil and a Deposit adjustment line −$7.99 (−50%)](https://requiply.com/docs/assets/booking/adjustment/detail-row.png)<figcaption>

**1** The pencil next to the total opens the **Price adjustment** dialog. **2** The stored adjustment, with its reason behind the info icon.

</figcaption>
</figure>

1. Click a pencil. The **Price adjustment** dialog opens with the stored adjustment.
2. Change the type, the value, or the reason.
3. About a third of a second after each change, Requiply prices the new value on the server. Availability and working hours are not checked, because the dates do not change.
4. Read the figures: **Without adjustment**, the adjustment amount, and **New total**. Above them a note says what happens to payments, for example *The unpaid pay-on-pickup balance will be updated to $260.90.*, or a warning explains why the change cannot be saved.
5. Click **Apply**. Requiply shows *Adjustment saved* and the booking page updates. **Reset** removes the adjustment and saves right away. **Cancel** closes the dialog without changes.

<figure>

Box 2 marks the blue note The unpaid pay-on-pickup balance will be updated to $75.48. Box 3 marks the figures: Without adjustment $88.80, Price adjustment −$13.32 in green, New total $75.48.

**1** Type, value, and reason. **2** What happens to the payment balance. **3** The total before and after, priced by the server.

</figcaption>
</figure>

Payments are adjusted exactly as on [Edit booking dates](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/changing/dates#how-the-financials-are-recalculated): an unpaid pay-on-pickup balance is replaced, an online payment link is replaced or supplemented, and a new total below what has already been paid is blocked until you refund the difference. This also applies to completed bookings: the total and the payment balance are always recalculated here.

Every change made here posts an automatic comment on the booking, in your organization's language, for example *Booking cost adjustment changed: -10% → -15% (Returning client, third booking this month)*. Periods are written as a plain number (*0 → -0.5*) and amounts without the currency. Creating a booking with an adjustment does not post a comment.

Goods sold on the booking are never adjusted: a −10% applies to the rental, and the **Sold items** row is added after the rental total at full price.

### When the type is no longer offered

If your organization later unticks the type a booking uses, for example **Flat amount**, the booking keeps its adjustment and it stays in force. The dialog shows it read-only with the hint *This adjustment type is no longer offered in your organization. The adjustment stays in force until you replace or reset it.* Click **Replace** to switch to an allowed type (the reason is kept), or **Reset** to remove it.

## Adjusting the deposit

The deposit has its own adjustment, separate from the price: lower it for a trusted client, waive it with **No deposit**, or raise it. It uses the same feature switch, permission, and types, and opens from the **Deposit** button on Add booking or the pencil next to the deposit on the booking page. See [Adjusting the deposit on one booking](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/payments-and-documents/money-on-a-booking#adjusting-the-deposit-on-one-booking).

## In the mobile app

The mobile app offers both adjustments while creating a booking and on an existing booking.

**While creating a booking:**

1. On the **Confirm** step, members with the permission see two chips, **Price** and **Deposit**.
2. Tap one to open the **Price adjustment** or **Deposit adjustment** screen. With more than one allowed type, pick **Periods**, **Percent**, or **Amount** at the top.

  - **Periods:** **From the dates**, the **Charged days** or **Charged months** stepper in 0.25 steps, and the **−¼ / −½ / −1** presets.
  - **Percent** and **Amount:** a minus/plus toggle for the direction, then the value. Percent has the **−5% / −10% / −15%** presets for the price and **−25% / −50% / No deposit** for the deposit.
3. Enter the **Reason** and check the before and after figures.
4. Tap **✓** to apply, or **✕** to close without changes.

**On a booking:** the total and the deposit at the top of the booking screen carry a pencil, and the actions menu has **Adjust price** and **Adjust deposit**. A stored adjustment shows as one line under the figure; tap the info icon to read the reason.

## On the invoice and in documents

- **Periods:** line totals already include the adjustment, and a summary row explains it: **Chargeable period adjustment (Early pickup Friday evening): −0.5 days**. The unit reads months only when every line on the booking is priced per month.
- **Percentage** and **Flat amount:** a row after the client discount and before **Rental total** shows the amount: **Booking cost adjustment (−10%) (Returning client): −$14.69**. A flat amount has no percentage in brackets. **Subtotal** is printed whenever the booking has an adjustment.
- [Custom export templates](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/automations/export-templates) can print the adjustment with three macros. They are not in the variable picker, so type them by hand:

## Through the API and the AI assistant

The [public API](https://requiply.com/docs/en/developers/typescript-sdk/bookings#booking-cost-adjustment) and the [MCP tool](https://requiply.com/docs/en/ai/mcp) `bookings_manage` accept one adjustment when creating a booking or asking for a quote:

```json
"adjustment": { "type": "percent", "value": -10, "reason": "Returning client" }
```

`type` is `units` (periods), `percent`, or `amount`. The value is signed: negative discounts, positive surcharges. Only **secret** API keys may send it, the key's permission group needs **Allow booking cost adjustments**, and only the types your organization enabled are accepted. Publishable keys and the website widget never can.

A **deposit adjustment** cannot be sent through the public API or the MCP tool yet. Set it in the web or mobile app.

## Turning the feature off

Switching **Enable booking cost adjustments** off hides the **Adjustments:** buttons, the pencils, the **Booking cost adjustment** and **Deposit adjustment** rows, and those rows in [Detail page fields](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/fields/detail-page-fields). Adjustments already saved on bookings **keep applying**: totals, invoices, documents, and later date, item, or service changes still use them, and the invoice still prints the adjustment row.

## Common scenarios

### Half a day off for a Friday evening pickup

A client picks up a camera kit on Friday at 18:00 and returns it on Monday at 10:00. The dates produce 3 days. On Add booking, click **Price**, pick **Periods**, press **−½**, enter *Early pickup Friday evening*, and create the booking. The client pays for 2.5 days, and the invoice explains why.

### 10% off for a returning client

A regular client books for the third time this month and you promise 10% off, just this once. Click **Price**, pick **Percentage**, press **−10%**, enter *Returning client*, click **Apply**, and create the booking. The percentage is taken after their usual pricing discount, if they have one.

### Matching a price you quoted by email

You quoted a client €450 for a package that Requiply prices at €500. Click **Price**, pick **Amount**, enter **−50**, and add the reason *Price as quoted on 12 September*.

### A late return that costs an extra day

A client returns a projector six hours late. Open the booking, click the pencil next to the total, pick **Periods**, raise **Charged days** by 1, enter *Late return*, and click **Apply**. The unpaid balance is updated to the new total.

### Half the deposit for a regular client

On the booking, click the pencil next to the deposit, pick **Percentage**, press **−50%**, and click **Apply**. The price stays as it is. See [Deposits](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/bookings/payments-and-documents/money-on-a-booking#adjusting-the-deposit-on-one-booking).

## Tips and cautions

<tip>

**Tip:** Always fill in the reason. It is the only explanation the client sees on the invoice, and the only record of why the total is different.

</tip>

<warning>

**Heads up:** A **Periods** adjustment is counted in periods, and a **Percentage** in percent, so both grow in money when you add items later. A **Flat amount** stays the same whatever you add.

</warning>
