Pricing settings

Pricing settings are workspace-level defaults that apply to every new itinerary. You can override any of them per-trip.

Default markup

The markup percent applied when an itinerary doesn't specify its own. Most operators set this between 15% and 30%.

If you sell net (no markup, supplier-paid commission), set to 0.

Reporting currency

The currency you quote clients in. Most safari operators use USD or EUR.

Rate cards can be in any currency. When the engine sums an itinerary, each line is converted to the reporting currency using the workspace FX rates.

FX rates

You can either:

Pin manual FX rates (recommended for stability). Set USD/TZS, USD/EUR, etc. once a month or once a quarter. Quotes stay consistent within a price book period.
Use live rates (off by default). Pulls daily mid-market rates from a provider. Quotes can fluctuate between yesterday and today.

For most operators, pinned rates are safer. Surprises in FX are rarely surprises clients enjoy.

Rounding

How the final selling price is rounded.

None. Show two decimal places.
Whole units. Round to the nearest 1.
Nearest 10. Round to the nearest 10 for cleaner-looking numbers.
Nearest 100. Cleaner still, common for luxury operators selling in USD.

Rounding only affects the displayed total. Internal line calculations stay precise.

Most safari quotes are tax-inclusive of VAT, so Ratiba doesn't add VAT on top by default. If you need to display VAT separately, contact support — we have an advanced VAT toggle that's not on the standard UI.

Default inclusions and exclusions

You can set workspace-wide default inclusions ("All park fees", "Mineral water in vehicle") and exclusions ("International flights", "Visa fees", "Optional gratuities"). These pre-fill every new itinerary and you can edit per trip.

These show on the proposal as standardized lists, so clients see consistent messaging across every quote.
