How to book a tandem / tridem on a first / last position with a suborder that contains the setting first / last position?
With a Suborder that contains the setting 'first position' or 'last position' in the fields 'Position' and 'Position paid' in the tab 'Booking Settings', it can seem that it is not possible to book a tandem / tridem on a first or last position, respectively. Regardless of the actual availability of a spot with a fixed first or last position in the break, the following error message is thrown in the Booking cockpit: 'Booking not allowed, because the break already contains a spot with the same corner positions as the current suborder.' This is thus also the case for completely empty breaks. It is in this case possible to book a tandem / tridem with a suborder that contains the setting 'first / last position' (so either of the two corner positions, which in this case are actually booked both (for tandems: first spot on first position, reminder on last position)).
However, it is also possible to book a tandem / tridem on a first or last position with a Suborder that contains slightly changed settings for first position or last position. In this article is explained how.
Go to GeneralSettings > Ctrl. Values Price > Break Positions and create a new Break Position (e.g. First position - Tandem). Click on the '+' symbol in the field 'Position' to create a separate positioning for tandems / tridems. In the screenshot example, this has already been done.
In the new positioning for, in this case, First position - Tandem, the preferred positions can be selected (e.g. Position1 and Position 3).
A Suborder to which the new positioning is saved in the field 'Position' and 'Position paid' can now be booked on, in this case, a first position (and third position).
