Use the following procedure to define custom price calculations on resources and services.

By default, GoMeddo executes the Default Price Calculation. You can overwrite this behavior by implementing your own price calculation. This article explains how to do that.

1. Create your custom price calculator class

Create a class that implements the interface B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPrice. Implementing that interface means the class must have a method with the following signature:

void calculate(B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceData)

This method will be called whenever a reservation is saved, or whenever the reservation form gets re-rendered. You can control when the reservation form gets re-rendered, more on that in a bit. The B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceData object that gets passed along to the calculate method has two properties that will help you to make your own price calculation.

Name	Type	Purpose

Name	Type	Purpose
reservation	B25__Reservation__c	Contains the reservation as it is at the moment the calculate method is called. It will have all the fields populated that are visible on the reservation form.
serviceCosts	Decimal	Contains the service costs as shown on the reservation form when you have the setting 'Services have a price' enabled.

In the calculate method you will be able to set any fields on the reservation property record, such as the B25__Subtotal__c field, in order to control the final price of the reservation, or to start an approval process.

For the official documentation on how to write classes and how to implement interfaces go to: Salesforce Developers

Make sure your class is global, so that GoMeddo can instantiate it. See the code sample below.

2. Activate the custom price calculator class

Now, let GoMeddo know that it should use your custom class instead of the default price calculation

To do this:

Go to Setup
Search for Custom Settings
Click Manage next to System Setting
Click New
Name the record Reservation Price Calculator Class, and for String Value enter the name of your custom price calculator class

As long as this setting exists, GoMeddo will execute the calculate method every time the reservation form gets rerendered or when the reservation is saved.

3. (Optional) Control which fields trigger the calculation

By default, the following Reservation fields trigger the calculation whenever their value changes: Start, End, Base Price, Calculation Method, and Quantity. If you want to change which fields trigger the calculation, create a class that implements the interface B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceFields. Implementing that interface means the class must have a method with the following signature:

Set<String> getDependantFieldNames(B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceData)

To let GoMeddo know about the existence of the class, either place it in the same class as your custom price calculator class or create a new custom setting just as in step 2, except this time name the new record Reservation Price Fields Class. For String Value enter the name of the class you created.

If you are using the external GoMeddo Widget to trigger custom price calculations, only the default fields will be passed.

Sample Code

The sample code below adds the account field as one of the fields triggering calculation, besides all the default fields.

Then, in the actual calculation method, it sets the price to zero if the linked account is an Installation Partner.

global class MyCalculation implements B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPrice, B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceFields {
    
    public Set<String> getDependantFieldNames(B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceData data) {
        return new Set<String>{
        	'B25__Account__c',
            'B25__StartLocal__c',
        	'B25__EndLocal__c',
            'B25__Base_Price__c',
        	'B25__Quantity__c',
            'B25__Calculation_Method__c'
        };
    }

    public void calculate(B25.Util_PluginManager.ReservationPriceData data) {
        if (data.reservation.B25__Account__c == null) {
            return;
        }
        Account linkedAccount = [
            SELECT Type
            FROM Account
            WHERE Id = :data.reservation.B25__Account__c
        ];
        if (linkedAccount.Type == 'Installation Partner') {
            data.reservation.B25__Subtotal__c = 0;
        }
    }
}
