How can I set a discount depending on the time the booking is made ( -20% for bookings made in the period 01.11.2016 – 30.11.2016)?

You can setup a new RATE with discounted prices and use the 'Min Days until Check-in' and 'Max days in advance' .

Check the context (?) help and the HELP (top right menu) https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Category:Rates , for more information.

The problem is that this discount is depending not on the check in date, but on the booking date.

It is valid for any check in date under the condition the booking is made between 01.11.2016 and 30.11.2016.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion!

There are a few options, all of them require you to 'Deactivate' the discount at the end of the period :-

If you are sending out information to your clients you could create a Discount code, that they MUST use when completing the booking to get the 20% discount. You will need to remove the Discount code on the date that it is no longer available as they do not expire.

You can create a mandatory UPSELL item (with -20) as the value. Then go to your RATES and in the UPSELL tab 'tick' the item, but again you will need to remember to remove the UPSELL item at the end of the period. The UPSELL discount will be visible on the Booking info page (after they click BOOK)

You can create a new 'Special' RATE (20% reduction) on your first date with first night & last night as you require (2018 etc), set Strategy = Do Not Allow Any other Rates, make available to all Rooms, and then at the end of the month, change the Last night = 30/11/2016 so it can no longer be used.
