Scroll to the very right hand side of the table listing all the booking extras associated with this property.
You will see Select Dates instead of the drop downs with all the months. Click Select Dates

When you are now adding an Admin booking or the guest is booking on your website or via a channel the Sunday Supplement will be added only to bookings where the arrival day is a Sunday.
