Allotment rates

The Rates window looks pretty much the same as the Rooms window and is used to enter the rates that are to be used for reservations made within the allotment. The reason for this option is that properties with allotments for different travel agents will agree on different rates with only a small variance. Instead of having to create multiple "Bed and Breakfast" rate codes for multiple travel agents, you only have to create one actual rate code which can be attached to each allotment. Within each allotment a different rate can be specified for the selected room types. You may edit and specify rates at any time for as long as the allotment has not been released.

Click on the Arrow down at the Rate category field and/or Rate code field to see a list of available options.

Note.This option is disabled if you have chosen * <any rate code> in step 2.

Rate category

The rate category option allows you to view and modify the rates for one to five adults or child level one to three. The rates that are being displayed are the rates for the combination of the active rate category and rate code. The actual rate entry can be done for all categories at the same time.

Note.To be able to specify children rates, you need to specify the child category parameter on the reservation page in the parameters.

Rate code

The rate code option allows you to view the specified rates per selected rate code. The rates that are being displayed are the rates for the combination of the active rate category and rate code.

Follow the next steps to enter rates:

  1. Select the rate category for which you would like to enter the rates.

  2. Click in the column (on the first date) from the room type for which rates must be entered and hold the mouse button.

  3. Drag the mouse, while holding the button, to make a selection. You may drag in any direction.

  4. Release the mouse button. A rate entry window will pop-up, enter the rates for all adult and child categories and click [OK]. The rates are stored in the allotment and the grid will now display the rates for the selected rate category and rate code.

The allotment has now been create. Click Close to close the allotment window or Previous to go to a previous step.

Note.Although the availability will automatically be updated, it is advisable to rebuild the availability after changes have been made in the number of allocated rooms.
