Accommodation rates are setup on the property-rates tab (of the property the accommodation is linked to). Multiple rates can be allocated to accommodation, each rate is made up of:
Rate Type
Rate type is the name of a rate, with an associated currency, that is allocated to users
Rate types available on the public calendar can be setup on the default table
Setup agent rate types on the respective agent role (on the Contact module)
A user can apply an allocated rate to the calendar (or reservation) to generate a quotation when an itinerary is created
When the user changes the rate type the Rate column updates with the appropriate rates
Every rate type has a currency linked to it (rates types and its associated currency is setup on the rate type code table)
Multiple rate types can be allocated to a property
Rate Period
Rate types can be allocated to different rate periods (rate periods are setup in the Rate Period code table), ensuring that rate changes for low and peak seasons can be setup differently
The Rate Types Summary is displayed on the calendar indicating when rate periods change for each property displayed (this is the same button available on the Property Functions area)
When a user creates an itinerary item across a rate period, the item is either based on the first rate applied or is split into multiple items (each with a different rate applied), this rule is setup by the system administrator on the default table
Setup the rate variation rule on the default table
Rate components
Each accommodation rate is comprised of separate items called rate components, this enables components
to be consolidated into one amount on the proforma invoice, but separated on the final invoice (for
accounting purposes) as well as applying individual attributes to each component
Rate component attributes: Each rate component can have different attributes applied,
for example: 'apply commission to this component', or 'this component is a per unit charge' where
other components can be a 'per person' charge
