Rate Period Code Table

Code tables allow a user to setup a list of pre-determined data which can be allocated within the system.

Different rate types can be allocated to accommodation units. Each rate type has an associated currency and a Rate Period. Allocating a rate period enables users to setup different rates at different times of the year. For example: 01 Jan 2003 to 31 Mar 2003 could be ‘low season’ and therefore require a different rate than 01 April 2003 to 31 December 2003.

Allocating Periods to an accommodation rate type is applied on the Property-Rates tab. Where a rate type changes (i.e. a different rate period is applied) on the calendar, the system administrator can select to automatically split the itinerary item and apply the different rate types or to apply the first rate type.

To Add a Record:

Click the New button on the toolbar, the New button on the toolbar becomes impressed (to indicate you are in new mode) and the cursor focus is placed on the first field in the edit area.

When the record is populated in the edit area, click the Edit button on the toolbar. Edit the information as required and click Save on the toolbar to update the changes (the record is saved and returned to the list).

Note: Use the TAB key and SHIFT+TAB to move the cursor between fields in the edit area.

To Save a Record:

After editing or creating a new record, click the Save button on the toolbar to save the changes. The record will be added to the list and the edit area will return to New mode for the next record to be created or you can select an existing record from the list for editing.

To Delete a Record:

Select the record from the list (the record becomes populated in the edit area), click the Edit button on the toolbar to access edit-mode. Click the Delete button on the toolbar to delete the record.

Once a period has been allocated in the system it cannot be deleted.
