Set up and manage your own Rates

If you have opted to set up and manage your own rates, start with this tutorial as a guide to the Rate creation process.

Creating your own rates requires you to understand, setup or carry out the following:

• Understanding the Rate dimensions.
• Interpreting your own Rate sheet.
• Set up the relevant Code tables which are needed to create a Rate.
• Add a new Rate.
• View and edit existing Rates using the Rate sheet.
• Editing Rates.
• Checking your Rates.
  

Rate dimensions

Your Rate amount in ResRequest can be defined for the combination of the following:

• Accommodation type
  A property room type, e.g. “Baobab Lodge – Luxury Suite”.
• Quantity
  Number of pax of a particular rate group in a room, e.g. you can have a different rate for sharing, singles or 3rd adult in a room.
• Rate group
  A group of guests for which a rate may be defined, e.g. Adult, Child 12-17, Child <12, Tour Guide.
• Rate type
  e.g. Rack rate, STO rate, Complimentary.
• Period
  e.g. High Season.

Bear these dimensions in mind when interpreting your own Rate sheet in preparation for your Rate setup in ResRequest. Some of these dimensions are Code tables.

Code tables setup

The following code tables are used to create a Rate and need to be set up before creating any Rates. Click through to each Code table tutorial to learn how to setup each one:

• Rate period
• Rate type
• Rate component
• Tax rate (for rates subject to tax charges)
• Tax group (for components which are subject to multiple taxes / levies)
• Rate group

Once your code table setup is done, follow the other tutorials to learn how to interpret your Rates, then create Rates on the Add Rate screen and view, edit and check your Rates using the Rate sheet.
