Rate Type added Successfully. The window stays open for the next one. The system already has RACK, the base rate type.

Common problems

  • Record Already Exist. Duplicate name.
  • You cannot delete the base rate type or one used by an in-house stay or active business source.
  • To make a rate type follow another by a percentage, use Rate Type Binding (page #/setup/rate-type-binding).
  • Messages: Configuration messages.
