How do I change the room rate for one date?
Short answer
Open Pricing & Availability > Rate Manager, pick the rate type, click the rate cell of the room type and date, type the new Rate in the Edit Rate window and click Save.
Steps
- Open Pricing & Availability > Rate Manager.
- Move to the right dates with the date button and the arrows (Previous Week, Previous Date, Next Date, Next Week); choose 1 Week, 2 Week or 3 Week. Working date jumps back to the PMS date.
- Choose the rate type (for example RACK).
- In the row of the room type click the Base, Adult, Child or Pet rate cell of the date (cells marked Editable; bound cells are marked Binded Rate).
- In the window Edit Rate type the new Rate (two decimals) and click Save.
Quick alternative: Pricing & Availability > Rate & Availability Summary with the Rates layer on; click a rate cell and use Edit Room Rate.
Check the result
Rate updated successfully. The cell shows the new value. New reservations use it; existing reservations keep their saved rate. Future-date changes are pushed to the channel manager automatically (sync).
Common problems
- The cell has a lock: it is derived from a bound room type or rate type (binding). Change the base cell instead.
- Rate:... The rate range for... is Min... Max... Outside the room type limits (change Min Rate / Max Rate in Room Type).
- Invalid rate format. Type digits only.
- Past dates cannot be chosen.
