What Is the Rate Plans Module?

The Rate Plans module allows you to design and manage rate plans at brand level or property level.

At brand level: You can:

•Create centrally-defined property rate plans.

•Search for property rate plans.

•Create and manage templates to simplify the creation of individual rate plans or provide different properties under a brand with a similar framework.

•Create default prices for services.

At property level: You can:

•Create and manage saleable rate plans, which can be standalone or inherited from a template.

•Create and manage rate plan templates.

•Create commission rules that define how commissions given to intermediaries are managed.

•Create tax and fee rules that are applied to all products sold in a property.

•Create default prices for the services sold in the property.

•Set the tier model that determines how discounts apply automatically according to variations in global property occupancy.

•Compare rate plans.

At property level, you can also use the Rate Planning feature to compare existing rate plans and monitor how your rate plans cover your needs. For information about this feature, see How to Use Rates Planning .
