How to Set Rate Plan Commission Rules

1.Click on the Rate Plans link.

2.Click on the Commissions link.

The existing commission rules appear in a list.

3.To create a commission rule, click on Add.

4.To modify a commission rule, select it in the list.

5.Specify the intermediaries to which the rule applies.

Travel agents and other intermediaries are identified by their IATA or TIDS number.

6.Select the rate plans to which the rule applies.

Commission rules that are not linked to specific rate plans apply to all the rate plans of the property.

Note:     Commission rules should always apply to amounts that do not include taxes. If the commission rule is applied to an amount including taxes, the calculation for the commission is still based on the tax-excluded amount.

7.Set the period for the commission rule, if required.

For more information about periods, see What Are Rate Plan Periods? .

8.Select the commission type and value.

Commissions can be set as percentages or as flat amounts, per stay or per day.

If the commission is defined as a flat amount per day, the global commission can be capped by setting a maximum commission or maximum number of days.

9.Set the commission rule as non-overridable, if required.

The non-overridable attribute is used to set a priority between commission rules defined for a specific rate plan and those defined for travel agents for all the rate plans of the property. By setting a rate plan-specific commission rule as non-overridable, you ensure that the commission set for the rate plan is the same for all intermediaries.
