How to Set Tier Definition Rules

The tier definition rule sets the number of tiers in the model, as well as the maximum and minimum discount limits that can be applied to rates for each tier.

The tier definition rule can be defined both at brand and property level. If a tier definition rule was defined at both levels, then it is the rule defined at property level that applies.

This means that Tier 1 is related to the highest occupancy and the lowest discount. The following tier, Tier 2, will be associated to a lower occupancy and a higher discount, and so on for subsequent tiers.

9.Set the discount limits as a minimum and a maximum discount percentage that can be applied to the standard rates attached to a rate plan.

The percentages set for the minimum and maximum discount limits for the tiers must not overlap.

Note:     The exact discount percentage used for tiers in a rate plan is set in the rate plan tier discount rule within the limits set by the tier definition rule.
