What Is Rate Plan Activation?

Rate plans are only available to the system and usable for bookings if they are active.

In order to activate a rate plan, there must be:

At least one default policy defined on an open period that applies to all room types. See Creating Policies .

At least one room type of the rate plan with a default rule amount defined on an open period for all the days of the week and for an adult guest type.

Once activated, a rate plan cannot be sold unless at least one viewership rule has been associated to the rate plan in order to make it available through a distribution channel. See Creating Viewership Rules .

A rate plan that has not been activated is displayed with the other rate plans but cannot be used to sell products.
