All changes to Rates and Restrictions are made in SETUP | RATES | MANAGE RATES.

The Manage Restrictions (Only) function is an optional setting and is enabled in SETUP | SETTINGS | GENERAL SETTINGS. The feature must be set to "Yes" under the "Child Rate Restrictions" field to make Manage Restrictions check box function visible under under Manage Rates. For instructions on how to enable Manage Restrictions, see General Settings  

Using the "Manage Restrictions" function allows you to display ONLY the Restrictions for a Single Rate Plan and change the Restrictions for multiple Rate Plans at the same time.

Although Restrictions can also be changed using Manage Single Rate, the "Manage Restrictions" function makes it easy to change ONLY Restrictions.

This function can be used for both Parent and Child Rate Plans, however Child Rate Plans will only appear in the drop down menu when "Manage Restrictions" box is checked.

  • "Arrivals" effectively closes the Rate Plan and makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable to arrival on the channel the Rate Plan is allocated to I.e. website, GDS and Front desk.
  • "Closed" makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable for  arrival and/or stay-overs, meaning availability is completely closed on the channel the Rate Plan is allocated to I.e. website, GDS and Front desk.

Examples

Closed to Arrival- Using the "Arrival" Restriction

Closed to Booking - Using the "Closed" Restriction

a Single Rate Plan

In this example, we want to adjust restrictions for all of our Rate Plans during the Summer months.

To do this, select all of the Rate Plans in the "Select Rate" drop down list. Choose the date range - June 1- August 31, 2017 and click display rates. For this time period, we want to have a MINLOS for all weekends and Closed to Arrival on all Saturdays (meaning no bookings can be made to arrive on a Saturday, but remains available to stay-overs)

In this example, we want to offer an August Booking Special. All bookings made for stay in August will get the discounted rate.

To do this, select the Rate Plan in the "Select Rate" drop down list. To close the rate plan to availability for all months except August, choose the date range from today's date through July 30 and click display rates. Check the "Closed" Box for each day and click Save. Then, change the date range to September 1- Dec. 2019 or a date in the future and repeat the steps. This closes availability for stay for all months except August.
