The Default Rates area displays a list of all of the Rate Plans you have created for your property. Here you can create a new Rate Plan and modify the characteristics Description of an existing Rate Plan, but any actual Rate changes must be done in Manage Rates.

Create as many Rate Plans as needed and then allocate these Rate Plans to Room Types or Packagesin the specific channel that you want to offer the Room Type/Rate Plan allocation ( see Manage Agent Relationships). Although each Room Type can only be assigned one default Rate Plan in the Room Type List (see  Room Types),  multiple Rate Plans can be allocated to the same Room Type for seasonal rates and promotions. See Agent Relationships and Promotions

When setting up a default Rate, think about the different  Room Types you offer and how the rate plans will apply .Once this default Rate is entered, you can manage rate changes and length-of-stay options in Manage Rates. After you have set up the Rate Plans,  create the Room Types to associate with the default Rates. 

There are two types of Default Rates:

• Single Parent Rate: A Parent Rate Plan is setup with unique Restrictions that is managed independently in Manage Rates.Add Single Parent Rate
• Child Rate Plan: A Child Rate is a rate plan that is setup under a Parent Rate Plan and "linked" to the Rate of the Parent Rate Plans. Any Child Rate can be allocated to your front desk or website in Agent Allocations. By creating a Child Rate with a positive or negative percentage (%) linked to a Parent Rate, you can easily manage rate tiers automatically. Child Rates are typically used to give automatic discounts for special rates like AAA or to increase rates to individual channels like OTA or Agents. Add Child Rate

Use the "Group" field in the Default Rate Plan to group or categorize your Rate Plans for easier management and selection at the Front Desk when making a Group Booking or using "Booking by Inquiry" to create an individual Booking.
