A Child Rate is linked to a 'Parent Rate' for ease of maintenance. By having a Child Rate set as a + or – percentage (%) from a Parent Rate, one can easily manage rate tiers automatically. As the Parent Rate increases or decreases on a give day or week(s) the Child Rate automatically does so in proportion. This is commonly used for CORP (corporate) and AAA rates, for example, which are always 10% off the RACK (default) rates for a room. Use Child Rates to simplify how many rates you need to create and manage on an ongoing basis.
