To allocate multiple Rate Plans to one Room Type to your Front Desk, GDS or website. Go to Setup | Relationships | Agent Relationships Use the 'allocation' method to allocate a % of your rooms, at specific Rates, to each Agent. See Add Agent Allocations. - Room Type and Rate allocations can be customized to each agent, however there are three agents that MUST have all ROOM TYPES allocated.

- Agent MyPMS (The rooms and rates that your logged in users 'see' when using MyPMS):
- Agent WR (The Global Booking Network) and stop sending all rooms, or send unique rates through distribution:

A Room Type is a package; it has a description, picture, maximum guest capacity and rate. A Room Type may be a common description for a number of Rooms, or it may represent a single room. When creating a Room Type you must provide the Room Type ID, the default Rate ID, the number of Rooms that belong in that type, the room class, the number of Bedrooms and the Maximum number of Guests. We encourage you to provide accurate full room and view descriptions as this information is available during online & GDS bookings.
*When you add or remove a room type remember to modify your agent allocations so it's available to the desired channels. For more information see the Agent Allocations section of the setup area. |
