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

All changes to Rates and Restrictions are made in SETUP | RATES | MANAGE RATES. The "Manage Restrictions" function allows you change the Restrictions for multiple Rate Plans at the same time. making it easy to change ONLY Restrictions for more than one Rate Plan at a time..

Remember, if you select multiple Rate Plans, then the restrictions will change for all of the rates selected and are updated to all of the channels you have the Parent or Child Rate allocated to. For example, when "Closed" is checked for a specific date, then it will be unavailable for arrival for that Rate on your website, GDS/OTA Channels.

In order for a Rate Plan to appear in the "Select Rates" drop-down list, a Default Rate Plan must first be set up. Once a Parent or Child Rate Plan is set up, it will appear in the list and restrictions can be adjusted.

To change the Rate Restrictions for a single Rate Plan, go Single Rate Restrictions

To view the Rate Restrictions entered for all of your Rate Plans, go to the Rate Grid
