Apply Special Rates - Weekday/Weekend

As an example, for this service, a different rate applies to room rates during Week Day stays Monday - Thursday. This, by default, means that a different rate applies during Friday - Sunday stays.

NOTE:   If a weekend/weekday (or any type of special rate) applies across all date ranges/price codes for the product, it is easier to create both the standard rate and the special rate when setting up the first date range/price code. This means that all rates for the first date range can to be copied to new date ranges. This also means that only the rates themselves will have to be edited per date range – not the entire special rates created for each new date range.

There are four stages to setting up different rates for different days of the week (there is no fixed order for carrying out the steps; they are numbered simply for convenience):

  1. Edit the name of the rate to reflect what it is.
  2. Edit the days of the week for which the rate is valid.
  3. Edit the affected rate.
  4. Setup another rate and name to cater for the days when the rate is standard.

Enter Weekend/Weekday or Special Rates in the Same Price Code

  1. Make sure at least one rate has already been added (see Add a Rate).
  2. Open the rate you wish to edit by clicking its Rate Period line in the list of rates.
  3. On the Date Range screen, switch to the tab and change the name of the rate in the Rate Name field to reflect what it is and also check the days of the week for which it applies.

  4. Switch to the tab and edit the rate values so that they are accurate for the days selected.

  5. On either the Rates or Rate Set tab, click .

  6. Open the tab and enter the name of the new rate set to reflect what it is and also check the days of the week for which it applies.

  7. Switch to the tab and edit the rate values so that they are accurate for the days selected.

  8. Click to keep the changes.

  9. Click to discard any changes.

NOTE:

You can see the different rates that apply for different days of the week (in this example) simply by clicking the left or right above the Insert Rate Set button.

Alternatively the drop-down menu selection will provide a list of available Rate Sets.

Multiple rates within the same date range/price code must have a differentiating factor; e.g. different days of the week, or different Min/Max stays etc. There cannot be multiple rates for the same days or min/max stay values within the same date range/price code. A save is not permitted if a conflict exists.
