Extend Rates

This utility will add a new Date Range and insert prices into the new date range based on the selections and choices made. As an example, all accommodation suppliers who have not given rates beyond 31 December 25 are going to have 5% added to all rates, extend them to 30 September 25 and set them as ‘Provisional’.

The ‘Extend Rate’ utility cannot be used to extend an existing date range which already has another date range immediately following it. In this case, the date range(s) have to be split - see Splitting Date range
The utility can be run once for all price codes. Modify Rates can be run to apply the mark-ups per price code. This is easier than trying to maintain the relativity of the markup (12.50% for T1, 17.50% for T2 and 22.50% for T3) over any existing rates. Note the settings may have Change Groups Sell and Change FITs Sell have been set to 0.00 MUP%. This means that all four price codes will be created, and all will have 0.00 markup, which can then easily be changed using ‘Modify Rates’.

It is not possible to "extend" an existing date range simply by changing the end date. The only way a date range can be extended is to add a new range with the start date being the first date after the current expiry, and the end date being the date entered in the Extend Rates screen.
