Information

A Rate Type Package is a Sundry Charge bundle that will be created on the Reservation Account with the Rate.

A Rate Type Package is setup using a Rate Type Property Rule that will override all setup on the Rate Type except the Rate Type Description.

A Rate Type Property Rule includes additional Rate Type Options that can be set per Property.

Package components use the selected Sundry Charge and Package Options to determine how and where package information is displayed and how revenue is allocated.

Packages on a Rate Type with the Rate Structure 'OTA Rate' will have all Package Components set to 'Inclusive' and will apply every Reservation Stay Date using the selected Sundry Charge and Amount to Charge options entered.

Package Options

The following options are available when creating a package component on the Rate Type.

Package Option	Description
Sundry Charge
Show on Account	The selected Sundry Charge for the package component will be created as an individual transaction on the account.
Post to Extras Account	The transaction for the package component will be created on the secondary account and not on the main account where the Rate is created.
Show on To Do Chart	The package component will be displayed on the To Do Chart as a Requirement for the date it applies to a reservation.
Show on Housekeepers Report	The package component will display on the Housekeepers Report as a Requirement.
Post on Next Day	Rate Packages are created on the account with the same transaction date as the Rate Amount. Post on Next Day will create the transaction for the package component on the following day instead.
Make Package Inclusive*	Inclusive Packages deduct revenue from the Base Rate and allocate it to the General Ledger Account Code on the selected Sundry Charge without increasing the overall price of the rate. *Confirm the channel connection's capabilities for accepting inclusive or exclusive packages when using OTA Rates.
Amount to Charge
Per Period Fee	The amount entered for the package component will apply for each period (Hourly, Daily, Nightly) using the Rate Table and Apply Charge options.
Per Person Fee	The amount entered for the package component will be based on the number of Guests on the reservation and will charge based on the Guest Type. The number of each Guest Type included in the Per Person Fee Amount will determine how charges are applied when the number of Guests on the reservation exceed the value entered.
Percentage of Rate	The amount for the package component will be calculated as a percentage of the Base Rate Amount with the option of only applying if the Rate Amount is between a preset bracket.

Inclusive Packages

An Inclusive Package Component deducts the Package Amount from the Rate Amount to allocate revenue without increasing the overall value paid by the Guest.

An Exclusive Package Component will apply the Package Amount on top of the Rate Amount increasing the overall value paid by the Guest.

The checkbox 'Make Package Inclusive' determines if the package component deducts from accommodation revenue or is applied in addition to.

In the below example the Rate Amount (Accommodation) is $100 and the Package (Breakfast) is $25.

Exclusive Package		Inclusive Package
Accommodation	$100	Accommodation	$75
Breakfast	$25	Breakfast	$25
Guest Total:	$125	Guest Total:	$100

In both examples above the $25 for 'Breakfast' is allocated to the General Ledger Account Code on the selected Sundry Charge and only the value of revenue allocated to the 'Accommodation' General Ledger Account Code is affected.

An Inclusive Package Component reduces the portion of revenue allocated to the Rate's General Ledger Account Code to allocate to the package component's General Ledger Account Code.

An Exclusive Package Component bolts on the additional fees without impacting revenue allocated for the Rate's General Ledger Account Code.

A Package Component can be set as 'Inclusive' to deduct revenue from the Base Rate and allocate it to the General Ledger Account Code setup on the Sundry Charge without increasing the overall price of the Rate.

Packages on a Rate Table with the Rate Structure 'OTA Rate' will have all Package Components set to 'Inclusive' and will apply every Reservation Stay Date using the selected Sundry Charge and Amount to Charge options entered.

Packaged OTA Rate

To setup a Packaged OTA Rate with add-ons like breakfast that don't deduct from accommodation revenue use a Derived Rate based off the room only rate and the package inclusions set as the adjustment amount.

In the above example the room only rate is $100 and breakfast is $25 per adult.

To set this up as a Packaged OTA Rate with two breakfasts included the room only rate will be selected as the Master Rate Type and the Adjustment Amount will be set to '+ $50' with the Package setup as 'Inclusive' with Per Person Fees set to include '2' Adults.

Per Person Fees

An Inclusive Package Component set with Per Person Fees will use the number included for each Guest Type to determine how to apply the charges on the Reservation Account.

When the number of a Guest Type exceeds the value entered as included in the entered Inclusive Package Amount the additional package fees will be added as an Exclusive Package Component.

In the below example the Rate Amount (Accommodation) is $100 and the Inclusive Package (Breakfast) is $25 Per Adult with 1 Adult included.

Reservation with 1 Adult		Reservation with 2 Adults
Accommodation	$75	Accommodation	$75
Breakfast	$25	Breakfast	$50
Guest Total:	$100	Guest Total:	$125

This example would be setup in RMS by selecting the checkbox 'Make Package Inclusive' and the Fee Structure as 'Fees Per Person' with '1' entered as the number of Adults included.

Delete

Overriding an Inclusive Package on the Reservation to a value higher than the Base Rate will set the Base Rate and any Rate Adjustments including Dynamic Pricing, Derived Rate Adjustments and Additionals to 0.00 and use the Package Override Amount as the Rate Amount on the Reservation Account.

Editing Existing Packages

Editing an existing Package Component on the Rate Type will prompt with an option to apply the changes to all current and future Reservations.

Selecting 'No' will keep the previous Package Amount on the Quoted Rate and will no longer match the Package setup on the Rate Type.

Selecting 'Yes' will recalculate the Package Amount on all current and future Reservations where that Rate Type is used and update the Package Amount using the new Package setup.

If 'No' is selected the Package Amount on the Quoted Rate will not match the Rate Table Package setup. Recalculating the Rate on the Reservation will update the Package Amount based on the Rate Table Package setup at the time Rate Recalculation occurs.
