New Switch to Show Rates on Reservation Changes

Added: 4/21/2004 - Version:12.02 - Revision: 317 - Article ID#: F000074

There is a new switch, (Menu 98, Option 425, Switch 14) that forces the system to go to the yield management screen on any reservation change that affects rates. This can be very useful as it allows the reservationist to inform the guest of the new rates that result from reservation changes.

For example, assume there is an existing reservation for 5/1/2006 at "RACK" and 5/2/2006 for "AAAA" rate.  If this reservation is changed and another day added, the system automatically uses the rate plan for the last day (AAAA) for the new day.  The reservationist normally does not "see" what rate was used for the new day.  With the new switch set to "YES" the system would automatically display rates after the extra day was added so that the reservation can see the new rates and inform the guest.

Implementation

To implement this new feature:

  1. Click here to download the latest version of RDP-DOS.
  2. From Menu 98, Option 425, change Switch 14 "Go to Yield Mgmt screen on date, unit#, or unit type change" to YES.  
  3. To see the results, change a reservation and add an extra day.  Then change it back to remove the day.  If you do not like the behavior, change the switch to "NO" and the system will behave as is used to.
