Select the rate plan from the Rate Plan drop down or select 'All' to freeze all rates.
Click Process.
Click Yes when prompted 'Are you sure you want to freeze ALL Rate Plans?'.
Click OK when the process is complete.

FAQs

After freezing rates, can I manually change the rate?

Yes, but you must go to the reservation to change rate price or rate plan.

If I change a rate set or season table but forget freeze rates, what happens to the rate price?

Nothing happens automatically, but the freeze rates utility should be run before the Reset Res from Folio utility is run during the night audit. The registration card will display with the correct rate, but the rate will post the new price on the folio.
