RDPWin: CA Senate Bill 537 - room rate must include all fees

Starting July 1st, all California-based properties require that the advertised rate include all additional fees, excluding state or government taxes.
To comply with this law, the fees must be part of the rate plan package and calculated based on the nightly rate and the component charges in the package. Additionally, rate quoting will be simpler, and the rates provided to OTAs and other reservation channels will be inclusive of all fees.

To address the new law the following will need to be performed for each package rate plan

  1. In RDPWin navigate to the System | Rates | Rate Plans and select change

  2. Select a package rate plan from the list

  3. Click the add component option below the components grid

  4. Enter the component number and description

  5. Complete the Rate Plan Component Maintenance screen.

    1. For the Daily or Once field, a new option has been added for properties that do not have a flat fee but instead use a percentage for the rate + components.

    2. The value of the component will be calculated for each date of the stay based on the sum of all the components and the rate.

    3. Once configured click Add & Close

    4. On the Rate Plan form add your new component to the components grid.

Note:

The Daily or Once option for Percent of daily Room + Components charges is only available when adding a component from the Rate Plan configuration form.  This type of component will only work within a package and should not be used for any other purpose.
