Grid Data
The Grid will, by default, show the daily rates for all rate plans in the PMS. Rates for individual days can be updated by entering a new value in the cell and pressing save. Derived rates cannot be edited in this way, these are indicated by the green paperclips.
Stop sells allow you to stop selling specific rooms or rates. Stop sells will display a no entry sign when they are correctly applied.
Minimum and Maximum stay sets the minimum / maximum days the room / rate needs to be booked for. The default minimum stay is 1.
Closed to Arrival and Closed to Departure settings are also either set to On or Off. Closed to Arrival / Departure means a Guest cannot check in / out these days but Guests can stayover. Eg Christmas Day.
Icons
The following icons will display on the grid:
1 The paper clip icon indicates that the Rate price is derived from another Rate Plan and cannot be updated in the Grid.
2 Refresh Arrow will return the Grid to the current day when clicked.
3 Weekends are highlighted in green.
4 If an orange triangle displays within the cell, a rate hurdle is auto-adjusting the rate
