Overview

The Hotel Rate Plan Notification message is used to notify the CRS of a new rate plan created for a hotel or to modify and synchronize existing rate plans between the PMS and CRS.

When a hotel creates a new rate, whether that hotel is new or has been in operation for some period of time, the synchronization of rate plans can be a complicated process. A translation table may be required to identify the rate plan in one system with the same rate plan that is stored in another system.

With the creation of a new rate plan, a business process must also take place to ensure that the rate plan is populated up through the distribution system. New rate plans and group blocks are broadcast through authorized channels of distribution determined by negotiated business agreements. Viewership is usually set up when a new rate plan code is negotiated and it defines the distribution channel for the rate plan and the profile of the authorized booker(s). The distribution channels are indicated by a collection of System Codes.

When a hotel system sends out a status message to notify systems of the availability of a hotel, the StatusApplicationControl uses the rate plan codes that have been established by the Hotel Rate Plan Notification to determine which rate plans are available.

The <OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRS> returns a response to the Hotel Rate Plan Notification request message, indicating that the notification message was successfully processed and warnings from business processing rules or errors if the notification was not able to be processed.

Supported Operations

  • The PMS uses the Rate Plan Notification message to the CRS to:
    • Announce a new rate plan
    • Update an active rate plan
    • Deactivate a rate plan that is no longer in effect

  • The CRS uses the Rate Plan Notification message to the PMS to:
    • Announce a new rate plan
    • Update an active rate plan
    • Deactivate a rate plan is no longer in effect

Business Rules

  • The guarantee policy detail is not supported in version 100. Instead, the GuaranteeCode is used to identify an existing policy that has been already setup in the CRS.

  • The cancel policy detail is not supported in version 1.00. Instead, the CancelPenalty. PolicyCode is used to identify an existing policy that has been already setup in the CRS.

 1  

This is the rate plan which is being uploaded/downloaded.  

 

@RatePlanCategory  

 0..1  

This is the segment/category to which the rate being uploaded/downloaded belongs. Only one RatePlanCategory is acceptable for RatePlan code; therefore, the RatePlanCategory must be the same for all seasons passed.  

 

@ RatePlanStatusType  

 0..1  

The status of the rate plan – Initial, Active, Deactivated.  

 

@BaseRatePlanCode  

 0..1  

The rate plan this rate plan is derived from. Used for Character Strings, length1 to 64.

@AdjustUpIndicator  

 0..1  

When true, the adjusted amount or adjusted percentage is added to the amount specified for the base rate plan to determine the derived rate amount. When false, the adjusted amount or adjusted percentage is subtracted from the amount specified for the base rate plan to determine the derived rate amount.  

 

@ExtraNightRatePlancode  

 0..1  

Used to indicate what rate plan is used for shoulder night(s) booked in addition to the base nights. Used for Character Strings, length 1 to 64.

This attribute is a boolean to indicate if the rate is to be considered “Confidential”. Only one Confidential attribute is acceptable for each RatePlan code; therefore, the attribute must be the same for all seasons passed.  

 

@RatePlanNotifType  

 1  

This enumeration indicates whether the upload/download is meant to overwrite existing data or add to it. Possible enumerations are: New, Delta, Overlay, Remove.  

 

@Start, @End  

 1  

In general, the Start and End attributes used at the RatePlan level should be used as follows: The Start attribute should be equal to the earliest Start attribute at the Rate level, and the End attribute should be equal to the latest End attribute at the Rate level. In other words, the Start and End attributes at the RatePlan level should specify the entire span of dates representing the Rate elements found inthe Rates collection. HOWEVER, the same Start and End attribute or Rate Plan level could be used to indicate the actual seasons of the rate if the two systems integrating using this message intend to transfer some of the elements at rate plan level as season-based elements. For instance, if the two systems are both capable of treating the “Commissionable” indicator as a seasonal item rather than an item that applies to the entire rate. If the Start and End attribute at rate plan level are used to indicate each season, the Start and End attribute at rate level WOULD ONLY BE USED in case of DOW variations – if no DOW variation is needed the Start and end attributes at Rate level could be omitted.  

 

@AdjustedPercentage  

 0..1  

The percentage off the base rate plan amount used to determine the price of this derived rate plan. Used for percentage values.  

 

@AdjustUpIndicator  

 0..1  

When true, the adjusted amount or adjusted percentage is added to the amount specified for the base rate plan to determine the derived rate amount. When false, the adjusted amount or adjusted percentage is subtracted from the amount specified for the base rate plan to determine the derived rate amount.

@InventoryAllocatedInd

one InvBlock indicator is acceptable for RatePlan code; therefore, the InvBlock indicator must be the same for all seasons passed.

 @IsCommissionable  

 0..1 (was 1)

This indicates whether the rate season is commissionable or not. If the Boolean is sent as False, the rate season is not commissionable. If the Boolean is set to “True”, but NO commission is sent in the commission element, then the commission to be applied is the default one for the property. If the Boolean is set to True and a commission is passed in the field then the commission sent is the one applied to the rate season.
