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• Deactivate a rate plan that is no longer in effect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 - (See business rules for more info)
• 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• Deactivate a rate plan is no longer in effect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.
For CRS to PMS, @RatePlanNotifType will always =”Overlay” if hotel chooses to send rate Header w/Detail or from Rate Management Rate Code set up in Windsurfer admin. In this case, CRS does not know if the rate plan pre-exists in PMS or not. Best Practice is to always accept Overlay and if rate does not exist in PMS then create rate from Overlay message.
For PMS to CRS - if @RatePlanNotifType=”Overlay” and rate does not yet exist in CRS, it will be created from this message.
For PMS to CRS, after initial rate create, it is prefered any changes to rate values come via HotelRateAmountNotif to avoid overriding any rate header details a hotelier may have input directly in the CRS.

OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRQ Elements & Attributes

Element \| @Attribute	Num	Description/Contents	Origin \| Value
OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRQ	1	Root element of the message.
@EchoToken	0..1	Optional
@TimeStamp	1	Time of the transaction.
@Version	1	Version is a mandatory attribute in OTA; therefore, it must remain Mandatory in HTNG to be able to use the same message.
@MessageContentCode	1	The attribute refers to OTA code list MCC which includes Rate, Package, Group.
OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRQ / RatePlans	1	Element grouping the rate plans to be transferred.
@HotelCode	1	This is the code of the property whose rate plans are being updated.
OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRQ / RatePlans / RatePlan	1..n	Element defining rate plan being sent. Upper limit to be agreed by trading partners.
@RatePlanCode	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.
@AdjustedAmount	0..1	The amount which should be added to the base rate plan to determine the price of this derived rate plan. Specifies an amount, max 3 decimals.
@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.
@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.
@YieldDeltaAmount	0..1	Numeric attribute indicating the amount to be added or subtracted to the rate to determine the real “yieldable” value of the rate.
@YieldableIndicator	0..1	Used to indicate the rate plan is subject to yield management logic. When true, the rate plan is yieldable. When false, the rate plan is not yieldable.
@MarketCode	0..1	String attribute to indicate the market code for the rate. Only one MarketCode is acceptable for RatePlan code; therefore, the MarketCode must be the same for all seasons passed
@RestrictedDisplayIndicator	0..1	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.	In case of CRS to PMS, RatePlanNotifType will always be “Overlay” even in case of sending a new rate code to PMS which may not exist. Best practice if accepting RatePlanNotif from CRS is to look for the rate plan to update, and if not found, create. For PMS to CRS, rate will be created from “New” or “Overlay” if rate is not found in CRS already existing.
@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 in the 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.
@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.
@YieldDeltaAmount	0..1	Numeric attribute indicating the amount to be added or subtracted to the rate to determine the real “yieldable” value of the rate.
@InventoryAllocatedInd	0..1	Boolean attribute to indicate whether the inventory allocated to this rate is taken out of the house inventory. Only 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.	Commissionable, if present
