This Chapter will cover how to setup and use your Tariff Grid.
The Tariff Grid is the easiest way to quickly set your tariffs in your RMSWeb system.
The Tariff Grid has been specifically designed to work your RMS Tariffs seamlessly into any online agents booking engine.
You will be able to pass multiple Tariffs to your RMS Online agent E.g. Room Only Rates, Bed & Breakfast Rates, Weekend Getaway Rates.
Working from your Tariff Types, Tariffs and Periods, already configured within your RMS system the grid will be able to pass your rates through to all linked online agents.
If you are configuring your Tariffs for the first time choose the below help file link to assist you;
