The RMSWeb Tariff module is a powerful and flexible tool which
calculates the Tariff due for a reservation. There are many
features and possibilities within the Tariff setup.
How
do Tariffs work in RMSWeb?
To set your Tariffs in RMSWeb, three (3) key areas are linked
together by a Tariff Lookup allowing RMSWeb to calculate the
correct tariff regardless of the season, category or type of
reservation;
Tariff Types Who
the tariff is being create for. For Example: Pensioner Rate, Rack
Rate, Corporate Rate
Tariff Periods Dates
from & to which govern the tariff For Example: Low Season, High
Season.
Tariff Tables Amount
which is to be charged. For Example: You would only enter a new
Tariff Table for each applicable rate, if your different High
Seasons all result in the same charge, you would only need to make
one tariff table.
Tariff Lookup Links
all of the above areas together.
An easy way to complete your Lookups is to ask yourself - If I am
making a reservation and I am choosing the Tariff Type of Standard,
the reservation if for the High Season and the Category I am
choosing is One Bedroom then apply the Tariff of
X.
When a reservation crosses periods, each season's tariff will be
applied for the days in each season.
