Availability, Rate & Reservation Data Exchange

The following tables show which availability, rate, restriction, guest, and reservation data is sent and received between HRS Australasia and RMS.

Important Warnings

• Each Rate Plan (Government.Travel and LEADS) must have its own RMS rate plan mapped. Both rate plans feed to HRS as GROSS and attract a 13% Commission

• Government.Travel and LEADS should have the same 13% mark-up and be higher than your contracted rate to avoid contracted customers booking at the lower dynamic commissionable rate instead of the static contracted rate. 

• You can setup both Government.Travel and LEADS using the derived rate setup. This allows you to mark-up with adjustment of 13% in the Derived rate adjustment setup.
