Overview
Package options available in Rate Setup or via the Package on a Reservation are determined by the selected Rate Structure.
OTA Rate Structure rates can be used across the RMS Booking Engine, in-house bookings, and all connected Online Travel Agents (OTAs).
Direct Rate Structure rates can be used across the RMS Booking Engine and in-house bookings.
⚠ Important: When selling a Package Rate through an OTA (e.g Expedia, Booking.com), the package must be set to Inclusive.
Charges will be applied to each reservation date based on the selected Sundry Charge and Amount to Charge.
Inclusive or Exclusive packages can be sold both in-house and through the RMS Booking Engine.
"Exclude in Commission Calculations" cannot be used for OTAs
