Every package can be assigned various rate segments, each resulting in a different rate. The field rate segment in a reservation will then determine the rate. The rate segment can be printed on the confirmation, invoice and on the protocol of the program post packages.
Rates and component list can be differentiated according to person types, thereby calculating different rates for adults and children for example.
Packages can be allocated different rates for companies, seasons, and weekends. When calculating a rate, SIHOT considers the following factors by order of priority:
1. Company seasonal rate
2. Company weekend rate
3. Season rate
4. Weekend rate
5. Standard rates
When posting fix services, SIHOT calculates the actual rate for this particular day.
If you enter a combination of package and rate segment in a reservation, SIHOT will use a colour in the field rate segment to point out if this combination is available. A black entry shows that the combination of package and rate segment is available. An orange entry shows that the combination is not available in the master files. In the latter case, the standard package would be calculated only.
