Booking Limit. This field appears when the ARI Enabled check box is selected and is the static value used for booking limit updates after the initial upload (which is defined when Creating or Modifying the ADS Channel). The Booking Limit check box must also be selected on the Channel Setup form to enable the ADS Booking Limit Service.
Add-On License. (ADS channels only) Only available in stand-alone PMS connected to an ADS vendor (ADS add-on license active). Select the down arrow and choose an ADS add-on license from the list of values. The license selected here will be associated with the ADS channel property.
Note: With the installation of Opera v5.0.02.03, all ADS channels will be inactive and will require reactivation of their specific add-on licenses as well as the main ADS license (OPA_500). To reactivate an ADS channel property, select the Add-On License down arrow and choose a specific license to associate with the ADS channel property. Once the add-on license is selected, setup for the channel property is automatic and no further configuration will be required.
To ensure that all ADS vendors are certified to connect to Opera, each vendor will be issued a specific license.
Prevailing Rates. If the Rates>Prevailing Rate by LOS application function is set to Y at the property level, when the Regional Availability check box is selected on the Rate Code tab for a particular rate code within the channel, Opera will check to see whether the Prevailing Rates check box is selected or not. If selected, non-prevailing rates are excluded in a Regional Availability search.
Select the Prevailing Rates check box to exclude non-prevailing rates in a Regional Availability search. The following prompt appears:
Select the Yes button to deactivate non-prevailing rate codes in a Regional Availability search. If you select the Yes button, the Regional Availability check box disappears from the Rate Code tab of non-prevailing rates, making them unavailable.
If you select the No button at the prompt or the Prevailing Rates check box is not selected, a Regional Availability search includes both prevailing and non-prevailing rates. For additional information on prevailing rates, refer to the main Opera help.

Note: The Buckets tab is only displayed on the Property-New/Edit screen when either the WCS_500 or the WCC_500 OPERA WSC license code is active.
Use the Buckets tab to define the rate amounts for rooms that are booked as part of a sales and catering block. The revenue threshold levels configured on the Buckets tab will define the room rates for the sales and catering block.
Example: User books a sales and catering event for Property A and the charge for the S&C event is $1500. If this amount falls between the Low Revenue Threshold1 and the High Revenue Threshold1 for Property A’s channel conversion, then Default Rate Code1 is used as the rate code for the sales and catering block's room charge. Therefore, each room in the sales and catering block for the event will be charged Default Rate Code1.
Default Rate Code. Select the down arrow and choose a default rate code from the list of values. This is the default rate code for the property channel conversion.
Default Rate Code1. Select the down arrow and choose a default rate code1 from the list of values. This is the property channel's default rate code one. If the amount charged for an S&C (Sales and Catering) event falls between the Low Revenue Threshold1 and High Revenue Threshold1, this will be the rate code used for each room in the S&C block.
Low Revenue Threshold1. Enter a low revenue threshold amount, which will be the low rate amount for revenue threshold level one.
High Revenue Threshold1. Enter a high revenue threshold amount, which will be the high rate amount for revenue threshold level one.
Default Rate Code2. Select the down arrow and choose the default rate code2 from the list of values. This is the property channel's default rate code two. If the amount charged for an S&C (Sales and Catering) event falls between the Low Revenue Threshold2 and High Revenue Threshold2, this will be the rate code used for each room in the S&C block.
Low Revenue Threshold2. Enter a low revenue threshold amount, which will be the low rate amount for revenue threshold level two.
High Revenue Threshold2. Enter a high revenue threshold amount, which will be the high rate amount for revenue threshold level two.
Default Rate Code3. Select the down arrow and choose a default rate code3 from the list of values. This is the property channel's default rate code three. If the amount charged for an S&C (Sales and Catering) event falls between the Low Revenue Threshold3 and High Revenue Threshold3, this will be the rate code used for each room in the S&C block.
Low Revenue Threshold3. Enter a low revenue threshold amount, which will be the low rate amount for revenue threshold level three.
High Revenue Threshold3. Enter a high revenue threshold amount, which will be the high rate amount for revenue threshold level three.
