Siebel Hospitality Guide > Setting Up Pricing and Property Pricing > Administering Sleeping Room Pricing > Defining Government Sleeping Room Pricing RulesThe administrator can set up sleeping room pricing types and rates that meet government room rate requirements for the government market segment. These mandated rates requirements are regularly published by the U.S. government for each room type. The prices are date range-specific and are routinely added to Siebel Hospitality for any given property. Government pricing can be turned on and off depending on the government rate availability. While the government rate exists in Siebel Hospitality at all times, this rate might or might not be available depending on the occupancy of the hotel. When government pricing is not available, regular pricing is used. The government rate cannot be offered to a group unless the government rate is open for every day that the group is resident at the property. That is, if the government rate is not available for a single day of the room block, then the whole room block cannot be offered at the government rate. The property administrator must define the available (open) dates, and on which dates special rates for the government segment must not be applied. Government rates can vary by the arrival day of the event. For example, current government rates can be specified for a particular date range, and rates that are applicable for the next three years can also be defined. Exceptions to sleeping room rates for the government sector usually involve defining rates for dates in the future. For example, in October, the government might release prices that are applicable beginning in January of the following year. This task is performed as part of Sleeping Room Administration, and is a step in Administering Sleeping Room Pricing. Setting Up Default Government RatesThe following procedure details how to set up the default government sleeping room rates. To set up default government rates
Creating Exceptions to the Default Government RatesThe administrator can define exception rates for each rule type after the rule has been created, and also define available dates for this exception. An administrator can define an exception by creating a new rule that has effective start and end dates. The newly created rule will take precedence over the existing rule when the quote price is calculated. To create exceptions to the default government rates
