Advanced Dynamic Base Rates

Prerequisites: Advanced Dynamic Base Rates

Overview

The Advanced Dynamic Base Rate enables you to create a rate derived from another rate (a Base Rate) or derived from both a Base Rate and a BAR Based rate. This rate structure provides flexibility by enabling you to configure the rate as either a flat amount or a percentage. In addition, you can choose to apply the BAR rate amount to the Advanced Dynamic Rate calculation and you can optionally select a rounding method. Advanced Dynamic Base Rate also offers the ability to compare the rate configuration details with other Base Rate amounts.

Example 12-5 Example 1

• ADBR (Advanced Dynamic Base rate) = to be determined

• BASE1 (BASE rate) = $100.00

• BAR1 (BAR rate) = $80.00

Rate configuration for ADBR with only Apply Bar selected:

Table 12-9 Rate Code Setup

Base Amount	BAR Base Amount	Apply BAR	Compare with Rate Details
$10.00 (Flat)	10%	Yes	No

Table 12-10 Look To Book Rate Availability Result

Rate Code	Nights	Adults	Amount
ADBR	1	1	$88.00

The BAR (BAR1) rate amount (with 10% added) was returned for the ADBR rate amount.

Rate configuration for ADBR with both Apply BAR and Compare with Rate Details options selected:

Table 12-11 Rate Code Setup

Base Amount	BAR Base Amount	Apply BAR	Compare with Rate Details
$10.00 (Flat)	10%	Yes	Yes

Table 12-12 Look To Book Rate Availability Result

Rate Code	Nights	Adults	Amount
ADBR	1	1	$88.00

The lower of the two rate amounts (between the BASE1 and BAR1) was returned for the ADBR rate code.

Example 12-6 Example 2

• ADBR (Advanced Dynamic Base rate) = to be determined

• BASE1 (BASE rate) = $50.00

• BAR1 (BAR rate) = $80.00

Rate configuration for ADBR with both Apply BAR and Compare with Rate Details options selected:

Table 12-13 Rate Code Setup

Base Amount	BAR Base Amount	Apply BAR	Compare with Rate Details
$10.00 (Flat)	10%	Yes	Yes

Table 12-14 Look To Book Rate Availability Result

Rate Code	Nights	Adults	Amount
ADBR	1	1	$60.00

The BASE (BASE1) rate amount (with $10.00 added) was returned for the ADBR rate amount. This was the lower of the two rate amounts (between the BASE1 and BAR1).

Rate configuration for ADBR with only Apply BAR selected:

Table 12-15 Rate Code Setup

Base Amount	BAR Base Amount	Apply BAR	Compare with Rate Details
$10.00 (Flat)	10%	Yes	No

Table 12-16 Look To Book Rate Availability Result

Rate Code	Nights	Adults	Amount
ADBR	1	1	$88.00

The BAR (BAR1) rate amount with 10% added was returned for the ADBR rate amount.
