In this pane, you can view and edit information about the reservation. Right-click anywhere within this pane to open the detailed Reservation form.

Certain, potentially conflicting data will not be displayed for reservations with a move. Details about the move will be displayed in the “Guest messages” pane, so no Note boxes will be displayed.

Rate code information

Right-click the “Change rate to” drop-down list () to open the following window:

This shows a list of all rate codes and room types together with their associated rates. Rate codes that are not valid for the period selected will be included in the list, but no rate will be shown.

If the arrival and departure dates are changed, the rate could also change; for instance, if the daily rate is reduced for stays exceeding three nights. The rate will also change (based on the rate information stored in the system data) if the number of adults, children or additional beds is changed.

To do this, simply change the number in the “Adults” box or the arrival or departure date and press the Tab key to confirm (do NOT press Enter because this will apply the entries to the reservation!). You will then be able to see immediately how the rate changes when certain reservation parameters are changed.

Display net rates: Select the Display net rates check box to display all the rates as net rates.

For room type: The “for room type” drop-down list is connected to the [Total cost of stay] button. Select a rate code, choose the room type, and click the [Total cost of stay] button. You will then be shown a breakdown of the total cost that would apply for this stay, taking into account the rate by day and room type selected. Weekend days are displayed in red. Select the Net Rates check box in this case too to display all the rates as net rates.
