Set up linked rates on your booking engine
Linked Rates are used in situations where you want the price of your rate to be up or down a set value or percentage from an existing (parent) rate on the system. So any price updates to the parent rate will automatically update your new linked rate.
Log into SHR booking engine.
On the left side navigation panel select rates & packages, then select browse rates.
Click the create rate button to the left of the screen.
Click the link here to see how to create a rate.
Under the price management, macro type heading select Linked Rate from the drop down menu.
Parent Rate for Linked Rate - This is where you select the parent rate (where you want the pricing to be configured from).
Once the rate is created it will appear as below on the back end of SHR BE under the parent rate.
Once the rate is created you will need to set the pricing for it.
Select the Configure tab beside the rate.
You then have to configure the pricing for the linked rate to derive from the parent rate.
1. Type and Direction: You can choose to have a Percentage or Fixed Amount and choose to have the price up(higher) or down(cheaper) than the parent rate.
2. Amount: This is where you enter the figure you want to either add or deduct from the price.
3. Second Adjustment (Optional): This can be used to further add or reduce the price of a linked rate by a percentage or a fixed amount.
4. Rounding: You can select between nearest full unit, nearest 50 cent or no rounding.
5. Once you have entered the configuration, click Save Changes.
