Info
The Rate Lookup is the linking component that RMS uses to know which combination of Rate Type and Rate Table to use during any Rate Period.
Without a Rate Lookup each Rate Type, Rate Period and Rate Table will be disconnected and not available for use on reservations.
Only Rate Types and Rate Tables with a matching Rate Structure can be connected in a Rate Lookup.
Use the 'Hold Selection' option to retain the selection made on Save/Next for quicker Rate Lookup setup.
Setup a Rate Type, Rate Table and Rate Period to make a Rate Type available for selection on a reservation or use the New Rate Wizard for guided rate setup in RMS.
