Info
The Rate Type is the charge description or charge type that identifies a particular set of pricing.
The Last Minute option can be used to setup a lead time of availability for a Rate Type.
The lead time set will determine how far in advance from the arrival date the Rate Type will become available and can be used to setup promotional offers only available a limited time prior to the arrival date of a reservation.
Setup a Rate Period, Rate Table and Rate Lookup to make this Rate Type available for selection on a reservation or use the New Rate Wizard.
