Multiday Pricing Overrides

With a multiday override, you can override pricing for more than one day at a time. All overrides of decisions, like pricing, should be rare. Overrides of the system’s decisions, like pricing, should be rare, so review Best Practices for Overriding Pricing before making any pricing overrides.

Use multiday overrides carefully. The impact of multiday pricing overrides is much larger than an override for a single day.

Override Steps

Adding Overrides

  1. Click and then Pricing Management.
  2. Select the desired Room Class. If you need to apply multiday pricing overrides for multiple Room Classes or for a longer period, consider a Price Strategy instead. Note: If your reservation system does not support different BAR decisions by Room Class, the Master Class determines the BAR decisions of all other Room Classes. In this case, you can only override the Master Class pricing decision.
  3. If you are using the calendar view and if your property uses BAR by LOS pricing, select the LOS that you want to override.
  4. Click Multiday Overrides. The Multiday Pricing Overrides window opens.
  5. Click the calendar icons to select the Start date and End date for the date range for the pricing overrides.
  6. Select the Filtered by days checkboxes for the days of the week to which the override will be applied.
  7. If you are using the tabular view, select the Filtered by LOS checkboxes for the lengths of stay to which the override will be applied.
  8. Select the type of override next to the BAR level that you want to use.
    • You cannot combine Specific Overrides with Floor and Ceiling Overrides.
    • You can select Floor and Ceiling Overrides independently, or you can combine them to set a minimum and maximum price range.
  9. Click the notes icon for the date to enter an explanation for the override. The note helps when you monitor overrides later, to decide if you still need them or if you should remove them. After you save a note, the notes icon displays with a check mark for all days of the override.
  10. Click Apply. A confirmation window opens.
  11. Click Yes to apply the override to the date range. The unsaved changes icon in the calendar indicate dates with overrides that you must save or cancel.
