Rate codes vs. Rate levels Most common category codes Negotiated and contractual rates definitions Rate updates for SRP chains Rate updates for DCA chains (for non-EPN properties) Rate updates for DCA (for EPN properties) Rate updates for DC Shop (for non-EPN properties) Rate updates for DC Shop (for EPN properties) Rate Codes vs. Rate Levels Rate codes are created to represent the types of product that a property has available. The rate code is usually 3 characters Rate levels allow the Associates to keep rate codes together. They can cluster a few of the rate codes together under one rate level. NON EPN < 65 535 EPN > 65 535 Category Codes Since there is no limit on the number of rate codes that an Associate can create, the category codes are attached to the rate codes for Sabre users’ convenience when shopping for rates. The most common category codes are: • P – Promotional • W – Weekend • C – Corporate • N – Negotiated • X – Contractual The Sabre users include the category codes in the shopping entry, and the TPF responds with rates as assigned by the Associate. Negotiated and Contractual Rates Client Negotiated Rates – these are rate codes representing an agreement between the Associate and a specific corporation. The Negotiated Rates are allocated to the category code - N e.g. HOTDFW/12SEP-1NT1/RC-N‡MOT Agency Contractual Rates – these are rate codes agreed upon by the Associate and the travel agency or consortium of travel agencies. These rates can be used for all agency's clients. The Contractual Rates are allocated to the category code – X e.g. HOTDFW/12SEP-1NT1/RC-X‡OBZ Property set up for SRP properties: Action Example DC Shop 1 HRL-Create rate level HRL‡GMC-GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION Optional- RAC level recommended 2 HRC- Create rate code HRC‡PRO-PROMOTIONAL RATES/P,W Required- Negotiated/Contractual 3 HRT- Attach rate level to property HRTXX‡WKD N/A 4 HTT- Attach rate code to rate level at chain HTTXXWKD‡W01 Optional 5 HCM- Add rates/rooms to rate level HCMXX438GMC¤RO05APR-END EI A1K/95.00-95.00 N/A 6 HCM- Add rate range HCMCCPPPP‡RANGE¤RT EI ALL/123.45- Optional* - RAC rate range recommended 999.99/1JUN-END 7 HVB- Define viewership HVBAMFAP-A0B0,B4T0 Required- Viewership by PCC 8 HVO/HVC/HVR- Set availability at room level HVOXX438GMC/23NOV-30NOV/A1K HVCXX438GMC/10OCT-20OCT/ALL HVRXX438GMC/ALL/C1D-B1K N/A 9 Set availability at property level *Can also be updated via eHotels website **Can only be updated via eHotels website Optional** Property set up for DCA (non-EPN) Action Examples DCA non-EPN 1 HRL-Create rate level HRL‡GMC-GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION Required 2 HRC- Create rate code HRC‡PRO-PROMOTIONAL RATES/P,W Required 3 HRT- Attach rate level to property HRT2345‡WKD Required 4 HTT- Attach rate code to rate level at chain HTT2345WKD‡W01 Required 5 HCM- Add rates/rooms to rate level HCMXX438GMC¤RO05APR-END EI A1K/95.00-95.00 Required 6 HCM- Add rate range HCMCCPPPP‡RANGE¤RT EI ALL/123.45- N/A 999.99/1JUN-END 7 HVB- Define viewership HVBAMFAP-A0B0,B4T0 Required- Viewership by PCC 8 HVO/HVC/HVRSet availability at room level HVOXX438GMC/23NOV-30NOV/A1K HVCXX438GMC/10OCT-20OCT/ALL HVRXX438GMC/ALL/C1D-B1K Required FYI= RAC room code required for HOD display without dates Property set up for DCA (EPN) Action Example DCA EPN 1 HRL-Create rate level HRL‡GMC-GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION Required 2 HRC- Create rate code HRC‡PRO-PROMOTIONAL RATES/P,W Required 3 HRT- Attach rate level to property HRT2345‡WKD N/A 4 HTT- Attach rate code to rate level at chain HTT2345WKD‡W01 Required (1 time only) 5 HCM- Add rates/rooms to rate level HCMXX438GMC¤RO05APR-END EI A1K/95.00-95.00 N/A 6 HCM- Add rate range HCMCCPPPP‡RANGE¤RT EI ALL/123.45- Rac & N/X need rate range 999.99/1JUN-END 7 HVB- Define viewership HVBAMFAP-A0B0,B4T0 Required- Viewership by PCC 8 HVO/HVC/HVR- Set availability at room level HVOXX438GMC/23NOV-30NOV/A1K HVCXX438GMC/10OCT-20OCT/ALL HVRXX438GMC/ALL/C1D-B1K N/A Property set up for DC Shop (non-EPN) Action Example DCA non-EPN 1 HRL-Create rate level HRL‡GMC-GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION Required 2 HRC- Create rate code HRC‡PRO-PROMOTIONAL RATES/P,W Required 3 HRT- Attach rate level to property HRT2345‡WKD Required 4 HTT- Attach rate code to rate level at chain HTT2345WKD‡W01 Required 5 HCM- Add rates/rooms to rate level HCMXX438GMC¤RO05APR-END EI A1K/95.00-95.00 Required 6 HCM- Add rate range HCMCCPPPP‡RANGE¤RT EI ALL/123.45999.99/1JUN-END Optional (recommended at least for RAC, if this field is not updated when connectivity fails, the agent will see 0-0) 7 HVB- Define viewership HVBAMFAP-A0B0,B4T0 Required- Viewership by PCC 8 HVO/HVC/HVRSet availability at room level HVOXX438GMC/23NOV-30NOV/A1K HVCXX438GMC/10OCT-20OCT/ALL HVRXX438GMC/ALL/C1D-B1K N/A FYI= RAC room code required for HOD to display without dates Property set up for DC Shop (EPN) Action Example DCA EPN 1 HRL-Create rate level HRL‡GMC-GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION N/A 2 HRC- Create rate code HRC‡PRO-PROMOTIONAL RATES/P,W Required 3 HRT- Attach rate level to property HRT2345‡WKD N/A 4 HTT- Attach rate code to rate level at chain HTT2345WKD‡W01 N/A 5 HCM- Add rates/rooms to rate level HCMXX438GMC¤RO05APR-END EI A1K/95.00-95.00 N/A 6 HCM- Add rate range HCMCCPPPP‡RANGE¤RT EI ALL/123.45999.99/1JUN-END Optional (recommended at least for RAC, if this field is not updated when connectivity fails, the agent will see 0-0) 7 HVB- Define viewership HVBAMFAP-A0B0,B4T0 Required- Viewership by PCC 8 HVO/HVC/HVR- Set availability at room level HVOXX438GMC/23NOV-30NOV/A1K HVCXX438GMC/10OCT-20OCT/ALL HVRXX438GMC/ALL/C1D-B1K N/A References on Sabre to create new rate codes (formats)
