The rack base rate code will be allocated to BWI's BAR rate. BWI's rate structure, many additional rate codes are based on the rack rate. Should the rack base rate be closed, the closure will also apply for all rates which are based on it.
Please do not forget to link the rates with BWI cancellation and guarantee conditions (see section about rate code details).
Rates which can only be booked in protel, must be marked as local rates.
Rate codes which are already compliant to BWI can be renamed, adjusted and continued being used.
Rate codes not used after the conversion can be hidden.
From experience, most of the existent rate codes in protel will need to be edited in order to be BWI compliant.
General Advice
Rate codes contain the following BWI specific fields in BWI mode:

Fields specific to BWI (UDFs) in rate codes |
|
|---|---|
BWI Name of the base rate |
If the rate code is based on another rate code, the name of the base rate code will be entered here (Column Base Rate Code from the Pre-Imp-Pack, Rate Plans tab). |
BWI Send this Rate to CRS |
Yes = The rate code will be used in protel and in the CRS No = The rate code is bookable both in the CRS and protel. However, no rate updates will be sent because Best Western does not support this in the CRS. local = this rate code is only in protel. Neither rate updates and guarantee conditions, nor availabilities will be transmitted to the CRS for this rate. Reservations with this rate code will be transmitted to the CRS as "HP" (House Plan) rate code. |
Local rates (house plans)
[System data > Rates > Rate codes]
In addition to the rate codes and rate groups predefined by Best Western, each hotel can also include so-called (House Plans) which are local rates that are not sold through the CRS. Neither rate updates and guarantee conditions, nor availabilities will be transmitted to the CRS for house rates.
Local rate codes can be managed in exclusive rate groups.
This
is how you mark rate groups for all local rates:
BWI send this rate group to CRS? = local
(local is used for rate codes which are only in protel. Reservations using local rates will be transmitted to the CRS as rate code "HP" (House Plan).
