Why overwrite?
Depending on the marketing model or strategy set, we can work with our rates based on two models:
- Standard prices, not necessarily based on occupancy.
- Occupancy-based prices (OBP).
However, sometimes it is necessary to adjust these prices according to the specific needs of the business.
That is why, in Ulyses Cloud, a feature called "OVERWRITE" has been developed.
This means that if you want to overwrite the values of a rate, you can do so by acting on the Base price. In this way, you can easily and simply replace the conditions previously established in the rate configuration.
This allows you to adjust the rate values as needed to meet the specific needs of the business, providing greater flexibility in price management.
How to overwrite the parameters of a rate?
In Ulyses Cloud, it is possible to overwrite a price or a feature of a base rate on a specific day or days.
To do this, you must access the rate you wish to modify and select the availability tab. There, you will find a dropdown menu of options located on the right side of the screen.
Within this dropdown menu, you will find different options depending on the rate you are modifying.
These options include:
- Daily rate.
- Closed: close sales.
- Minimum/maximum stay.
- Close to arrival (CTA) and close to departure (CTD)
- % discount and fixed % discount.
To overwrite an option, select the one you want to change from the dropdown menu and replace the value in the room, occupancy, and chosen date.
After making the changes, save and the new value will be substituted in the base rate, only for the parameters you have selected. Everything else in the rate will remain the same.
If you want to close sales on a specific day or days, you can select the "closed" option in the dropdown menu. Next, click on the box for the room, occupancy, and dates you want to close. By clicking, the chosen option will be marked as closed.
The boxes marked in red symbolize closures:
In this way, Ulyses Cloud allows you to make precise and specific changes to your rates, giving you greater flexibility in managing prices and availability.
