How to turn TakeUp off and "fix" custom rates for specific dates
Custom rates can be set for specific dates by setting "Fixed Rates." This function allows users to turn TakeUp off for a particular day and set a price that TakeUp will not change. This can be done for all room types using the base room and the assigned deltas, or by fixing rates at the room-type level.
Fixing Rates Using the Base Room Type
You can add or edit daily rate bounds by navigating to the "Rate Management" tab in the control panel on the left side of the web app and clicking on the day you would like to adjust in the calendar. A pop-up will appear showing a weekly view of the rates for that day at the top and the specific details for the day you are editing below. From there, select "Rate Adjustments" underneath the weekly view.
From there, click on the yellow radio button that says within the grey TakeUp AI text box. The button will move to the left, and the green "Enabled" icon will turn red and read "Disabled," meaning you have turned TakeUp off and the option to override will appear. You can enter any value you would like, regardless of rate bounds, and the new values for each of your rooms based on your room deltas will appear on the right side of the panel. Click "Save."
Fixing Rates by Each Room Type Independently
On the Calendar on the Rate Management Page, select the date in which you want to place a Fixed Rate. From there, select "Rate Adjustments" underneath the weekly view. Click the Enable TakeUp AI toggle to Disable TakeUp and set a Fixed Rate for the day. Select the "Override each room type independently" option by clicking on the radio button.
Set your Fixed Rate on any of the Room Types that you want to adjust.
Please note that using a fixed rate to override one room type will turn off TakeUp for all room types for that day, even if the rates for the other room types have not been adjusted. To remove the Daily Fixed Rate by Room Type, just enable TakeUp AI by clicking the toggle.
If you do remove the Daily Fixed Rate by Room Type (as mentioned above), the Base Rate with defined Room Type Differentials will be in effect. You can see those values in the Rates Table.
Using "Bulk Edit" to Fix Rates for Multiple Days
If there are multiple dates that you would like to fix to the same rate, you can easily do so in one action rather than fixing rates one day at a time. Please watch the short video below to see how to perform a bulk rate fix.
After you have entered your fixed rate, the calendar will display the word "Fixed" in the upper left corner of the selected dates and they will immediately reflect the new custom rate.
