Adding a new room type to RevControl involves syncing it with your PMS, setting up supplements if needed, linking rate plans, and ensuring all rates are published.
When adding a new room type to your hotel, it’s essential to configure it correctly in RevControl. Follow the steps below to ensure the new room type is fully integrated.
Steps to Add a New Room Type:
- Add the Room Type in Your PMS or Channel Manager:
- Ensure the new room type is created in your PMS or Channel Manager so it’s available for linkage in RevControl.
- Note: When certain room types are filtered out in RevControl, a new room type will not be imported automatically. You should inform the Customer Success team about the additional type so they can add it.
- Notify RevControl’s Customer Success Team:
- Inform the Customer Success team at RevControl of the new room type, including the ID or code in your PMS or channel manager to enable linking.
- Set Room Type Supplements (Optional):
- Go to Settings > Mapping > Room Type Supplements if you want to add supplements or discounts for the new room type compared to the base room type.
- Choose whether to apply the supplement as a percentage or fixed amount.
- Link Rate Plans to Receive MinLOS (Optional and Not Applicable for All PMS Systems):
- If you want specific Rate Plans linked for MinLOS with the new room type, first add them via Settings > Mapping > Rate Plans.
- Then add the Rate Plans to the room types via Settings > Mapping > Room Type Supplements.
- Publish Rates:
- Check the rates in the Rates Calendar and make any necessary adjustments.
- Once everything is set up, you can execute “Save & resend unchanged” for each month to ensure rates for the new room type are sent.
- Reactivate AutoPublish:
- If AutoPublish was turned off during setup, reactivate it once configuration is complete.
