Understanding Room Type and Rate Plan Allocations A Room Type/Rate Plan allocation controls the availability of Rooms and the Rates you offer in each channel. Room Type/Rate Plan allocations are also used to sell packages, discounted rates and for Promo Codes. The Room Types and Rate Plans available to allocate in the channels are already setup in Room Types and Default Rates or Packages. When you add Room Type/Rate Plan allocation to a channel, all of the rooms assigned to that Room Type will be available at the Rate Plan you have assigned to it. You can use the current Room Types you have set up or create new Room Types and Rate Plans and Packages for use in a specific channel. The functions you decide to use depends on how you want to manage your online distribution and the complexity of your Room Type and Rate Plan Structure.
