Mapping.

When mapping for Net Affinity, it is important to check the configuration settings within the Net Affinity extranet to ensure they match the configuration of the channel manager.

Package configuration

The channel manager will send availability for each package on unit level.

Should any packages, except the base package, be pooling from central availability you can disable this by editing each package under availability screen and unticking the box 'Use Availability Bucket'

Conference and Group Rates

It is possible to set up Conference and Group rates in NetAffinity and these can then be mapped in SmartHOTEL for reservation delivery. If you are using these types of rates you will need to Pool them from central availability and also Float rates from a pre-defined rate.

Room type configuration

The room configuration in Net Affinity must match the occupancy settings in the channel manager.

Should any rooms accommodation children in the channel manager then you must ensure that the occupant setting in NetAffinity match, especially the Child Age Qualifying Code

Mapping

Mapping is always done in the Standard Column

Useful Info.

Occupancy Pricing

Setup will take highest price offered for max occupancy per that room and sets that up as a day price per room.

When double room has max occupancy set as 2 they will accept day rate as rate from NumberOfGuests=2 - 150.00

If quad room has max occupancy set to 4 they will accept NumberOfGuests=4 as day price per room - 250.00

<BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests="1" AgeQualifyingCode="10" AmountAfterTax="10000" DecimalPlaces="2" />
<BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests="2" AgeQualifyingCode="10" AmountAfterTax="15000" DecimalPlaces="2" />
<BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests="3" AgeQualifyingCode="10" AmountAfterTax="20000" DecimalPlaces="2" />
<BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests="4" AgeQualifyingCode="10" AmountAfterTax="25000" DecimalPlaces="2" />

In essence, the way the booking engine accepts pricing is per room, rather than per occupant. This is why upon integration we map a room rate at max. 2 adults, feed a separate single occupancy rate, and feed all other extra occupants as supplements.
