Mapping.
Mapping
Multiple rates can be mapped to the room type but mapping is only possible in one column. So, mapping in the standard column means the standard price will be sent.
To understand which column should be mapped please check the information;
In the above example the Beds is 3 so the Triple Column should be mapped.
If the channel manager has extra adult and child prices set then the Webbeds room should have the extra beds set up too.
A dummy price will also need adding in the fields below and the channel manager will override this with the actual value
Should the Webbeds room set up have extra beds and the channel manager is unable to send the data then Webbeds need to manually apply the extra bed value in their system.
We only receive one room type from Webbeds called Default room
Every room / rate combination is delivered as rate type underneath. Via the information icon you can get more information:
The rate name shows under InternalRoomNote - this is why we recommend receive a full product list from the property for ease of reference.
In case of multiple room types the Default Room will be mapped multiple times but every room/rate combination has a unique code
Sunhotels has the option to create room groups and normal rooms. Only normal rooms are supported in the connection with SmartHOTEL.

Errors.
Extra bed Price is not allowed for Flexible rooms
UpdateCalendarInformation function prevents rates from being sent in ExtraBed if room is set as Flexible Mode, although it has extra beds.
If the channel manager is unable to send the extra beds then Webbeds need to add the price manually in their system
The room has no extra beds so extra bed prices must be empty
Webbeds will need to change the Room Occupancy settings and add in the default pricing to resolve this. See Mapping for more information
Prices can only be set in the currency XXX for this hotel
There is a mismatch of currency code between the channel manager and Webbeds. Webbeds must use the channel manager currency code
