When you expand the rate (Click at blue button), you will see the rate mapping list of connected booking channels which displays pricing of room rates and the supported restrictions.

Limitation of Reservation Delivery Only

Some room rates have pricing managed directly through the booking channels. You will not be able to update the pricing for these room rates through channel manager. However, you can change these room rates directly via booking channels. Therefore, the pricing for these room rates will display as N/A so that channel manager will not send any pricing or restrictions to this type of rates. (See Mapping Guide for more details)

Types of Rate

There are 2 types of rate in channel manager which describe below.

Derive Rate	Pricing can be managed in one place and all the connected room rate in a booking channel will get updated at the same.
Manually Input Daily Rates	Pricing can be managed individually for a connected room rate in a booking channel.

Derived Rate(Master Rate)

You can manage your room availability and pricing for all booking channels that are connected to Channel Manager.

Room availability and Pricing can be easily managed under Calendar table easily. When update room availability and rate thru Channel Manager, it will automatically to all applicable channels that connected with Derived rate.

When you receive bookings from our Channel Manager, the room inventory in Derived Rate will automatically reduce accordingly. Then our Channel Manager will repeat sending new inventory to all channels once again.
