I need help with the new username that I created. When I try to login, it shows that I don't have permission to login from this location. Why can't I?

How can I change the room rate for tonight only?
You can setup a Peak Date in Management > Rates > Peak Dates > Click Add New then select the date you have created and fill in the parameters of the rates for the room types before saving the information.

You can adjust any future rates in the system using your seasonal room rates in Management > Rates > Room Rates > Select the Season and adjust the rates as needed per room type.
I need to get rid of a rate season and don't know how?
You cannot fully delete a rate season in your system, but you can backdate it by setting a date range that predates your oldest season. Be sure to check that there are no gaps or overlaps in the date ranges, including for older, expired seasons in your system.
Please explain how or why this would be used this Excp/Fixed?
When creating a discount code in your system you can choose one of three discount options. Percent takes a percentage off of your rate, exception fixed gives you a fixed rate to be used for the discounted amount, and flat rate works like a coupon and takes a flat amount off the available rate.
Can you remind me how to enter an amount in the Excep/Fixed discount codes?
To apply a fixed discount code, first select the season and room type you want to update. Then, enter the fixed rate for your discount code in any of the available rate fields up to six people.
How can you deactivate the automatic print during check in?
This is a setting for your registration cards that you can adjust in Management > Property Settings > Forms and update the number of copies to print upon check-in to zero.
