A Flat Amount discount code is a specific dollar amount that will be discounted from the applicable rack rate.
Path: Management > Setup > Rates > Discounts > Setup > General

1. Use the last empty line to start the new code.


2. Choose a Code and a Description. The code is limited to 4 characters, the description to 30.


3. Select "Flat Amt" as the discount type and enter the amount in the "Flat Amt" field.



4. Select if the discount code can be applied on weekdays, week-ends, or both.


5. If Tier Rates are setup, select if the discount code can only be applicable up to a specific tier or whatever tier rate.


6. Select the accounting code the discount code will be reconciled under. RD (Rate Discount) is the default code. Some discount codes may use another accounting code, like the Comp code.


7. Post Sep (seperately) will display (YES) or not (NO) the discount code on a folio.


8. Select "Yes" in Show Avail (Available) if the code is to be used locally and needs to show in the discount code dropdown in a reservation. Choose No if the code is only for online bookings. This will avoid having too many codes to scroll over when trying to find a discount code while creating a reservation.


9. The "Order" is the order the discount codes will be sorted in the reservation dropdown.


10. Select "Yes" to "Rate Private" if the discount code rate is meant to be Private.
Reminder: Private means that the rate will not show on the Reg Card but it will still show on the Folio.
