This article will outline our Occupancy Model settings that have recently been updated in YCS.
What does this change mean to you?
This is a new functionality that allows rates to be added based on the actual occupancy of the room and will mean that existing rates will be adapted to a per person occupancy format in the new YCS calendar. For the time being, this will only be available for YCS desktop.
You may be part of the test roll-out on April 6th. If not, you will see this change when rolled out globally in mid-April.
Example
If you have a room with a maximum occupancy of 5 and rates are loaded as single=1200/double=1300/full=1400, the new YCS calendar will display the following rates:
1 person=1200/2 people=1300/3 people=1400/4 people=1400/5 people=1400
How can I access these new features?
To access these new features of the YCS calendar:
Step 1. Log in to YCS
Step 2. Go to Rates & Availability >Calendar
Step 3. Select a single date or range of dates and click the Advanced tab on the right-hand side of the screen
Step 4. Scroll down to a rate plan and then select “Edit Price Based on Occupancy”
Step 5. You have now accessed the new features of the new version of the YCS calendar. Continue with one of the sections below to update rates.
How can I set rates by discount percentage?
Note about discount per occupancy: “Discounting” for the new calendar works by using the full occupancy rate as the base price. The discount percentage from the maximum occupancy is increased by the base discount percentage for each descending occupancy.
Example
If a room has a maximum occupancy of 3 and the full occupancy rate is 100 USD and the discount is 10% then the per occupancy rate would be as follows:
3 People: 100 USD
2 People: 100 – 10 = 90
1 Person: 100 – (10 x 2 ) = 80
Step 1. Set a rate for the full occupancy of the room
Step 2. Set the discount per unit of unused occupancy
Step 3. The rate per occupant will automatically be filled in
Step 4. Click SAVE RATES
How can I set rates by discount amount?
Note about discount per occupancy: “Discounting” for the new calendar works by using the full occupancy rate as the base price. The discount amount from the maximum occupancy is increased by the base discount amount for each descending occupancy.
Example
If a room has a maximum occupancy of 3 and the full occupancy rate is 100 USD and the discount amount is 10 USD then the per occupancy rate would be as follows.
3 People: 100 USD
2 People: 100 – 10 = 90
1 Person: 100 – (10 x 2) = 80
Step 1. Set the room rate for full occupancy
Step 2. Set the discount per unit of unused occupancy
Step 3. The rate per occupant will be automatically filled in
Step 4. Click SAVE RATES
How can I set rates by a specific rate percentage per person?
Note about setting a specific discount per person: A discount for an occupancy level can’t be left blank and can’t be negative. It is however possible to set a specific occupancy level at a discount percentage/amount higher or lower than the preceding or following occupancy level.
Example 1:
Base Price: 10,000
| Occupancy | Discount % | Rate |
| 4 | 10 | 9,000 |
| 3 | 15 | 8,500 |
| 2 | 20 | 8,000 |
| 1 | 25 | 7,500 |
Example 2:
Base Price: 10,000
| Occupancy | Discount % | Rate |
| 4 | 10 | 9,000 |
| 3 | 5 | 9,500 |
| 2 | 15 | 8,500 |
| 1 | 20 | 8,000 |
Example 3:
Base Price: 10,000
| Occupancy | Discount Amount | Rate |
| 4 | 1,000 | 9,000 |
| 3 | 2,000 | 8,000 |
| 2 | 3,000 | 7,000 |
| 1 | 4,000 | 6,000 |

| 3 | 5,000 | 5,000 |
| 2 | 3,000 | 7,000 |
| 1 | 1,000 | 9,000 |
Step 1. Set rate for full occupancy of the room
Step 2. Fill in the rate per occupant
Step 3. Click SAVE RATES
