Override Rate: Keep Current Rate vs. Use New Rate .ng

Revision Date: 2026-04-17

Overview

The Enhanced Reservation Modification feature provides Front Desk users with greater control over guest pricing when changing stay details. Previously, modifying a room type or rate plan would trigger an automatic rate refresh, causing any manual price overrides to be lost and forcing staff to re-enter data.

This enhancement introduces a "Keep Current Rate vs. Use New Rate" prompt and an integrated Override Rate tool directly within the modification workflow. This ensures that manually negotiated rates are preserved during room moves or rate changes, reducing billing errors and improving the speed of service.
