Prepare interface

Important: Hoteladmin settings must be activated.

Categories

In order to establish an interface with HRS-DS, all room categories that are available in HRS-DS must also be available and linked in RoomRaccoon. It is not possible to leave room categories from HRS-DS unlinked. However, it is possible to leave room categories from RoomRaccoon unlinked and therefore not offer them on HRS-DS. Ideally, the number of room categories on HRS-DS and RoomRaccoon should match.

Offer fewer room categories than before? This is possible, the obsolete room categories can be deleted or deactivated before the interface is created on HRS-DS.

Rates

All rates to be linked have to be set by the hotelier at HRS-DS as well as at RoomRaccoon. It is important that these can be clearly assigned to each other by name. In addition to a standard rate, HRS-DS offers 9 further rates which are to be named in the extranet of HRS-DS. All rates that are not required must be deactivated by removing the tick.

Extra bed surcharge

HRS-DS allows RoomRaccoon to transmit a standard usage rate and a single usage rate. Should there be a surcharge for each additional person beyond the standard usage rate, this must be entered manually by the hotelier in the extranet of HRS-DS.

Afterwards, the price overview looks like this:

Minimum and maximum stay

HRS-DS distinguishes between two different types.

• Normal min./max. stay: Applies on the day of arrival.

• Continuous min./max. stay: Applies on every booked day.

RoomRaccoon can only trigger the normal min./max. stay. If a continuous min./max. stay is desired, this must be set manually by the hotelier in the extranet of HRS-DS.
