This program is part of the group of programs for capacity controlled rates.

Capacity controlled rates allow you to set a limit on how many reservations/rentals can be booked within a date range under a particular rate code in total or by car class. This feature creates a "Rate Calendar" similar in concept to the Fleet Planning Calendar. This report is designed to give the operator a picture of the current number of bookings for a capacity controlled rate.

To access the Print Rate Availability program, type PRINTRAV (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Planning Menu. The screen will then display:

OPTION: __ PRINT RATE AVAILABILITY 1 Location TUS 2 Rate 3 Class ALL 4 Start date 10-10-05 5 End date LATEST 6 Print/Display P Printer: prtspool 1BEGIN 2 3ERASE 4 5BACKUP 6 7HELP 8

Enter data as follows:

1. LOCATION	Enter up to 6 alphanumeric characters to indicate the Customers Pick-Up Location. Enter: Up to 6 alphanumeric characters to select a single location. A Group Name representing several locations. (The first character of a Group Name is the plus sign "+".) Type "ALL" for all locations. EXAMPLE: Type TUS (RET)
2. RATE	Enter up to 12 alphanumeric characters to indicate the rate product to be reported. A single rate must be specified. EXAMPLE: Type SPCL (RET)
3. CLASS	Enter up to 5 alphanumeric characters to indicate the class of vehicles to be reported. Press RET to default to all classes. EXAMPLE: Type ICAR (RET)
4. START DATE	Using your selected date format, enter the Starting Date. Press RET to default to today's date. EXAMPLE: Press (RET)
5. END DATE	Using your selected date format, enter the Ending Date. Press RET to default to the "LATEST" date through which the Rate Availability Calendar has been extended. EXAMPLE: Type 102005 (RET)
6. PRINT/ DISPLAY	Enter: P = Print a hard copy of this report on your terminal's assigned printer. See the Edit Terminal Records Chapter on how to assign printers. D = Display this report on your terminal screen. See the General Data Entry instructions Chapter on how to control the screen display. EXAMPLE: Type P (RET)

The screen will then display:

Observations:

Both CCAR and FCAR classes are shown on the report which means that the rate illustrated is capacity controlled without regard to vehicle class. In addition, there is no maximum imposed by class. (That line is blank.)

During the time period requested, the control imposed (through the Edit Rate Availability program) is 15 reservations or walk up rentals using this rate on any given day (notice bottom line "Rate Max"). If an attempt is made to create a new reservation using this rate for a date range that includes May 5, this rate would not be available for booking and the following message would display on the Reservation screen:

RATE SPCL IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THESE DATES; SELECT ANOTHER (PRESS RETURN)

Walk-up rentals are subject to the capacity controlled logic as well.
