Change Room Type on existing Room numbers

See the article How do I change a Room Number to a different Room Type in NebulaPMS? on how to make the necessary changes.

Load rate amounts on new room types
The next step is to add the Rate Amounts or values. Navigate to Settings -> Rates -> Rate Amounts. 
  1. The user can define rates as Per Unit/Room or Per Person. Unit rates are charged per unit/room for up to a certain number of guest occupying the Room.
  1. Therefore, a Unit rate could be 2000 per room for up to two adults, in essence this means that if you have two or less adults you will be charged the unit rate. If you have more than two adults you will be charged the unit rate as well as the Extra Adult rate for each extra adult after that.
  1. When using Per Person rates, the Single rate is charged when one guest occupies the room and the Sharing rate is utilised when a room is being shared. 
  1. When an extra adult occupies the room the system utilises the "Extra Adult" Rate.
Please Note
Unit Rates and Per Person Rates cannot be utilised on the same Room Type. The user needs to define either a Unit rate or Per Person rate per Room Type.
  1. To add the Rate Amounts select the Rate Code, Year, Currency and Property from the drop down menus.
  1. Select the Season and enter either a unit or single and sharing per person rate amount. Remember to include the "Up to" pax amounts. To ensure that the amount has been saved or entered successfully, tab to the next line or click in another block.
Once the above has been completed the Rate will now be active in NebulaPMS on new room types
Move Reservations to new room types
Once you have loaded the new room types and completed the rates, you can then move the reservations to the new room types.
