Rate Diagnostics

Rate Diagnostic Routine (ERRbbbuu)

This is the diagnostic procedure to help determine which rate record is being utilized to come up with the automatic rates for a folio. Especially useful for determining why automatic rates are incorrect.

Procedure

  1. User code must have the RES: RATE DIAGS turned on. Check this in user code setup H-U.

  2. After making sure Rate Diags is authorized, exit First Resort to the F:\ACCOUNTS DOS prompt.

  3. From the F:\ACCOUNTS directory, type DIR ERRbbbuu. Use the business code instead of the bbb and the user code in place of uu. Once you verify that the ERRbbbuu file exists for this user, delete the file by typing DEL ERRbbbuu.

  4. Log back into First Resort and set up a test folio with a stay for a period in which an incorrect rate is occurring. Validate the folio rates by editing the folio and pressing F10.

  5. Exit back to DOS and print out the ERRbbbuu file. (If you are on a network, type NPRINT ERRbbbuu NB NFF Q="?", where "?" is the name of the network printer you are sending the file to.)

  6. The print out will list which rate records the software utilized to come up with the final rates on the folio.

Make sure that you delete the ERRbbbuu file before running this procedure. The ERRbbbuu file can be extremely large and cumbersome if not deleted prior to running this procedure. When run properly, the report will give you a summary of which rate records are valid for a particular stay and a breakdown of how the system is coming up with a particular rate.
