3. '''Derived Prices (RLO)''' - If Booking.com has set up derived (RLO) prices for you where Booking.com calculates prices for different occupancies from the standard price sent from Beds24 set the Booking.com Rate Type to '''Per Day Pricing'''. <span style=color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> With derived (RLO) prices Booking.com do not allow you to send a single price. We recommend you use "Per Occupancy Pricing" instead so you can control all prices from Beds24.
*If you want to offer multiple price options for example a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans in [[Booking.com:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]].
For '''dorms''' Booking.com requires the bed price be sent to them as the room price. Therefore they do not accept a single price for a dorm. Make sure you set "Booking.com Rate Type"= Per Day Pricing. If you want to send a single price for other rooms you can create additional rate plans for single use in [[Booking.com:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]].
<span style=color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Booking.com does not support occupancy pricing for dorms. If you have dorms log into your Booking.com account and change your pricing model to "Standard" and set the Pricing model in Beds24 to "Per Day".
Booking.com can support more than one price per room and day.
If you need additional rate plans, for example a for different occupancies, or a non-refundable rate, or your rate plan contains meals, you can create additional rate plans in [[Booking.com:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]].
[[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these mapping instructions if you have multiple rate codes]].

'''OCCUPANCY_NOT_VALID'''
Check that "Max guests" set in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SETUP is the same as the occupancy you have set for the room in your Booking.com extranet.
'''Did not set price to XX on date xxxx-xx-xx for Room 'abd' and Rate Category 'def' and occupancy x because the room has a max occupancy of x.'''
You have either set the wrong number of guests in Booking.com or in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS > ) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP. Please correct so both numbers are the same.
