URGENT: Availability Blocks for Groups no longer consider individual rates per room types, but only oldschool Base rate weights
Availability Blocks no longer copy rates from the BAR, even if setup to do so. Instead these load Base Rate with weights.
This old school way of Groups pricing is no longer viable for properties with advanced RMS where each room is being priced fully dynamically and independently.
Please bring back that functionality to this absolutely great feature. Since the availability blocks were introduced, our Groups managers cut hours spent on having to manually process each quotation. But without this pricing in there, the tool became useless, unfortunately.
Thank you.
Hello from the Mews product team,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with. We are currently resolving this request and would like to offer you the opportunity to test the updates in your demo, or live environment.
The updates are as follows:
When a block is created, we now copy the rate price per space category, per day as well as any price overrides and pricing adjustments. This logic results in less manual price updates when creating availability blocks. You can find a visual overview for this functionality in the recording below:

If you would be interested in testing this feature, please let me know by responding to this email.

Yes fully agree, since the latest update we are wasting so much time having to amend rates each time a block is created. Plus 90% of our rates are dynamic, not static which is now not possible to do.
