Adding another angle that reinforces why this needs to live outside of Restrictions: we have a customer managing several corporate/negotiated rates that are only valid for a limited set of room types. Today, the only way to enforce that is to close every other room type on that rate one by one via Restrictions — but Restrictions is also how the same property does its yielding, so one panel ends up doing two different jobs. That makes it easy to apply the wrong commercial restriction by mistake and takes room-type control for contracted rates out of revenue management's hands.
On top of that, even when the negotiated rate has no restrictions and is priced below BAR, Minimum Rate in Mews Operations never picks it up automatically once the company is attached — staff still have to manually select it from the rate dropdown every single time, which is inconsistent across a multi-property team and easy to miss.
Being able to define which room types a rate code/voucher is valid for natively (independent of Restrictions), and having Minimum Rate correctly consider those rates once they're eligible, would solve both problems together. This is a common way hotels contract company-specific rates with limited space types, and right now there's no clean workaround for it.
