Why Do I See Both Default Rates and Override Rates in Edit Rooms and Rates?

Learn why Event Temple displays both Default Rates and Override Rates in Edit Rooms and Rates. Understand how daily rate variations from Mews sync to your room blocks.

When editing room block details in Event Temple, you may notice that the Edit Rooms and Rates window displays both Default Rates and Override Rates.

This occurs when the assigned rate code in Mews has varying daily rates across your selected booking period.


How It Works

  • Default Rates: Displays the base or standard rate configured for the rate code.

  • Override Rates: Displays the specific, date-by-date daily rates pulled from Mews when daily pricing fluctuates (e.g., weekend surcharges, seasonal pricing, or event-based rates).

Because daily pricing varies over time, Event Temple displays both values to give you full visibility into how rates change across the entire duration of the room block.


Key Takeaways

  • System Behaviour: Event Temple accurately reflects the day-by-day rate structure set up in your Mews PMS.

  • Rate Transparency: You do not need to manually reconcile rate differences—the override rates confirm that date-specific pricing from Mews is active.

  • Making Changes: To adjust specific daily rates permanently, update the rate code rules directly in Mews, then sync your rates in Event Temple.
