# Configure FBO Rates

> Set up rate sheets for hangar storage, fuel uplift, ramp services, and transient parking with seasonal pricing and contract rate overrides.

By following this guide, you will create and manage rate codes for hangar storage, ramp services, and fuel uplift, configure seasonal pricing adjustments, and set up contract-specific rate overrides for key customers.

<Info>
  The FBO module must be enabled for your workspace. Contact your workspace administrator if you do
  not see the FBO section in the sidebar.
</Info>

<Info>
  Rate configuration requires the **FBO Manager** or **Admin** role. Rate changes apply to new
  bookings and reservations. Existing bookings retain the rate in effect at the time of creation
  unless manually updated.
</Info>

## Create a Rate Code

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open rate management

  Navigate to **FBO > Rates** in the sidebar and click **New Rate**.

  ### Step 2: Configure rate details

  | Field            | Description                                                           |
  | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | **Name**         | Descriptive name (e.g., "Standard T-Hangar Daily", "Corporate Ramp"). |
  | **Rate type**    | Classification: `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`, or `seasonal`.          |
  | **Base rate**    | Default per-period charge in USD.                                     |
  | **Weekly rate**  | Optional discounted rate applied to stays of 7+ days.                 |
  | **Monthly rate** | Optional discounted rate applied to stays of 30+ days.                |
  | **Active**       | Toggle to enable or disable the rate code.                            |

  ### Step 3: Save the rate

  Click **Save**. The rate code is available for assignment to units, reservations, and bookings.
</Steps>

## Apply Rates to Units

Each reservable unit (hangar, tiedown, ramp spot) can be assigned a default rate code that is automatically applied to new bookings.

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open unit settings

  Navigate to **FBO > Units** and select the unit to configure.

  ### Step 2: Assign a rate code

  In the unit detail view, select the default rate code from the **Rate** dropdown. The system uses this rate when generating invoices and reservation estimates for this unit.

  ### Step 3: Save

  Click **Save**. New bookings for this unit default to the assigned rate. Staff can override the rate on individual bookings when needed.
</Steps>

## Configure Seasonal Pricing

Seasonal rate adjustments allow you to charge different rates during peak and off-peak periods without creating separate rate codes.

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the rate detail

  Navigate to **FBO > Rates** and select the rate code to add seasonal pricing.

  ### Step 2: Add a seasonal adjustment

  Click **Add Seasonal Rate** and specify:

  * **Season name** -- e.g., "Winter Peak", "Summer Low".
  * **Start date** -- first day the seasonal rate applies.
  * **End date** -- last day the seasonal rate applies.
  * **Adjusted rate** -- the rate during this season.

  ### Step 3: Save

  Click **Save**. The system automatically applies seasonal rates to bookings whose dates fall within the seasonal window.
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Create seasonal rates well in advance so that availability queries and reservation estimates
  reflect accurate pricing. Seasonal rates take precedence over the base rate for overlapping date
  ranges.
</Tip>

## Set Contract Rate Overrides

Contract customers (based aircraft, volume accounts) often negotiate rates below the standard rate sheet. Contract rate overrides ensure these customers are billed at their negotiated price.

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the customer's contract

  Navigate to **FBO > Contracts** and open the customer's contract.

  ### Step 2: Set contract pricing

  In the contract detail, specify the contracted rate for each applicable service. Contract rates override both the base rate and seasonal adjustments for the contract customer.

  ### Step 3: Save

  Click **Save**. All bookings and invoices for this customer automatically use the contract rate during the contract period.
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Contract rate overrides bypass seasonal pricing. If a contract customer should also receive
  seasonal adjustments, build the seasonal discount into the contract rate rather than relying on
  the seasonal pricing system.
</Warning>
