A **NET\_RATE** plan is quoted net and may receive a distribution markup or discount; a **COMMISSIONABLE** plan is already quoted at the guest-facing selling price and the supplier pays commission out of it. Distribution rules scope the permitted adjustment by market, sub-agency or product, while a minimum selling rate keeps the resolved price from going too low. *** ## Net rate or commissionable The model belongs to the rate plan, not to the search request and not to a sub-agency-facing response field. Different plans sold to one sub-agency may use different models.

NET_RATEThe supplier quote is net.The distribution layer may apply its matching markup or discount. The plan carries no supplier commission.
COMMISSIONABLEThe supplier quote is the guest-facing selling price.The distribution-markup step is skipped. The supplier commission is calculated from the plan's commission rate and resolved commission base.
These two earnings paths are mutually exclusive for the same rate plan. A sub-agency may separately add its **own retail markup** to the amount it owes under either model. That downstream markup belongs to the sub-agency and is never folded into the provider's commercial breakdown. *** ## Layering Rules stack from general to specific, so you set a baseline once and override only the exceptions. * **Market default**: applies to everything a market sells. *"CIS market +12%."* * **Sub-agency override**: adjusts one sub-agency against the market baseline. *"Macedonia sub-agency −10%."* * **Product-specific**: pins a rule to a property, room or rate plan. *** ## A fixed amount per room or per person A distribution rule, and a sub-agency's own retail markup, can add a fixed amount instead of a percentage. **Charged on** says what the amount is counted on: | Product | Choices | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Stay | **Each room, each night** or **Each guest, each night** | | Tour, transfer or flight | **Each booking** or **Each person** | Charged per person, a fixed amount can take its own **Child amount**; left empty, a child pays the adult amount, and on a stay infants pay nothing. *A 5 EUR markup on each guest, each night, with a 2 EUR child amount, adds 36 EUR to three nights for two adults and one child.* The form shows the result for a sample party as you type. *** ## Which rule wins Give overlapping rules distinct priorities so the intended exception is explicit. A higher priority takes precedence. For example, give Hotel Sunrise's agreed sub-agency price a higher priority than the broad market default. Review a quote for the intended property, sub-agency and dates before opening sales. If the result differs from your agreement, check the rule's scope and priority. *** ## The price floor A minimum selling rate is a floor on the resolved selling price. If a promotion or distribution discount would push the price below it, Adrasis raises it back to the floor, it never rejects the sale. Commission does not reduce the commissionable plan's guest-facing selling price; it is settled out of that price. {% hint style="warning" %} **The floor clamps, it does not block.** An over-discounted price is lifted to the minimum and the booking proceeds. You never lose a sale to a too-low rule. {% endhint %} *** ## Plan currency and sub-agency access A sub-agency can be offered independently authored EUR and TRY contract plans from the same property. Existing access and market rules determine which plan the sub-agency can sell; choosing EUR or TRY as a quote currency grants no additional access. Scope a fixed provider markup or floor price to the matching plan and use that plan's currency. Apply a property-wide fixed term only to plans in the property currency. The sub-agency's own retail markup is applied to the converted quote in the quote's currency. *For Hotel Sunrise's TRY plan, enter a plan-specific TRY 400 markup. An EUR 10 property-wide markup is not interpreted as TRY 10.* *** ## What stays private Sub-agencies and API partners receive the payable price and the terms they need to sell and book. The provider's private price composition is not part of their price breakdown. A sub-agency's own retail markup is visible to that sub-agency. ## Where to next * **Scope the markets a rule applies to** → [Markets](/console/sales-and-distribution/markets.md) * **How prices are built from rate plans** → [Pricing engine](/console/pricing-and-availability/pricing-engine.md) * **Choose which products a sub-agency sees** → [Access](/console/sales-and-distribution/access.md)
