Rate Import Log
Rate Import Log
Purpose:
The Rate Import Log report provides a detailed record of all rates that have been imported into Rental Car Manager (RCM) over a specified date range. It allows administrators and support staff to review imported rate data, verify changes made during an import, and audit historical rate updates across vehicle categories, locations, and seasons.
Accessing the Rate Import Log report:
Reports>>Other Reports>>Rate Import Log
Parameters/Filters:
From Date | The start date from which you want to search the rate import history. |
To Date | The end date up to which you want to search the rate import history. |
Category | You can specify the category for which you are trying to find the rate import history. This filter helps filter out the results specific to the category for which you are trying to audit the rate discrepancy. |
Only Display Changed Rates | Checkbox to specify if you only want to see the logs for rate changes, to make it easier to find the rate change record you want to audit. |
Example:
Cat ID | The numeric identifier for the vehicle category associated with the rate change. |
Time Stamp UTC | The date and the time rate import weas processed, displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). |
Batch # | The batch number associated with the import job. All records processed together in a single import share the same batch number. This column is particularly important in this report as you can use this number to then see more details of a particular import batch on the Rate Import screen's Import History section. |
Imported By | The name or the identifier of the user that performed the import. |
Category | The name of the vehicle category the rate change applies to. |
Location | The Location the rate change applies to. |
Season | The season the rate change belongs to. |
Old Rate | The rate value that existed before the import was processed. |
New Rate | The rate value that was set after the rate import was processed. |
Rate Name e.g. 1-2 Days, 3-5 days, etc. | Note that this column is not included in this report as of now due to a technical difficulty. We will continue to work on this report to include the rate name so that it is more comprehensive, till then you might need to use the Batch ID and see the rate name details using the Import History section on the Rate Import page. |
