How to apply price overrides in Mews RMS

 

You apply price overrides when you want to manually change prices for one or more stay dates in Mews RMS. As a revenue manager or property team member, you use overrides to lock a specific price or temporarily change the price boundaries for selected dates. You typically apply overrides for high-demand dates, events, or short-term pricing decisions. You do this in Mews Operations, in the main menu under Revenue > Pricing. This gives you direct control over pricing for specific dates without affecting Mews RMS optimization for other dates. Note that Autopilot does not change a fixed price override, and Mews RMS only generates recommendations within the boundaries of a hierarchy override.

In this article, you can learn about:

• How to apply a price hierarchy override
• How to apply price overrides in bulk
• How to identify price overrides
• How to remove price overrides

How to apply a fixed price override

A fixed price override sets an exact price for a selected stay date and space category.

1. In Mews Operations, go to main menu  > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Click Edit prices.
3. Click the date field and select the stay date.
4. Optionally, select Days if you only want to apply the override on specific days of the week.
5. In the Override type field, click the dropdown and select Fixed price.
6. Enter the fixed price for the space categories you want to lock the price for.
7. Click Save.

Alternatively, open a stay date in the calendar or list. In the Daily view, click Edit price in the pricing card for the space category you want to override. Enter the price, then click Update price to save.

 

 

The fixed price now applies to the selected stay date and space category.

 

How to apply a price hierarchy override

A price hierarchy override changes the minimum and maximum price boundaries for selected dates.

1. In Mews Operations, go to main menu  > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Click Edit prices.
3. Click the date fields and select the stay date or date range.
4. Optionally, select Days if you only want to apply the override on specific days of the week.
5. In the Override type field, click the dropdown and select Price hierarchy.
6. Enter the new minimum and maximum prices for all space categories.
7. Click Save.

The price hierarchy override now applies to the selected dates.

 

For example, you increase the minimum price for a weekend with a local event to avoid underpricing.

How to apply price overrides in bulk

Use bulk editing when you want to apply overrides to multiple dates or space categories at the same time.

1. In Mews Operations, go to main menu > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Click Edit prices.
3. Click the date fields and select the date range.
4. Check the boxes next to the days of the week you want to include.
5. Check the boxes next to the space categories you want to include.
6. In the Override type field, click the dropdown and select the override type:
   • Fixed price: Sets an exact price for the selected dates and space categories. Autopilot does not change the price until you remove the override.
   • Price hierarchy: Changes the minimum and maximum price boundaries for the selected dates. Mews RMS continues to optimize within the new boundaries.
   • Occupancy: Adjusts the per-guest pricing for the selected dates and space categories, changing how much the price increases for each additional guest.
7. Enter the price values or boundaries.
8. Click Save.

The selected override now applies to all chosen dates.

For example, you apply a fixed price to every Friday and Saturday in one month.

How to identify price overrides

You can identify overrides in Mews RMS by checking the override status on the pricing views.

• The calendar view shows a on affected stay dates.
• The list view shows an override status for affected stay dates and space categories.
• The pricing panel shows the active override next to the price or price boundaries.

 

 

You can now quickly identify dates with manual pricing changes.

How to remove price overrides

Remove an override when you want Mews RMS to use price recommendations again.

Fixed or occupancy override

1. In Mews Operations, go to the main menu  > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Open a stay date in the calendar or list.
3. In the pricing card, click   and select Remove override.
4. To confirm the removal:
   • For an occupancy override or a price override for a manual rate, click Remove.
   • For a fixed override, accept the price recommendation to remove the override.

Hierarchy override

1. In Mews Operations, go to the main menu  > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Open a stay date to access the Daily view.
3. In the price boundary card, click  and select Remove override.

Fixed overrides in bulk

1. In Mews Operations, go to the main menu  > Revenue > Pricing.
2. Filter the list to show only dates with fixed overrides.
3. Accept the price recommendation on the dates you want to remove the fixed override from.

The override no longer applies to the selected dates.

 

With overrides applied, you stay in control of specific dates while Mews RMS continues to optimize all other pricing automatically.
