Allow the “Mandatory” Rate Attribute to be set at Hotel Level (FEA92791)

SynXis CRS has been enhanced to allow the configuration of the “Mandatory” Rate Attribute on hotel level.  Until now the attribute could only be set at Chain or Brand level then propagated down to hotel level.

This change is necessary as certain hotel groups that are not part of brand, or hotels in regions where certain legal requirements apply, need the ability to define whether a hotel has to offer a rate or not. 
 

The following REST endpoints have been enhanced:

{
	"Attributes": {
		...
		"isMandatory": false,
		...
	},
	...
}
