The “No XML” label (shown as “No XML” in the English version of the Extranet) means that the rate plan is not connected to mobile-calendar. XML is the format the Channel Manager uses to send data to Booking.com. If a rate plan has no XML connection, mobile-calendar does not send it prices, availability, or restrictions (e.g. minimum length of stay).

**Where does the “No XML” label come from?**

After you connect mobile-calendar to Booking.com, you manage rate plans in mobile-calendar, and the system sends them to Booking.com. If a rate plan is added directly in the Booking.com Extranet, it does not exist in mobile-calendar. Booking.com then labels it “No XML”.

**What are the risks of a rate plan labeled “No XML”?**

- Prices and availability in this rate plan are not updated automatically.
- Guests may see outdated prices or book a room under conditions you did not set.
- Data in mobile-calendar and Booking.com is no longer consistent.

**How do you fix this?**

- Delete the rate plan labeled “No XML”. For detailed instructions, see [Deleting rate plans on Booking.com](https://docs.mobile-calendar.com/en/guides/integrations/booking-com/removing-rate-plan-booking-com).
- Create the required rate plan in mobile-calendar. For detailed instructions, see [Creating rate plans on Booking.com](https://docs.mobile-calendar.com/en/guides/integrations/booking-com/adding-rate-plan-booking-com).
- From now on, add and change rate plans only in mobile-calendar.
