New attribute added to schema: @FixedChargeInd. The attribute is boolean and optional.

If @FixedChargeInd="false" then the package is "not a fixed charge".

Else if the @FixedChargeInd="true" then the package "is a fixed charge". This is extra cost to the accommodation amount - but unlike the "add to rate" packages, it should not be included in the inbound reservation total amount to the PMS.

If at least one of Rate/@CachedIndicator is set to "true", then the PMS will ignore the resp rate details for this reservation and will use its latest known data.
@CachedIndicator is optional with default value of "false".
The values makes sense only for ResStatus="Modify".
The new use case eliminates the option for inbound rate modification, where the external service is not aware of any manual edits on the reservation rate details, to be lost.

In order to receive the Folio Item for a GroupReservation in pAir, we accept Type="36" as GroupMaster and sends back folio items accordingly.
In this case ID should be the GroupMaster ResID.
Since the GroupMaster ResID is needed for this case, vendors should know the ResID before sending in the FolioRQ. To do this, vendors need to be subscribed for IO_ResGroupNotifRQ Otherwise.
