A revenue management software system (10) supports decisions to accept or deny (108) requests (100) for resource capacity (seats, rooms, volume/weight, air time, etc.) using control logic that accesses (102) multidimensional lookup tables in a threshold value server (14, 104) of price values for each resource (flight leg, hotel day, etc.). Each dimension of each lookup table corresponds to a variable that affects the value of the resource i.e. the current time slot as one dimension and the number of available resources, e.g. seats, for the time slot for the other dimension. These variables are used to determine the minimum threshold value acceptable for the resource (102, 104). The threshold values are summed (108) and the request is accepted or denied (108) based on the requested fare and the total summed threshold values.
