Extra Allotments (Flex Allotments)

This section enables you to load additional availabilities to the allotments loaded in the Allotment section with the related time of release. Room availability is normally linked to the Channel Manager and availability updates automatically. It can be managed on the supplier side in terms of increases/closures.

This section can also be used to enter additional availability to the Allotments section. In this case please be careful with manual availability management in case a reservation enters, as it does not update automatically.
