Extra Allotments (Flex Allotments)

This section enables you to load additional availabilities (Free Sale) 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.

New Extra Allotment

It is possible to indicate the day of the week

  • Start Date and End Date: dates of the rooms availability

  • Generic the counters of the extra allotments can be of three types:

    • not generic: there is a counter for each type of room inserted (e.g. 2+2+2...)
    • generic: there is a single counter for all types of rooms inserted (which must therefore always be the same for each expected occupancy)
    • double only: double rooms and twin rooms share the same counter, while all other room types have their own dedicated counter
  • SGL (Single), DBL (Double), TWN (Twin), TRP (Triple), QUD (Quadruple): fields dedicated for the inserition of the number of rooms for each room type
  • Release: the number of hours before check-in within the room can be released, if unsold
  • Max Release: the maximum number of hours before check-in within which the room can be released, if unsold
  • Remove: this allows the lists of free sale rooms entered to be removed, if selected Attention: if the contract provides only rooms in Free Sale, the Allotment section needs to be always filled by inserting the value 0 in all the fields dedicated to the number of rooms
