In this menu of settings per channel presents a listing of extranets in which we have to set some parameters for the centralized management capability to configured.
This configuration is made by the e-GDS Support team according to the client needs.
(This configuration is done at the same time of the client training)
Allotment Level: the functionality of centralized management for all the channels that have been activated, can be activated or not.
How to deal with cancellations and modifications that increase availability: availability will be increased when they are canceled and modified reservations.
If we set it up "Never increase the number of “Total Rooms Available” automatically" what it happens in the cases of canceled/modified reservations is that the Total Available Rooms value will never be increased.
If we set it up "Increase to 1 room the “Total Rooms Available” (when the “Total Available Rooms was equal to zero before the change)" what it will happen in the cases of canceled/modified reservations is that the Total Available Rooms value will be increased to 1 when the total available rooms is equal to zero before the change.
If we set it up "Always increase the number of rooms of “Total Rooms Available” in the same amount of rooms from the cancellations / modifications" what it will happens in the cases of canceled/modified reservations is that the Total Available Rooms value will be increased for the same quantity of rooms that were canceled / modified
In this menu it will be managed the number of rooms that will be parameterized by the Centralized Management, containing the following fields:
Start Date;
End Date;
Type of Update;
Total Rooms Available;
Total Web Allotment;
Sold Rooms.
Note: If you choose to use this tool to deploy Extranets Allotment you won´t be able to use Bulk Operations or Day by Day Operations to send Allotment.
Total Rooms Available: corresponds to the total number of rooms that the Hotel aims to sell across all channels (which have centralized management active). The channel will not have access to this information.
Total Web Allotment: corresponds to the number of rooms available for each channel, and that will be consumed from the Total Rooms Available. The channel will have access to this information.
Sold Rooms: Number of rooms sold through the channels with centralized management active.
