Information
Allotments allocate inventory available to a connected channel for the selected Rate Types.
Connected channels can be setup to use Default Allotments, Channel Allotments or have access to Full Availability.
RMS will use the newest record when more than one exists for the same date and Restriction Type.
The following options are available to determine when an Allotment comes into effect.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Date Range | Apply the inventory allotment for a single date range, multiple date ranges or permanently. |
| Day of the Week | Apply the inventory allotment for set days of the week within the date range. |
| Occupancy | Set an occupancy benchmark that will prompt the inventory allotment to come into effect once reached. Occupancy will be determined using the Occupancy Calculation Rule for the Property. |
| X Nights from Today | Set an inventory allotment with a lead time that rolls forward by the entered number of days. This option will set the allotment to always start the entered number of days ahead of the current date. |
Category, Area, Reservation, Guest, and Rate are default System Labels that can be customised.
Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
