A Cancellation Policy determines the rules applied to a reservation when changed to 'Cancelled' status.
A Cancellation Policy can be setup on a Rate Type, Derived Rate Type, Rate Type Property Rule, Rate Table and Rate Period or selected on the Reservation.

| Rate Type Property Rule | ||||||||||||
| Rate Period | ||||||||||||

The Cancellation Policy selected on the Reservation will override the policy setup on the Rate Type, Derived Rate Type, Rate Type Property Rule, Rate Table or Rate Period.
The Cancellation Policy setup on the Rate Type Property Rule will override the policy setup on the Rate Type, Derived Rate Type, Rate Table or Rate Period.
The Cancellation Policy setup on the Rate Period will override the policy setup on the Rate Type, Derived Rate Type or Rate Table.
The Cancellation Policy setup on the Rate Table will override the policy setup on the Rate Type or Derived Rate Type.

The Cancellation Policy setup on the Rate Type will be overridden by any setup on the Derived Rate Type, Rate Type Property Rule, Rate Table and Rate Period or selected on a Reservation.
