The following registry keys can be used to customise hotel procedures:
•If allotment-overbookings are generally allowed, enable registry key Allow allotment overbooking [29131]. If the entry is not enabled, the number of contracted rooms cannot be exceeded.
•If overbookings are permitted, registry key Increase allotment automatically to accommodate higher reservation demand [5488] will automatically raise the number of rooms in the allotment to include the extra rooms.
•Registry key Automatically reduce allotment if reservation is cancelled [5810] determines whether cancelled rooms are returned into the allotment’s or the hotel’s availability. In addition, you can also enable registry key [41561] which ensures that the number of rooms according to contract is never undercut by cancellations.
•Enable registry-entry [9433] to define that rooms being released from an allotment reservation will reduce the scope of allotment, if cancelled within the release period.
•You will be able to accept reservations before and after the contract period by entering a number of days under registry keys allotment tolerance before [5946] and allotment tolerance after [5947].
For example: Set registry key [5947] to 3. You are now able to enter a reservation from allotment, even if the check-out will be up to three days after the end of the contract period.
•Use the new registry-key [6172] to configure the types of allotments and/or group blocks to be available for selection when setting up a new allotment or group block. If left blank, all types are available.
•Registry key [815113] ensures that rooms which fall into the already released period (e.g. by manual adjustment of the scope or by way of cancelled reservations), are also released.
