It is often necessary to allocate a room in a different category than the reserved allotment category. To ensure that this does not cause an alteration in the occupancy figures, note the following:

•    Change the category on the rooming list only.

•    Do not change the allotment category entered in the reservation data.

•    Change the rate category only if you need to adjust the rate (e.g. charge a lesser rate for a downgraded room).
