You can now enter a stop-sell on the category rack. For further information on this subject see section Reservations - Category rack.
You can now specify the cancellation policies used at your property using registry key [32835].
You can now call up a dialog for selecting different packages in the reservation by clicking the button Rate selection next to the field Packages. The rates shown here are the same as in the rate info dialog.

The function Discount per day is now available in the reservation. This function handles promotions such as “Stay 3 nights – pay 2” by spreading the discounted rate over the entire period of stay, so that each night will, in fact, produce a revenue in accommodation. For further information on this function, refer to section Reservations - Reservation layout.
When adding a room via rooming list, you can now also specify the rate category at the same time.

You can now use the Checklist-button to call up a new tab. In this tab, you can note that certain pre-defined processes were carried out.

Pre- and post-stay mails can now be sent in form of “multi-part emails”. I.e. an html and a text message are sent in a single message. Depending on the email client, either the html mail or the text mail will be displayed. This is configured with registry keys [41409] to [41412].
The field Fix services in reservations with a package container can no longer be edited.

Even though an invoice holder has been specified for the reservation, you can now assign a different invoice holder for an individual room on the rooming list.

In reservations with frozen rates, the field Person type is now also disabled and cannot be edited, if the packages rates are defined by person types.
The booking conditions (fields Guarantee type, Prepaid type and Cancellation type) are taken over automatically. This now depends on a set priority. Hightest priority is given to the definitions in the hotel restrictions. Thereafter, SIHOT checks for definitions in rate segement restrictions, category restrictions, rate allocation restrictions, service restrictions, date-related package master files and the default setting in the package master file.
Previously, the field Sales date appeared only if the user had the specific rights to edit this field or if the field had been amended and it was different from the actual date the reservation was created on. Now, there is a new registry key [41617] which, when enabled, shows the sales date at all times, regardless of these two factors.
