Availability Table 4/5
Availability table allows You to offer available rooms day per day for
individuals. This table controls maximum sellable rooms at each day for
individual auction requests. So You can bid unlimited individual auction
requests, as system automatically hides Your hotel in all auctions where the
number of available rooms is ZERO.
Availability can be set up DAY per DAY or as BLOCK OF DAYS.
Availability table does NOT control group requests. Once You offer price for
group, it means, You have available rooms and agent can book the rooms.
More tips are specified in the main menu under buttom TIPS – only for registered hoteliers

Hotel profile, GEO, Availability table
Availability Table 5/5
Availability table controls maximum number of the sellable rooms at each
day for individual auction requests. You can choose the best auction
requests and / or bid all of them to increase Your hotel revenue. System
will not sell more rooms than specified in the AVH table. After each
reservation the AVH table deducts the number of the sold rooms.
If You close some days, You will not receive auction requests over these
days.
If You re-open some closed days, Your hotel will be automatically switched
on at previously hiden auctions.
If You accept groups, You will always receive the group auction requests,
as they are not controlled by availability table.
