Allocate Room Types 


Section


Column

A Room Type is a package; it has a description, picture, maximum guest capacity and rate. A Room Type may be a common description for a number of Rooms, or it may represent a single room.

When creating a Room Type you must provide the Room Type ID, the default Rate ID, the number of Rooms that belong in that type, the room class, the number of Bedrooms and the Maximum number of Guests. We encourage you to provide accurate full room and view descriptions as this information is available during online & GDS bookings.
*When you add or remove a room type remember to modify your agent allocations so it's available to the desired channels. For more information see the Agent Allocations section of the setup area.

Once you have set up the Room Types, they will automatically be visible in your Front Desk for bookings. However, if you want these Room Types to visible and available in online channels, they must be allocated to the proper Agent Channels. See Agent Relationships

To allocate Room Types to an Agent Channel. Go to Setup | Relationships | Agent Relationships 

Click on the # of Rooms for  the corresponding Agent Channel, Click Add. For details see, Add Room Type Allocations

Room Type and Rate allocations can be customized to each agent. And, you can add or delete allocations from most of the Channles yourself in MyPMS. NOTE: Booking.com, Expedia, and GDS allocations must be completed by BookingCenter. Please contact us if you want to add or modify and Room Types or Rate Plans to these Channels.
