The Edit function gives you the ability to modify the # of Rooms allocated per Room Type. Remember that a "Hard Allocation" reserves availability and the "Soft Allocation" guarantees a certain rate.The allocations entered here will only reserve availability in the Room Types, not individual Rooms. The availability adjustment will be shown on your Tape Chart, but will not be seen as individual bookings until a guest books one of the Rooms allotted to the Group. If a Group Booking changes the date or the # of Rooms needed, you will need to make the change here in order for it to release the allocations from availabiltiy.

Understanding the Allotment Grid

• Date Range: The dates of the Group Booking are shown in the top row of the Grid.
• Room Types: The left column contains the Room Types.with a number in parentheses. This number is the total number of Rooms available in this Room Type.

There are two types of Allocations available: For a full explanation of hard and soft allotments, see Hard and Soft Allocations

• Hard Allocation: The hard allotments will actually take rooms out of inventory and give them to this group.
• Soft Allocation: The soft allotments will allow the group to book up to X rooms at the negotiated rate.

Changing Allocations: Enter the number of Rooms will be allotted to this group by room type and date.

• In the Room Type row, you will see the number of Rooms available in that Room Type on the Date of the Booking (Highlighted green). This number is the # available after the hard allotments already entered for this group. 
• Change the total # of Rooms to allot to the group. This # must be equal to or lower than the # shown in the Avail: (green highlight)  up to the total available rooms in each cell. 
• Below the Grid, you will see the Room list and Rates. The total $ amount here is reflected in the Group Booking Header under Group Revenue. See Group Booking Header.
