Clone Booking: Completely clones the source booking including all guest detail, arrival and departure dates, room type and rates. This button, presented at bottom in line with other buttons, is only available after a Booking has been saved. At such a time, pressing the 'Clone Booking' button will make a duplicate booking, with NO ROOM assignment (even if the booking that is being used as the 'source' of the clone has a Room assignment, only the Type and Rate will clone to the new cloned booking). The cloned booking will have the same guest Details as the 'source' of the clone and if needed, the user will have to 'escape out' of the Guest record to enter a new Guest Details for the cloned booking. There is no longer any relationship between a cloned source and cloned booking once guest relationship has been escaped.
