Use the 'allocation' method to allocate a % of your rooms, at specific Rates, to each Agent. See Add Agent Allocations.
Room Type and Rate allocations can be customized to each agent, however there are three agents that MUST have all ROOM TYPES allocated.
These 3 Agents are: MyPMS (front desk users), BC (website), and WR (Global Booking Network). See below for details on how to manage each.
Agent MyPMS (The rooms and rates that your logged in users 'see' when using MyPMS):
Agent WR (The Global Booking Network) and stop sending all rooms, or send unique rates through distribution:
Agent BC is the channel that is distributing rooms to your Booking Engine.
