Mapping a Generic Room Type to Property-Specific Room Types

After generic sleeping room types are created, you can map the property-specific room sleeping room types to the generic sleeping room types. This mapping facilitates the conversion of generic room block items during the create quote process. This procedure assumes that the appropriate room types for the property have already been created.

To map a generic sleeping room type to property-specific sleeping room types, follow this procedure.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Sleeping Rooms.

To map a generic room type to property-specific room types

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
2. In the Properties list, query for the required property.
3. Click the link in the Property Name field, and then click the Sleeping Rooms view tab.
4. Click the Map Sleeping Rooms link.
5. In the Generic Sleeping Room list, select a generic sleeping room type.
6. In the Sleeping Room list, associate one or more property-specific sleeping room types with the selected generic sleeping room type.
7. In the property-specific sleeping room type record, enter a value in the Percentage to Sell field. This value specifies the percentage of each specific sleeping room type to reserve for a single generic sleeping room type.

   For example, suppose a generic sleeping room type named Generic Standard is mapped to two property-specific room types named Standard Smoking and Standard Non Smoking, with Percentage to Sell values of 25 percent and 75 percent, respectively. If a customer requests 100 Generic Standard sleeping rooms, the quote will reserve 25 rooms for Standard Smoking and 75 rooms for Standard Non Smoking.

   NOTE:  If a generic sleeping room is mapped to multiple property-specific sleeping room types, the sum of the Percentage to Sell values must equal 100 percent. If a generic sleeping room is mapped to a single property-specific sleeping room type, the Percentage to Sell value must be 100 percent.
