Management of Room Block Characteristics at the Opportunity Stage

During the opportunity capture process, the sales representative can add detailed information to the room block record. One of the attributes which characterizes the room block is the room block type. The user can only select generic room blocks at the opportunity stage. The administrator creates the generic room blocks in the Product Administration screen. There are several types listed under the Room Type field, including:

• Generic Standard
• Generic Deluxe
• Generic Suite
• Generic Upgrade

During the create quote process, the system maps the generic room type to the property's sleeping room. This mapping process uses generic room block records, and each generic room block record has a list of actual property sleeping rooms associated to it. For more information about creating generic room block records, see Creating Generic Room Blocks, Adding Room Block Information to an Event Opportunity, and Mapping Generic Room Block to Property-Specific Room Types.
