About Cluster Booking of Assets

In most cases, an event uses only those assets that are located at the property where the event is to occur. However, if the property does not have enough assets to satisfy the requirements of an event, that property can use the assets at another property that is located in the same property cluster. Siebel Hospitality allows sales representatives to add line items (that is, assets) that are located at other properties to the quote. This process is known as cluster booking.

When an asset has been added from a property in the cluster, this asset must can be AutoBooked, double-booked, or rerented in the same manner as assets that are located at the property. However, in this case, the assets are AutoBooked and double-booked using the Cluster AutoBook and Cluster Double Book options respectively, that are available from the Quote screen, Functions, Line Items view menu. For more information about AutoBooking, double-booking, and rerenting, see AutoBook and Noncritical Assets and About Double-Booking and Rerenting of Assets.
