Alternates Tab
The Alternates tab setup displays information used to refer guests to other properties in the case of a sold out date or room unavailability as well as defining what properties will be visible in the property list of values within different modules of the application. The Alternates tab will be visible for those properties that have the Multi-Property Cross Reservations add-on license code active. From this tab you can create New alternate properties, edit existing alternate properties, and delete existing alternate properties.

If the display sequence is not defined for one or more alternate properties, the alternate properties are displayed according to distance from closest to farthest from the property; if they have no distance specified, they are displayed in alphanumerical order.
Allow Cross Block, Sell, Post, Report. Check the boxes that apply, so that cross functions may be performed at this property. Check-box options appear grayed out if your property has not activated a Sales & Catering, Multi Property Base, Cross Reservations, or Cross Revenues license, or if any of these license codes are inactive.
If the OPERA Sales & Catering license is active for the alternate property, you can check the Block box, and the Sell box will be grayed out.
If the OPERA Sales & Catering and Multi Property Cross Reservations license codes are active for the alternate property you can check both the Block and Sell boxes.
If the Multi Property Cross Reservations license code is active for the alternate property you can also check both the Block and Sell boxes.
Alternate. Check this box to ensure that the property is listed as an alternate property. If you check this box you must also check the Sell box. However OPERA will Allow Cross Sell even with the Alternate check box unchecked. By marking this alternate property as an Alternate via this check box, the property will be displayed within the Cross Reservation Sell screen when the queried property (the one you are currently editing) is not available.
