Channel Inventory Setup - OEDS
The Channel Inventory Setup screen, accessed by selecting Configuration>Channel Inventory, allows a user to configure sell limits at the channel level or channel room type level for a specified date period or for specific days of the week. For example, a user can define that the channel Hotwire can sell only 10 rooms in month of August, and the ADS channel can only sell 3 King rooms on weekends.
Note: The Channel Inventory menu option is only available when the Channel Inventory OEDS application parameter is active. Prior to using this functionality, users must define the method that the channel inventory is selected in Opera. This is accomplished by defining the Channel Inventory Selection OEDS Application Setting.
If a channel sell limit is not defined, Opera allows the channel to sell the last available room at that property. If a channel sell limit is defined for the channel and there is an attempt to sell more rooms than allowed by the sell limit, Opera returns an "Inventory Not Available" message.
