Description. Allow Linking of Package Allowance with other Rooms

Internal Name. PACKAGE_ALLOWANCE_LINKING

Property Determination. When the parameter is active, you may make use of package allowance linking. Package allowance linking enables multiple rooms to mutually consume the value of the allowances attached to the participating reservations. The rooms in a linked allowance relationship are known as the "source" room and the "target" room. The source room makes its allowance available to the target room. Whether or not the source room can draw on the allowance(s) of the target room (and/or the allowances of any other source rooms linked to the target room) depends on your response to a prompt that appears when the link is created: "Use other allowances on target room?" Your answer to this prompt determines whether the link is "one-way" or "two-way":

The former arrangement might involve a family staying at a property. The parents have one room with a breakfast allowance (we can call the parents' room the target), and the children are staying in a separate room (the source) with a breakfast allowance. The total value of the two allowances will be shared by the parents and the children.

The latter arrangement might be used for a PM room for a business block. The PM room, the target, serves to pool the allowances of the group (the sources) which will then consume the total value of their combined allowances.
