Block Offset Types Configuration
The Block Offset Types screen allows you to edit and activate/deactivate pre-configured block offset room types for your business block. Block offset types are rooms having reduced rates from their associated rooms and rate codes. This includes Complimentary, Staff, Concessionary, and similar rooms with reduced rates. For more information, see Block Offset Types Functionality.
