Other Defaults for OXI_HUB
This default page is the Other default page. The OPERA values can be chosen by selecting the 
button seen alongside the text entry field. A list of configured OPERA values for this item displays. The external system values have to be inserted in a free-format style, but need to be valid for the external system to accept the record. Please be aware of case sensitivity when filling in values in the external system column for the defaults.
Global Defaults are recognizable as RED text entries. When you are in a property-specific default level the defaults will be standard BLACK text entries.
Please note that global defaults should apply to all properties linked to this interface. It is recommended to set global defaults and validate afterwards whether all defaults apply to all properties, or whether property-specific defaults are needed.
You can find out if you are in Global mode by checking the toolbar on top of the screen – it should read Global Defaults for the Interface OXI-OPERA. Further, global default values are shown in RED.
Example: Screen of Global Others defaults.
Maximum Availability in Advance
This section defines for how long in advance you can receive or send messages for data modules that affect the inventory. If you want to restrict your reservations to the external system to, for example, days 720 in advance and not send any reservations beyond that inventory time span, you would select availability type Day and availability in advance for 720 (days).
Maximum Availability Type Setting of the availability types either in Days or by Week
Maximum Availability in Advance Setting of the number of days/weeks availability in advance will be allowed
Start Day of the Week Day of the week from which the time format will be calculated
Note: If any value for the Maximum Availability in Advance is changed, the OXI_HUB processor has to be restarted in order to activate the new settings.
External System Currency Details
Currency Code The currency code the external system is sending and expecting
Currency Format Select the format mask matching the external system currency code
Currency Multiplier Currencies that have denominations without decimals need to be set to convert correctly for messages from the external system. Amounts sent by external systems will be multiplied by this value when set.

Note: If any value for the ‘External System Currency Details’ is changed, the OXI_HUB processor has to be restarted in order to activate the new settings.
A maximum of two default trace departments can be selected and configured.
Trace Department 1 or 2 Select by clicking on the button seen alongside the text entry field. A list of valid OPERA trace departments appears. The first trace department is used when OXI_RESERVATIONS parameter COMMENTS_AS_TRACES = Y.
Trace on Arrival Date – Set the trace start date in OPERA by inserting the number of days prior to the arrival of the guest.
Always Overwrite
You can decide to capture all mandatory interface warnings as traces in the respective reservation they belong to. To do so, the OXI_GENERIC parameter WARNINGS_AS_TRACES must be set to Y. All warnings that have occurred during the download of a reservation will be registered as traces with a start date equal to the current system date.
Trace Warning Select by clicking on the button seen alongside the text entry field. A list of valid OPERA trace departments appears.
