Property Determination. Prior to activating the Overbooking function, properties should understand what overbooking is and how it is used in Opera.  Almost all properties tend to sell more rooms than are available during a peak period in order to reach 100% occupancy. Opera allows you to overbook in accordance with the set overbooking levels. The amount of rooms to overbook for a given date varies, depending on the number of expected cancellations between the current date and the projected date and the number of expected no-shows. The goal, of course, is to reach one hundred percent occupancy on high demand days and not to undersell the property simply because of cancellations and no-shows.
