FAQ - What is the difference between a positive sell limit and a negative sell limit?

 

A Positive Sell Limit sets the number of rooms available to sell to more than the number of actual physical rooms, which allows for overbooking. The intention is to compensate for cancellations and/or no-shows in order to reach 100% occupancy.

To set a positive sell limit, enter a number of rooms (flat) or a number for percentage (of the actual physical number of rooms) in the Set Sell Limits screen or directly edit the field in the Manage Sell Limits screen.

 

 

 

A Negative Sell Limit subtracts the number of rooms available to sell from the number of actual physical rooms. Set a negative sell limit when you want to exclude a certain room type or room class from being sold.

 

Negative Sell Limit

To set a negative sell limit, enter a negative number of rooms (flat) or a negative number for percentage (of the actual physical number of rooms) in the Set Sell Limits screen or directly edit the field in the Manage Sell Limits screen.
