Business Block Restrictions

Note: When a reservation is attached to a block, only Restrictions that are set up on that Block will be considered and enforced.

When the Blocks>Set Block Pickup Restrictions application function is set to Y, the Business Block Restrictions screen is displayed by selecting the Restrictions button from the Business Block or Quick Business Block Options screen. This screen shows the restrictions that have been set up for that specific business block and for what specific room types by date. These restrictions apply to blocks that have or do not have a rate code attached to them.

Each entry is a record of a change made to the restrictions for the business block.

Note: Date restrictions can be set, but must be within the booking dates, no matter if the block reservation is elastic or non-elastic.
