Understanding the Property Conversions Screen for EQC Versions 5.0+

To facilitate queries and transactions through channels, conversion codes must be translated so that they can be understood by both OPERA and the GDS/ADS host. This is accomplished by using the Property Conversions screen, where you can map the OPERA conversion codes to the GDS/ADS host equivalents. For the EQC interface, only the property, room types, and rate codes need to be mapped.

To create or edit channel conversion mapping codes, select Setup>Configurations > Channels > Channel Conversion. The Property Conversions screen appears.
