Source Codes

Select Configuration > Rate Management > Codes > Source Codes to configure source codes for your properties. Use source codes setup to manage and track the source of business (mail, telephone, fax, central reservations, travel agency). OPERA maintains source of business statistics. Just like market codes, source codes are attached to reservation records in order to track how the reservations come to the property. Source codes are also grouped into source groups for reporting. Every property or property chain determines the breakdown of source information it requires.

All source codes can be distributed to multiple properties from the Generic Template Configuration Form if the add-on license code OPP_MHOT Multi Property PMS has been activated.
