Other Defaults for OXI

Table 23-4 Other Defaults for OXI and its Description

Other Defaults Description
Maximum Availability in advance This section defines for how long in advance you can receive or send messages for data modules that affect the inventory. If you want to restrict your reservations to the external system to, for example, 720 days in advance and not send any reservations beyond that inventory time span, you would select availability type ‘Day’ and availability in advance for ‘720’ (days).

  • Maximum Availability Type:

    Setting of the availability types either in Days or by Week

  • Maximum Availability in Advance:

    Setting of the number of days/weeks availability in advance is allowed

  • Start Day of the Week:

    Day of the week from which the time format is calculated. Only shows when the Max Availability Type is flagged as DAY.
External System Currency Details

  • Currency Code:

    The currency code the external system is sending and expecting. The revenue amounts sent in STAY messages to the external system are converted to the external system currency code configured in OXI here. The actual currency code (once code conversion, if configured, has occurred) of the revenue amount is also sent along with the revenue amounts.

  • Currency Format:

    Select the format mask matching the external system currency code

  • Currency Multiplier:

    Currencies that have denominations without decimals need to be set to convert correctly for messages from the external system. Amounts sent by external systems are multiplied by this value when set.

  • Decimal Indicator:

    Auto populated once the Currency Format is selected. Based on the currency format set in OPERA.

Note:

If any value for the External System Currency Details is changed, the OXI Services have to be restarted in order to activate the new settings.
Trace Department A maximum of two default trace departments can be selected and configured.

  • Trace Department 1 or 2:

    Select by clicking on the down arrow button. A list of valid OPERA trace departments appears.

  • Trace on Arrival Date:

    Set the trace start date in OPERA by inserting the number of days prior to the arrival of the guest.

  • Always Overwrite:

    If this box is checked, new traces sent by the external system always overwrite existing traces for the same trace department in the reservation. If this box is blank, new traces sent are appended to existing traces in the reservation and is not overwritten.
Trace Warning You can decide to capture all mandatory interface warnings as traces in the respective reservation they belong to. To do so, the OXI_GENERIC parameter WARNINGS_AS_TRACES must be set to Active. All warnings that have occurred during the download of a reservation are registered as traces with a start date equal to the current system date.

  • Trace Warning:

    A list of valid OPERA trace departments appears.

  • Always Overwrite:

    If this box is checked, new warnings always overwrite existing warnings in the reservation. If this box is blank, new warnings are appended to existing warnings in the reservation and are not supposed to be overwritten.
