Creating Sub-Allocations

Use Manage Block to create a sub-allocation. A sub-allocation takes rooms from the Master Allocation and marks them for reservations.

You must create a Master Allocation before creating a sub-allocation.

1. From the OPERA Cloud menu, select Blocks, and then select Manage Block.
2. Search and select a Master Allocation block.
3. Click I Want To... and select Create Sub Allocation.
4. In the Associated Profiles step, select a Company, Travel Agent, Source, or Group to associate with the Sub-Allocation.
   If no profile exists for the Associated Profile you select, the system lets you create the profile before continuing.
5. Click Next.
6. In the Block Details step, the start and end dates align with the master allocation dates.
7. Enter a Block Name. The Block Code is generated automatically.
8. Search and select a Market code and Source code.
9. In the Rates / Packages section, click Add to search and assign a rate code to the allocated rooms.
10. In the Block Status step, select a status that reflects the current state of the block. For example, a Definite status may allow pickup, a Lost status returns rooms to inventory, and so on.
11. In the Room Details section, you can specify cutoff dates/days for reserving rooms, reservation methods, rooming list due dates, a decision date, a follow-up date, and currency.
12. Click Save and go to Presentation to view the Master Allocation. Click Master / Sub to view the Sub-Allocation.
