Auto Attach Elements

Prerequisites for Auto Attach Elements

Auto attach elements are rules defined to auto-update various fields (elements) on a new reservation entered via the Look to Book Sales screen.

When Reservations > Advanced Discount is active in OPERA Controls, an Advanced Discount element type is enabled for the following base conditions:

• Membership

• Preferences

• Rate Code (rate code must be flagged discountable in rate definition)

• Room Type

• Specials

Select an advanced discount reason code to attach to the reservation based on the condition specified. For example: based on membership = OR, attach the advanced discount code, OR10, to the reservation.

When the Auto Attach rule applies, the Element Type field updates automatically on the reservation.

Note:

The Auto-attach Elements function does not apply to reservations made from the rooming list entry.

The fields that are updated on a reservation are determined by the condition defined in the rule, for example:

• Specials updated on a reservation based on membership type.

• Specials updated on a reservation based on rate code.

• Specials updated on a reservation based on room type.

• Traces added to the reservation based on rate code.

• Traces added to the reservation based on room type.

• Packages updated on a reservation based on membership type.

For example, a rule could be configured as follows:

IF RATE CODE = 'CORP01'

then UPDATE SPECIALS with 'FB' (Fruit Basket)
