Managing Non-synchronized Master and Sub Block Status

When changing the Room or Catering Status of a master block, you are prompted to select whether to apply the status change to one or more sub blocks. If the sub block status change results in inventory being oversold at the room type, room class, or house level, and you have the applicable overbooking tasks granted to your role, you are prompted to over book the inventory. You can select to over book, and the status change is applied to the master and selected sub blocks. If you select Cancel, the status of the master and selected sub blocks remains unchanged.

When the Sales Allowance OPERA Control is active, you are prompted to over book the allowance if the inventory requested exceeds the available rooms in the allowance and if you have the Overbook Sales Allowance task granted to your role.

When updating the Catering Status of a sub block, an availability check is performed and the associated events are updated. If there is a conflict with one or more events, and the Waitlist OPERA Control is inactive, the status change is not applied to the master and selected sub blocks. If the Waitlist OPERA Control is active, then the master and selected sub blocks are updated, and the event where there is a conflict is waitlisted.

You can manage the status of sub block across multiple properties from a hub location.
