Configuring Block Cutoff Schedules

Prerequisites for Configuring Block Cutoff Schedules

Use block cutoff schedules to configure block allocation cutoff rules for selected date ranges and room types. Start by configuring the block cutoff codes, then load the cutoff schedule for each cutoff code.

A Cutoff Schedule can then be selected within a block to automate the setup of the cutoff dates for the various room types in the block allocation. For more information, see Managing Block Room and Rate Grid.
