What Is Allotment-to-Rate Plan Mapping?

Mapping an allotment to a rate plan ensures that the rooms sold through a rate plan target a specific allotment.

When creating a mapping, you must make sure that the validity period of the rate plan is included in the validity period of the allotment.

The mapping can be created for a set period and for certain days of the week.

Allotment Mapping Rule Management

It is not possible to have overlapping allotment mapping rules, that is, rules that apply to the same period (DOW are not considered), rate plan and channel, within an allotment. Allotment mapping rules must be created within the allotment period, otherwise an error message will be displayed.

If, upon a rule creation or modification within a specific period, an overlap occurs, the system will automatically split or override the existing rule(s) in order to reflect the desired change. Additionally, if two same rules are adjacent, the system will automatically merge them.

Some warning messages may be displayed:

•In case of an overlap, the user is prompted to confirm (or cancel) the change, with a warning message being displayed.

•If a rule is deleted, resulting in an empty period definition, the user is prompted to confirm (or cancel) the change, with a warning message being displayed.
