What Are the Elements of a Group?
The group contract is the unique entity to which all the negotiated group information is linked, including the rate and inventory information.
A group contract is defined for a specific property. It is composed of three parts: general information, rates information and block information.
The general information is where you set the group code, group name, and group status, as well as the time periods for the contract. You can also enter contact information, general comments and billing instructions.
The rates information allows you to create a rate plan for the group, as well as rooms and services and their amounts.
You can also associate sales conditions and commission rules to this rate plan.
In order to make the rate plan associated to the group contract available to the distribution channels, a viewership rule is created automatically when the group status is changed to Definite.
You can define block information for this group, which sets the number and types of rooms available for the group during the planned stay period. If required, you can also set the block of rooms to be released at certain time periods.
