Overbooking Limits

The Overbooking Limits allows the Revenue Manager/Hotel Manager to set up an overbooking strategy based on historical No Shows, last minute cancellations, and last minute early departures => the ultimate goal is to optimize the chance to reach 100% occupancy while minimizing the amount of "walks" due to un-planned overbooking.  

For more information on setting Overbooking Limits and how it affects the availability displays in various areas of RoomKeyPMS, use the following documentation:

Tweaks and Defects

  1. On the Guest Services Tab => when modifying a reservation to add Guest Services => the tax calculation would sometimes appear wrong for properties that use compund tax => however, upon saving the reservation, the calculation would commit properly on the Confirmation to the guest; just the clerk view during modification was affected.
  2. For properties that use Credit Card Interface =>  clerks that have permission to delete Credit Cards, the system now allows the deletion of Tokenized Credit Cards
  3. For properties using Heartland Credit Card Interface - there were some instances where the tokenized card would not save properly and the clerk would have to re-enter the real credit card from the guest, this has now been resolved
  4. Some properties were experiencing a timeout when printing Reports => Statistics => Room Nights & ADR by Client Type, this report has been optimized to run faster
  5. When using New Res-Add on => if switching from a Rate Plan on the first reservation to a Manual Rate on the second reservation => clerk would receive an error message; this has been fixed
  6. For properties using Custom Fields => when adding a Share to a reservation, in some instances, certain custom data for the share would overwrite custom data of the master guest
  7. When using the New Res-Add on function from the Transaction menu => the guest info was not copying to the new reservation
