Automatic release of rooms

Setting an allocation to automatically release

One powerful feature of RoomTrust is the ability to automatically release unsold rooms, or rooms not picked-up, at the Cut off/Release date. These are rooms that have no name in them at the first Cut off/Relase date.

This is a recommended setting for most allocations as it ensures that you will hold no rooms after the Cut off or Release date for which you could be financially responsible.

This is a setting that can be defined either at the point of making a hotel request or when preparing a manual allocation.

This setting can be defined when making a new hotel request by changing the Release of unsold rooms setting to Automatic.

The setting can also be defined when setting up a Manual allocation in the same field.


Changing an existing allocation to automatically release rooms.

If a room block or allocation was not initially set up to automatically release rooms the setting can be changed via the View allocation function from both types of allocation.
