When a hotel system sends out a status message to notify other systems of the availability at the property, the Status Application Control uses the Inventory Block codes to determine the status of availability for the block.
The <OTA_HotelInvBlockNotifRS> returns a response to the Hotel Inventory Block Notification, indicating that the message was successfully processed. 

Business Rules

• The RatePlanCode will be automatically created in the CRS for use with the block. Any rate plan codes specified by the PMS are ignored.If a RatePlanCode is provided, that rate code must already exist in the CRS in order for it to post along with the group. If the provided RatePlanCode is not already created in the CRS, this will be ignored and an auto generated RatePlanCode will be used instead. This rate code will be G:InvBlockCode. Example using sample provided below - G:30010000087

• If a RatePlanCode is provided and does pre-exist in the CRS, any rate amounts sent along with the block request will be ignored and the rate amounts already posted for that RatePlanCode will be in effect for the group. If there are no rate amounts found on that rate plan for the dates of the block, then this will mean the group cannot be booked.

• If a RatePlanCode is not provided but rate amounts are included, a RatePlanCode will be auto generated. This rate code will be G:InvBlockCode. Example using sample provided below - G:30010000087

• A Group block cannot be cancelled (deleted) once reservations have been made against it.
