99 Oversell count

AT this time, count type ‘1’ and ‘99’ are the only type supported by the CRS. Wave RMS however can also support CountType “8”

CountType 1 should represent number of remaining rooms hotel has available to sell for each room type.

If sending “99” for oversell, the amount of oversell should not also be included in the totals provided for count type”1”.

Example: Hotel has 50 physical rooms available but would like to allow an oversell of 5.

CountType=”1” Count=”50”

CountType=”99” Count=”5”

If the PMS adds available oversell to physical rooms, then only CountType=1 should be sent (CountType=”1” Count=”55”)

It is prefered to send both CountType 1 and 99 however.
