Overview

The Availability Notification messages notify the CRS of the status of availability at the hotel property. These messages include a complex set of controls that indicate whether the hotel has inventory available for sale: closed or open. If a hotel is open, status messages communicate the rate at which bookings can be made. In addition, booking restrictions that apply to each individual rate, such as a minimum length of stay (LOS), must also be communicated to the CRS so that hotel guests are informed of all the rules and policies that apply to their reservation.

The CRS is the target of this message. SHR does not forward these messages to other target systems.

Business Rules

  • Availability can be set at Property, Room, Rate, or Room/Rate level

  • The CRS does not forward this message to any other system.
