'Do Not Overbook Property' is a feature available to limit category overbooking to never exceed the total physical capacity at the property.

Category Overbooking is a feature only available when using Book by Category to enable creating more reservations in a specific category than can be physically accommodated.

Overbooking limits can be set on the category to manage the maximum number of excess reservations that can be saved in that category above the physical area count.

Oversell Allotments can be used to set category overbooking limits for a set date range with options to only apply on set days of the week, after a set occupancy benchmark is reached, with a lead time ahead of the current date, or to only apply to a specific channel, category, or rate type.

Maximum Property Oversell can be used to allow property overbooking up to the defined limit or until a set occupancy benchmark is reached.

To use category overbooking without allowing property overbooking the option 'Do Not Overbook Property' must be enabled.

'Do Not Overbook Property' will allow individual category overbooking until the total number of reservations at the property reaches the physical capacity (total areas) at the property.

Only a category with the Category Classification of 'Accommodation' is included as inventory for the property when determining the property capacity.
