Information
Inventory Grouping is a Lookup Table that allows creating a Pseudo Category to pool inventory from multiple Categories.
The Inventory Grouping Description will be used as the Pseudo Category Description.
Availability for the Pseudo Category will be determined by availability in the selected Categories.
Rates for the Pseudo Category will use the selected Billing Category.
Inventory Grouping can be used when Areas from different Categories can be sold a variety of ways.
Pseudo Categories created as Inventory Groupings can be included in mapping for connected Channels and will be affected by any Control Panel Restrictions set on the actual Category.
The Accounting Option 'Allow Same G/L Acc Code on Categories' is required to use Inventory Groupings.
Category, Area, Reservation, Guest and Rate are default System Labels that can be customised.
System Administrators will require Security Profile access to setup this feature.
