    Information

    Travel Agent Allotments reserve available inventory for use by the Travel Agent.

    A Travel Agent is a business that can be added and used in RMS for Reservations, Accounts Receivable and the Corporate Portal.

    Allotments are allocations of inventory bookable by a specific business or third party and can be allocated at a Property, Category or Area level.

    Guaranteed Allotments secures the inventory as only being available for booking by the Travel Agent until released back for House Use.

    Multiple Release can be used to setup contractual agreements that include staged releases of inventory back to House Use when using Category Allotments.


    Category, Area and Guest are default System Labels that can be customised.

    Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
