There are two different ways to close and reopen sales:
- Stop Sell Function in Price Control or CRS - Recommended to close for individual days
- Adding or Deactivating a Distribution Rule - Recommended to close permanently or for a longer period
Using Stop Sell Function in Price Control or CRS
- Click on the blue Stop Sell button to open the menu:
- Set the proper conditions and confirm with “Get data”:
Stay date - Shows the date for which changes will be applied. The day you have clicked in Price Control automatically appears. If you would like to close or reopen the sale for another date, you can choose it here. At the very bottom, you can add one or more date ranges.
Group order (level 1) - Choose what should be listed first to find the requested combination of the product you want to close: all partners, all rate plans or all room types
(level 2) - Expanded menu to see in a second click, all rate plans or room types connected to the criteria chosen in level 1.
For example: Show all Partners (Group order level 1) and its rate plans (level 2) and press get data. All Partners will be listed and you can click in the next level to see which rate plans are connected.
- To close sales: Select Force Close for either “All” on the top line (valid for all lines that are ticked) or just for single lines.
-
Permanent Status - Permanent Stop Sale for the date or date range chosen.
Time-based Status - Starting from now. Please choose until what time the Stop Sell should be valid:
- To reopen sales, select System Default Status.
- Cancel or Confirm your changes at the bottom right. After confirmation, the System will send the close out automatically to partners. This process takes some minutes. We recommend checking on partner’s side if the closed dates have arrived.
