What do we (the property) need to do to prepare for our migration? Prior to your migration it is recommended that your data file be prepared and cleaned up of unused items . As always, before making any changes, please make a back-up of your data file. Rooms: All Rooms must have a Room ID, a Type ID and a description. To verify go to Parameters -> Booking System -> Rooms. If you have any rooms in the system that that are no longer needed it is recommended that you remove them prior to the migration. To do so from the Rooms menu and locate the room to be deleted. Click on Rooms in the upper left corner, then select Delete. Any changes you wish to make to Rooms, including modifying room numbers, moving a room to a different type or deleting a room, should be done prior to providing your data file for migration. Room Types: All Types must have a Type ID, Default Rate, Both Descriptions, GDS Description, Number of Bedrooms, Permanent Beds and Maximum Guests. To verify go to Parameters -> Booking System -> Types. If you have any types in the system that that are no longer needed, it is recommended that you remove them prior to the migration. To do so, from the types menu locate the type to be deleted and click on Types in the upper left corner, then select Delete. Rooms belonging to the selected type must be reassigned or deleted prior to deleting the type. Any changes you wish to make to Types, including modifying type name or ID or deleting a Type should be done prior to providing your data file for migration. When you are finished making any changes to rooms and types, from the Type menu, click on Types -> Update Room Counts. Rates: Rates as entered in the desktop are what your default rates will be based on. If you use Seasons, see the Seasons section below. If your rates are "Per Person" please verify all rates have accurate information entered for First X Adults, Extra Adults, Children and Infants. Please be aware that for Weekly rates that is a per day value when booking longer than 6/7 days and should not be entered as the total cost for the week.It's recommended that you remove any unused rates prior to providing your data file for migration. | |
