Let's talk about sell limits

Hi Femke! 

That’s great to hear and I fully understand that it will be most valuable when the feature is connected to the channel managers, which will follow in the course of the year. 

I will ensure to keep this channel updated when this is the case, but of course it will also be published in the Release Notes when the time is close :D 

Looking forward! 

Warmest regards,

Nienke

Hi Nienke and everyone! 

I am looking for a way to restrict the number of rooms to sell for specific room types within specific rate plans. I hope I have come across the correct thread to receive updates on this functionality within MEWS. With that being said, I have reviewed the previously posted questions and provided my answers below in red: 

1. Should we allow setting a sell limit that is greater than the total physical spaces?
   • With the form to create a new sell limit, you will be able to select various space categories (similar to restrictions). This could mean that you set a sell limit that is higher than the available physical spaces in your property. What should we do in this case?
     • It is important to note that we will evaluate the Availability and Occupancy when creating a reservation as well. So when the availability, sell limit, and/or restriction is met, the creation of a reservation (without override permissions) will not be possible. 
       1. Option 1: Create a sell limit that is higher than the amount of physical spaces in your property. 
       2. Option 2: Decrease the sell limit to the amount of available physical spaces in your property. 
       3. Option 3: Other, namely… 
2. Which reservation states should be considered when calculating the sell limit state?
   1. Option 1: Calculate it the same as availability: Confirmed and Optional states to be included, inquired to be excluded. 
   2. Option 2: Other, namely…
3. Should block count towards sell limit, or just reservations inside of that block?
   1. Option 1: Availability blocks should be taking availability from the sell limit. 
   2. Option 2: Reservations within an availability block should be taking availability from the sell limit. 
   3. Option 3: Other, namely… 
4. When looking at sell limits the following space statuses matter to me:
   1. All statuses (Active, out of service, out of order, house-use)
   2. I don’t want to include Out of Order. 
   3. Other, namely… 

Yes, please! Please let me know what you need to do so. 

Thank you!
