You are working at the front desk and receive a call from a guest that they need two baby beds in their reservation instead of one. You need to edit the extra in their reservation by changing the extra baby bed quantity from one to two. Extras are additional services or tangible items that can be added to a reservation. Extras can have a price attached, or can be used as either an inventoried item, or even to record a service or item for reporting purposes. They are customizable per property.
