Change the room block status
Each room block on a booking can have its own status (Prospect, Tentative, Definite, or Block Cancelled). For example, a booking's primary room block might be definite, but an overflow room block at an alternate property might be tentative. Alternatively, one of the booking's room blocks may need to be cancelled while the others continue to be definite.
When you create a room block, its status initially defaults to the booking status. The room block status will continue to reflect the booking status until you manually change it using the Status field in the New Room Block window or the Modify Room Block window (Advanced tab). At that point, the room block will maintain its own status independent of the booking. However, if the status of the booking is changed to Cancelled, Turned Down, or Lost, the status of all its room blocks will automatically be set to the corresponding status. Additionally, you cannot downgrade the status of a room block (for example, you cannot change the status from Definite to Tentative).
For properties with an external availability integration, it is important to note that when changing the room block status to Tentative or Definite, a warning message may appear at the top of the window if the room block numbers exceed the available inventory.
Your property configuration determines whether or not users can manually change the room block status. If your administrator has selected the Enable Room Block Status option on the Property page, you can update the room block status, as needed. If this option is not selected, the Status field will be view-only and the room block status will always reflect the current status of the booking.
The Enable Room Block Status option must be selected for properties that are integrated with the Opera property management system.
