Managing Block Wash Schedule

Block Wash Schedule makes it possible to reduce the block allocation by a percentage or fixed number of rooms on a preset schedule for any number of days or room types. Block wash is often used by properties that do not routinely hold the same number of rooms out of inventory as are contracted, based on past experience, the type of business, or industry trends. The Block Wash Schedule allows you to determine when to reduce the number of rooms held in the block and by how much: either a percentage or a fixed number of rooms, then automates the process for you prior to the block cutoff date. You can setup a schedule manually or apply a predefined block wash template, for more information, see Block Wash Schedules

Note:

A Cutoff Date must be set in order to access Wash Schedule.
