Reservations

Smarthotel supports the PUSH method for transferring reservations. This means that as soon as a new reservation is created at the originated system, the originated system is responsible for sending this reservation through to the connected system.

1. The OTA_HotelResNotifRQ/RS supports the functionality of updating other systems with reservation data. The message assumes a push model, with the originating system pushing the data to another system. The originating system would usually be a booking source.
2. The OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ/RS is used for modifying a reservation. It is used for a full overlay of the reservation. When changing data that requires an availability check, this message assumes the availability is known. (if availability is not known an availability check including the reservation ID may be useful).
3. The OTA_CancelRQ/RS is a generic message, available as an action on several OpenTravel services which requests a server to cancel the booking identified by the UniqueID element.
