Same Day Booking with Time Limit (FEA89605)

Configure in Administration > Hotel > Hotel Maintenance > Attributes - Prior Day Booking with Time Limit
SynXis CRS provides the ability to control what time reservations are cut-off from being made for the previous hotel calendar date.

A hotel can use the Prior Day Booking with Time Limit setting in SynXis CRS to define the hour past midnight by which a hotel will allow a reservation to be created or modified for arrival the prior day. The time limit set is local hotel time. In such case, any reservations made in between midnight and the configured time limit will incur charges for the previous day.


Support Custom Call Center Applications (FEA92115)

Enhancements were made to enable Call Center applications, via the Property Direct channel, to make use of the Channel Connect API for their implementations. No structural changes were made to the Channel Connect Hotel Availability message format, the API now supports shopping for the Property Direct channel.


Flexible Points and Cash Redemption Options (FEA92296)

SynXis CRS has been enhanced to allow the configuration of Points and Cash Levels. Hoteliers using Hotel Tiers for Point Redemption can set up the Point and Cash Levels in SynXis CRS to offer multiple PAC rates with different Point and Cash values. In this way the Point and Cash values will take the Point and Cash Levels into account when doing an availability check through the Channel Connect API. 

  • When calculating the PAC points and cash portions of a product’s price, the system considers the Point and Cash Levels in the Hotel Tier / Hotel Tier Pricing Season.
