HTNG Reservation Delivery - Support Additional Service Pricing Types and Consolidation (FEA92562)

SynXis HTNG has been enhanced to provide flexibility in how package and SRS order items are communicated in the reservation message. This empowers Sabre customers and partners to customize their integrations and optimize the functionalities supported between systems.

SynXis HTNG now supports the option to communicate various service pricing types in the reservation message. This allows consuming systems to use this field to recognize how the service item should be applied to the stay.

Prior to this enhancement, SynXis HTNG only supported “Per use” as a service pricing type. With this enhancement and when configured in SynXis to send the new pricing types in the integration, the following additional service pricing types are supported:

• Per stay
• Per night
• Per person
• Per person per night

To further enhance how service items can be communicated and to provide greater flexibility in the SynXis HTNG interface, the option to consolidate service items in the reservation message has also been added. Prior to this enhancement, service items were always provided as single line items for each night of the stay they applied. When enabled, the consolidation logic will combine like service items with consecutive dates into a single service element.

Both of the new SynXis HTNG reservation format behaviors are configurable by independent integration attributes and require certification to adopt.

HTNG - Support Child Ages (FEA60440)

Configuration for PMS Reservation Delivery/Synch:
Administration > Integration > Integration Detail > Attributes > “Support Child Ages in Reservation Messaging (HTNG Only)”

SynXis HTNG reservation messages can support child ages included on reservations in reservation delivery to integrating systems, and in reservation synch to SynXis CRS. Automatically integrating child age breakdowns between SynXis CRS and integrating systems provides an opportunity to improve operational efficiency by removing the task of manually aligning the ages of the children between systems.

Configuration to enable child age breakdown in HTNG reservation delivery and reservation synch is defaulted to not include the information. Integrating systems must support child ages functionality prior to enabling the setting.

SynXis HTNG integrating systems wishing to consume/exchange child ages in reservations with SynXis CRS must be certified.

Example Child Ages in Reservations (See full spec for official definitions):

<GuestCounts IsPerRoom="true">
	<GuestCount AgeQualifyingCode="10" Count="2"/>
	<GuestCount AgeQualifyingCode="8" Count="2" Age="3"/>
	<GuestCount AgeQualifyingCode="8" Count="1" Age="5"/>
</GuestCounts>
