Different Levels of Overbooking

There are three possible levels to allow or deny overbooking within First Resort. The first is on a system wide level, which must first be activated before any other levels will be allowed. The second is on a user by user level, and the third is by specific property code.

(From the APPLICATION SELECTION Menu)

  1. Enter H-A followed by your business code, and then E to edit and press F10 or page down until you reach screen #10. The response to Allow overbooks to occur on the last line, should be Y to allow overbooking. You must F10 or page down through screen #11 and press return to continue when prompted, and Y to save.

  2. Enter H-U-E followed by your 2 character user code and the business code you want to make the change to. After pressing E to edit, enter down to the last option on the second to last line which reads Res: Comm O/Ride;OvBkOK. The first field controls the ability to overbook by user by entering either a Y or an N. Press F10 and Y to save when finished. NOTE: the default setting for a new user code is NOT to allow overbooking.

  3. Enter P-A-P followed by the property code you wish to change. There is an option in the middle column to the right of the Stats Complex field. The option reads simply OB: : and can be answered with a Y to allow, or N to disallow overbooking in this one property. Press F10 two times and Y to save.

Having troubles overbooking a reservation? First, ask yourself, "Is the person who is having trouble new to the staff?" If they are, then your first suspicion might be that the default setting on their user code was not changed to allow overbooks. Another option you may want to check to see if this is a new property that may have had it's setup entered incorrectly.
