How to make updates on the inventory grid

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Manage your property’s inventory using the inventory grid. To update your rates and restrictions, go to Distribution > Inventory.

How to update your inventory

You can manage your inventory in three ways:

  1. Individual updates: Click a cell to change a single value

  2. Copy tool: Replicate changes across multiple dates or room types

  3. Bulk updates: Make multiple changes to dates, room types and channels at once

Bulk update rates or restrictions

Update multiple dates, room types, or channels at once:

  1. Navigate to Distribution > Inventory

  2. Click Bulk update

  3. From the Set dropdown list, select what you want to update (Rates, Stop sell, Close to arrivals, Close to departures, Min. length of stay, Max. length of stay)

  4. Enter or select the value in the To field

  5. Set a Date range (click + Add another date range to add more dates)

  6. Select applicable days

  7. Select the room types, room rates, or channel rates to apply the update

  8. Select the channels you want to update

  4. Click Save changes

Copy tool options

  • Copy rate across: Apply this change to all visible dates

  • Apply selected rate to other rates: Apply these changes to other room rates or channel rates that belong to the same room type or room rate

  • Apply rate row to other rates: Apply a row of changes to other room rates or channel rates that belong to the same room type or room rate

Why can't I make inventory updates?

If your inventory updates won't save, check the following:

  • Rate is below minimum: Updates cannot be saved if the entered rate is below your property's minimum rate. To check your minimum rate, go to Property settings > Inventory.

  • Derived rates: Derived rates appear greyed out and cannot be manually changed. You'll see a 'forbidden' icon if you try to change a derived rate. To adjust pricing for a derived channel rate, go to Distribution > Channels > select your channel > Edit room rates mapping > click on the channel rate > select Configure. Under Rate setup, adjust the derivation settings (increase or decrease by amount or percentage).

  • Channel doesn't support update: If you see a dash (-) in a cell, the channel doesn't support that update type. Set these restrictions directly in the channel's extranet.

Important notes:

  • Availability: Availability is view-only in the Inventory grid. To increase or decrease availability, you must manage it from the Calendar by creating or modifying reservations or applying room closures. Alternatively, you can adjust the physical room count in Rooms and rates.

  • Unmapped or disabled rates: You can still make changes to unmapped or disabled rates in the grid without seeing an error, but these changes won't sync to the channel. Always ensure your room rates are mapped and enabled to sync updates before updating.
