General Tab
Season Start date ineffective

The season start date was meant to indicate when the new year's rates must start taking effect but that date was not being taken into consideration and 2021's rates started taking effect from 1 January regardless of the start date set on the property.

Lower rates at city hotels, for example, usually apply into January when business starts picking up and so, over the year-end, the rates for the new year should only start after the holiday season.  
 
Please note that the year is mostly irrelevant, the day and month is used whether it is set for a past year or a future year.

Allocations
Allocations in NebulaPMS

Allocations added in eRes will now come down to NebulaPMS and rooms on allocation will be kept separate from freesale availability.

A CRS Allocations button has been added to the Availability screen which shows the allocation inventory. The CRS Allocations button shows the details of the allocation - note that when rooms have been booked from allocated inventory, 
they show as "Sold". A setting has been added to the interface configuration to specify whether NebulaPMS should send requests for allocations - this should only 
be set to true if the client makes use of allocations and eRes is on version 2021.0.4421 or later. Please note that the room chart will prevent the booking of allocated rooms as well, not by room number but the number of units left in the freesale inventory. Clients using allocations must be aware that rooms that look available will produce a message saying that the room is not available if they attempt to book units once the freesale units have been depleted.
