A booking arrives, and is on the chart in the same request

The channel's booking is applied inline — guest, room, price, tax and payer — and the acknowledgement says whether it landed, and if not, why.

When an OTA sells a room, the channel pushes the booking to the hotel. The push is answered in the same request with one of three things: it is on the chart in room such-and-such; it is on the chart waiting for a room because the type is full; or it was refused, with the sentence that says why. "Waiting" no longer means "a timer will get to it".

What is applied

Modifications and cancellations

A modification is not a resend. The change is applied to the stay it belongs to — new dates, new room type, new price — and the stay's timeline says what the channel changed. A cancellation cancels that stay and the room goes back on sale; the no-show the audit marks on a channel booking is reported back to the channel.

A booking refused at the door can come back

A push refused for a key that did not match, or a hotel that was not mapped, is kept whole — every knock at the door is logged, not only the ones we opened — and can be applied afterwards from the log when the cause is fixed.
