What is Standard Occupancy in Hotel Push Sellers API?

All about Standard Occupancy in Inventory.

Standard occupancy is the standard number of Adult paxes of the room. For example, if the Standard Occupancy is 2 and the following is loaded:

<BaseByGuestAmts>
   <BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests = "1" AmountAfterTax="50.00"/>
   <BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests = "2" AmountAfterTax="100.00"/>
</BaseByGuestAmts>

The price of two paxes will be 100 and the price for one pax will be 50 - note that prices per pax under the Standard Occupancy must be specified and prices for babies under the Standard Occupancy will be 0.

Standard occupancy is used for calculating prices above it:

For example, if the Standard Occupancy is 2 and the following is loaded:

<BaseByGuestAmts>
   <BaseByGuestAmt NumberOfGuests = "2" AmountAfterTax="100.00"/>
   </BaseByGuestAmts>
   <AdditionalGuestAmounts>
   <AdditionalGuestAmount MaxAdditionalGuests = "1" Amount = "50.00" AgeQualifyingCode = "10"/>
</AdditionalGuestAmounts>

The price for one pax will be 50, this is 100⁄2. The price of two paxes will be 100 but the price for three paxes will be 200 = 100 + (100⁄2 + 50).

HOW CAN I MODIFY THE STANDARD OCCUPANCY IN INVENTORY?

As you may already know, our Inventory Extranet allows for prices to be loaded in 3 different ways:

• Price per room
• Price based on standard occupancy
• Price per occupancy

First of all, we need you to confirm that you are aware that this may lead to a price change if the channel does not map again and refresh. That is, if we modify the standard occupancy and the channel does not map and load again, price discrepancy is a distinct possibility. 

Then, once you have informed the Channel, you just need to contact our Customer Care team and confirm exaclty for which hotel, rate and room you need us to modify the Standard Occupancy. That's it!
