Changes and Reporting

You may adjust inventory at any time, however, you will never be allowed to reduce the inventory to below the number sold. Clients will be able to book online any available inventory until the Reservations Due time. The Check-In and Check-Out fields are used as default selections for the user, but they may book any available inventory for the room regardless of those dates.

When the commission is calculated, the rebate amount is subtracted from the cost before it is multiplied by the commission percent.

Clients will not be able to find or book rooms for items that do not have a place selected. Because the choice of places is from the Google Places API, it is remotely possible that a location will be so new, or obscure, that it does not appear, but this should be extremely rare.

Client Inventory

Inventory is enforced for clients adding lodging to their cart on the main page of the cart. Thus, though it is possible for a single or multiple clients to add more lodging than is available to their cart, unless they are making payments at almost the exact same time, the latter client should see a note explaining that applicable lodging was removed from their cart due to lack of inventory on the main page of the cart.
