General :
This functionality is primarily used to release configured allotments according to specific requirements. To release allotments, we need to create release rules.
...
NOTE: Selecting a location and accommodation type is optional here, but you must choose one of the following fields: 'Days before arrival' or 'Release on the fixed date.
Example of release rule :
...
Release rule configurations :
1. If neither a location nor an accommodation type is selected.
...
If both a location and an accommodation type are selected.
In this case, all allotments configured for the particular location, accommodation type and its child accommodation types will be released according to the release rule configuration.
Release rule execution :
To release the allotments, we have a release allotments procedure that is executed daily, and the release rules eligible for that day are selected based on the rule configuration. The eligible release rules are then applied to release the allotments accordingly.
...
Hence, in our example, we have the start date as 20th Aug and the end date as 22nd Aug. So, on 15th Aug, when this release rule executes for the first time, the allotments made during this release period, i.e., 20th to 22nd Aug, will be released.
NOTE: If the calculated end date is later than the release rule's end date, then we will consider the release rule's end date as the end date of the release period.
Once the allotments are released on 15th Aug, we will update the rule with the performed date as a current date.
Again, on the next day, i.e., 16th Aug, the same process will be followed as described above to release the allotments.
NOTE: On 20th Aug, when the rule is executed, the performed date will be set as the current date, i.e., 20th Aug. When the rule is executed on 21th Aug, the start date of the release period will be calculated as the performed date(20th Aug) plus 1 day. Therefore, on 21st Aug, the start date of the release period will be 21st Aug, and the end date will be calculated according to rentability.
