Failed reservation requests will have a red exclamation mark❗on it and will have ‘Import status’ column marked as Fail.
Verified Manually failed reservation request will have ‘Import status’ as fail, but will have ‘Verified manually’ toggle ON. And as it is marked as verified manually the record will now have green tickmark
How to handle failed reservations from the Reservation Dashboard
Once the user knows what information is displaying on the Dashboard, it is quite easy for the user to make use of the dashboard to view such failed records and take appropriate action against them.
The best way to view and handle a ‘Failed’ reservation is mentioned below
In ‘Advanced filter’ select Import status as ‘Fail’ Or search by a specific ‘Booking reference number’ (if you have it). This will make the failed reservation requests visible (Example: 92814230842)
No click on the Record, and a pop-up will populate on the screen called ‘Reservation details’ which will have three tabs in it:
Failure Details: As seen in below screenshot, user can see all the required details related to the reservation request that failed. It will have information like Stay dates with Guest details, Location and accommodation details and will also reflect “Possible reason for import failure“ which will determine few possible reasons due to which the reservation request had failed to process successfully in Maxxton software
Reservation Request: This tab is only visible to Maxxton employees and would have the full Reservation XML request which can be used by Maxxton for more technical debugging (if required)
Technical detail: Even this tab is visible to only Maxxton Employees and would have a information on more technical details on why the reservation request failed to process
