The gap functionality allows clients to streamline their sales during high-season period. By not allowing guests to create a booking which leave a planning chart gap which is shorter than the minimum length of stay. Because these nights would be impossible to sell due to minimum length of stay (LOS). Especially when occupancy during high-season is high for the locations, making sure there are no bookings accepted which leave a gap < min LOS is business critical.
The gaps on the planning chart can be manipulated by setting the min gap within the rentability (set) rules within rate manager. This enables the user to set a gaps for rentability right before or after an unavailable period. The gap allows you to specify the minimum number of days that is required between the two periods, allowing arrival and departures subsequent to the unavailable period or before/after the configured amount of days.
