  3. On the Record View tab, click the Contracts action button.
  4. In the Contracts page, specify the information that you require. See additional information on these fields:
    Release Days
    Specify the release days. This is the default release days if no release schedule exists for contract dates in the bottom section.
    Impacts Availability
    Select to have the allocation removed from house availability.
    Rate Plan
    Specify the rate plan. Options include the rate plans added in the Negotiated Rates tab.

    The initial status defaults to open. When the overall allocation or overall min house limits are reached the status changes to closed. The initial status can be set to closed until reservations are allowed.
    Free Sell
    Select to allow free selling of rooms without limit until the limit set in the Overall Min House field is reached.
    Overall Allocation
    Specify the overall allocation, the total number of rooms that can be sold. The number can be higher than the actual rooms available to allow overselling where the Overall Min House is not specified. When this is specified the Free Sell check-box is unchecked.
    Overall Min House
    Specify the overall minimum house, reservations can be made for the contract until the house availability reaches this number. Once the number is reached the allocation is closed.
