Information: Hotel Availability: Hotel List (Hotel Catalog)

In the Hotel Availability: Hotel List (Hotel Catalog) for global distribution systems (GDS), you can see the hotels entered in the hotel catalog for your company for the selected location. For hotel availability information, a distinction must be made as to which external reservation system is connected:

If you are connected to Amadeus , the query is first executed in the hotel catalog and the availability is not checked in the reservation system. The system checks to see which hotels are defined for the relevant location in the hotel catalog and displays all of these hotels. You can now pick a hotel, and only then does the system automatically start the availability query with Amadeus .

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Legend

Negotiated hotel rates	If your company or your travel agency has negotiated special rates with hotel chains and they are specified in the Customizing settings, the rate codes are displayed here. In an availability query, the system checks to see whether negotiated rates are known by the reservation system and whether there are any offers that match those rates. Hotels for which a negotiated rate applies are indicated with an icon in the list. The rate that applies in each case can be seen in the quick info text that appears when you hold the cursor over the icon for a few seconds.
Price limit	If a price limit has been specified in your Customizing settings, the maximum amount that must/should not be exceeded for an overnight stay at the selected location is displayed here. The price limit is not yet applied when the hotels are displayed in the hotel list. When the room list is displayed, however, the price limit is considered in the way specified in your Customizing settings. Therefore, in the availability list, rooms priced higher than the maximum amount can be: Displayed and selected, for example, in combination with a reason Displayed but not selected Suppressed
Standard query	You can use this pushbutton to start a standard query, excluding consideration of the enterprise-specific hotel catalog. The Hotel Availability: Hotel List dialog box then appears.
Room prices	The highest and the lowest price for a room available in the hotel are displayed.
Currency for room price	The room prices are displayed in the hotel currency when Amadeus is used.
