Room nights can be removed, edited, and additional nights can be added. Room changes can also be accommodated within the same reservation. A new booking is not required if the reservation is for the same customer. These changes can be kept within the same reservation by using Booking Lines in the Room & Rate section of the reservations Main page.

Previously, when you add or amend a booking line to a reservation, Rezlynx used to recalculate the prices of any existing booking lines. This could be helpful to make sure the product prices were correct, however if the overall price for the rate plan had changed (common with flex rates), the previously quoted price would also change.
With our latest enhancements, adding a new booking line no longer changes the price of the original booking line. The original price stays the same, no matter if the rate plan has been updated. However, the individual components of the price will be recalculated. For example, if the Product Rule value changes, the overall booking price stays the same, but in Rate Analysis, you'll see adjustments to the product values, whilst the accommodation price adjusts to keep the total amount consistent.
Amend a booking line
To amend the booking line on an existing reservation, follow the steps below:
Open the reservation you wish to change.

Follow the booking line along to the right-hand side, click Options.
Select Change β then change the dates/number of nights/pax/room/rate plan as required, then click Find Rates.
π€Tip: To change a room type we would recommend un-allocating the booking line first.
5. Select the required rate.
πNote: If no rates return it could be due to the occupancy exceeding the occupancy set on the room selected.

Click Find Rates.
Select the required rate.
