How do I fill in the reservation file?
Reservation NR - May only consist of numbers. No letters, no characters.
RR Room Number - Must match the room numbers in RoomRaccoon. It must consist of numbers only. The room numbers must be separated by a comma and a space for group reservations, e.g., 101, 106, 210. Please note that the number of persons entered under "occupancy" applies to each room. It is not possible to specify the number of persons per room.
Arrival Date / Last date of stay (C/0) - Please use this format: YYYY-MM-DD
Guest Name - Use first and last name.
ETA - Expected time of arrival. Please use this format: HH: MM
Remarks - Comments. Enter any information you can't use in other columns to avoid losing it, e.g., rate plan names.
Reservation Source - Enter where the reservation came from, e.g., "Direct" or "Expedia." Note: It is not necessary to include reservations from booking.com!
Booker name - Enter first and last name.
Booker email - A booker is added to this booking using this email address. Important: This booker must already be in the system. If you have not done a booker import before the reservation import, this will not work.
Reservation total price -Enter the price for the entire reservation here. Include the VAT and add-ons and exclude the tourist tax and additional add-ons such as cleaning costs or the reservation deposit. Additional costs are added automatically if set as a package excluding add-ons in the rate plans. Note: It is important to fill in the "Occupancy" column. Otherwise, this will not work. You can use a full stop or a comma to separate decimals but do not use characters to separate thousands, e.g., 1000.20 and not 1,000.20. Only use a number, not a currency sign.
Reservation paid - Indicate here how much of the total amount has already been paid. You can use a full stop or a comma to separate decimals but do not use characters to separate thousands, e.g., 1,000.20 and not 1,000.20. Use only a number, not a currency sign.
Occupancy - Enter the number of people here.
