In the EMDI hotel management Reservations screen you can quickly book a room for a customer.
Who uses this
Reception / hotel users who create new reservations from the room calendar.
Before you start
- Open Hotel / the Reservations screen.
- Make sure rooms appear on the calendar and that the date range (From / to) covers the days you need.
- Booking is allowed from today onward. For a past date you see: «You cannot book on an old date!».
Screen map
- Reservation: top-left button for a new booking.
- Room calendar: each row is a room, columns are days.
- Search: find a reservation by text.
- From / to: visible date range.
First booking (step by step)
- On the calendar, click and drag the stay dates on the room row (arrival through departure).
- Click Reservation.
- Sales opens with the booking document, already filled with the room and nights.
- Select / complete the customer and finish the document as usual.
- When you close sales, the calendar refreshes and the new reservation appears.
Everyday use
- To open an existing reservation: click it on the calendar and choose Show reservation.
- To move dates/room: click the reservation → Modify reservation, drag to the new place, then click Save (you confirm that dates/room change without changing charges).
- If you select only a single day (no overnight span), a task opens instead of a room reservation.
Tips
- After check-in or collection, the reservation stays on the calendar with customer, amount and balance.
- Use the show filter (all / reservations / tasks) if the calendar gets crowded.
