[[Category:Troubleshooting]]<div class="heading">HRS</div> ''This page is about the menu {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) CHANNEL MANAGER->HRS__TOC__ and explains how the connection with HRS works and how to set it up.
==General==
*[[:Category:Channel Manager|Click here]] for general information on how the channel manager works.
*Each rate type or additional room category in HRS has its own availability. You can map Beds24 rooms to each rate or category, this way the availability of the Beds24 room controls the availability of the HRS rate or category. Alternatively, rates or daily prices in Beds24 can be mapped to specific HRS rates or categories. This way the availability of the Beds24 room will be sent to each HRS rate type or additional room category.
<span div class="circlewarning" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note </span> HRS availability is per rate type. Sending the same availability to each rate type can potentially allow over bookings. HRS can limit the number of rooms allowed per booking to 1 to prevent this.</div>
'''Bookings'''
This basic setup must be done for each year.
If you do not want to offer double or single rooms, they may be closed but this is not recommended.   <span classstyle="circlecolor: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} Tip</span> ''Double and single rooms generate the most bookings because HRS is strongly focused on business travellers. We recommend connecting double and single rooms and avoiding additional categories if possible. '' If you do not want to offer double or single rooms, they may be closed but this is not recommended.

 <span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Note: If you change your hotel type after you have done the mapping you will loose your mapping and you will need to enter your codes again.
==== Mapping====
Each HRS room and rate combination can only be mapped to one room type in Beds24. If required you can set up virtual rooms a explained here: [[Combine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype|set up virtual roooms]].
If you do not want to offer double or single rooms, they may be closed. You will need to adjust the price in your set up in HRS and you map the double or single room in SETTINGS-CHANNEL MANAGER-HRS and enter the code for the additional category directly in the daily prices or rates.
'''Meal Plans''', '''Cancellation''' and '''Reservation Mode''' can be set per room in Beds24. If you want to offer breakfast or exclusive rates you need to state a price in the HRS extranet even if meals are not included in the rate directly.
If you leave the settings for '''Meal Plans''', '''Cancellation''', '''Reservation Mode''' blank the settings entered in HRS will be used.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note: </span> For "Cancellation" = Not Allowed you need to set "Reservation TyeType" = Guaranteed with credit card.
Additional room categories do not have their own rules. The "inherit" them from the standard room type.
