*You need a price for the full occupancy.
*Prices for "Extra Person",  "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be sent. 
*If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value  so the price for the full occupancy can send.
*If you have multiple prices the system searches for the best (lowest) price for the requested period and length of stay. "Check-in" and "Check-out" limitations in rates will be ignored.

Enquiries will import with the status = Request.
Changing the status in Beds24 to cancelled will decline the enquiry.
