== '''Step 5''' - Enter existing Bookings==
To avoid double bookings it is advisable to enter the bookings you already have. You have different options:
*For Booking.com and Expedia we have the option to automatically import all upcoming bookings. We recommend to use this method because for bookings imported directly from Booking.com we will then be able to automatically import changes. You can use this function when the channel manager is set up but not activated. The button is available in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM/EXPEDIA.
*For Airbnb you can use our iCal import to import upcoming bookings. You can set this up in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->AIRBNB ICAL. After you have imported bookings you deactivate the iCal and set the XML connection up.
*In CALENDAR you will find a row INVENTORY. The number shows rooms remaining to sell. They can be edited to quickly change your availability. Doubleclick to open a popup and save the changes. (it is only possible to lower the number based on the value in Settings > Properties > Rooms > Setup > Quantity of this type and any existing bookings)
*To ''Add Bookings'' manually click on the suitcase icon in the CALENDAR or on the "Add Booking" link in the BOOKINGS menu.
*If you are comfortable working with .csv you can upload bookings into Beds24 using our API (https://www.beds24.com/api/). Bookings must have a checkin between 1 year in the past and 5 years in the future. You will see the instructions when you click on putBookingCSV (https://www.beds24.com/api/csv/putbookingscsv.php). To use the API you need to allow API access in SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> ACCOUNT ACCESS
*Upcoming bookings from booking.com can be automatically imported.
