Revision Date:
The Bulk Reservation Actions menu serves as the centralized command center for group logistics. It allows users to push updates—ranging from date changes to financial postings—to all members of a group (or a selected subset) in a single workflow.
Note: Each bulk action is controlled by a specific permission. Actions without the required permission will be hidden from the menu.
To access the bulk actions menu, follow this standard navigation:
|
Navigate to Frontdesk Dashboard and open the Group Master from the left side menu.
|
|
|
Click on the Manage Reservations tab to view the list of guests associated with the group. |
|
|
Click the Bulk Reservation Actions button located above the reservation list. A dropdown menu will appear with all available bulk actions. |
|
Available Bulk Actions - The following actions can be performed in batch for the selected reservations:
Room Type Change
The Room Type Change allows staff to update multiple group reservations simultaneously, replacing the tedious one-by-one update method.
-
Primary Use: Managing unexpected inventory shifts (e.g., a floor closure due to maintenance) or group-wide upgrades.
-
Restriction: Applies only to HOLD (Booked) reservations. Checked-in guests must be handled individually to avoid key/billing errors.
|
Click the Bulk Reservation Actions button located above the reservation list and choose Room Type Change from the dropdown menu. |
|
|
A list of guests in Booked (HOLD) status is displayed
|
|
|
Select the New Room Type from the available room types.
A success message is displayed once the process is completed |
|
Post Batch Charges
The Post Batch Charges feature is designed to streamline this by allowing staff to "bulk post" charges to multiple reservations simultaneously from a single screen.
Functionality: How it works
The system uses the actual reservation dates rather than the broad group block dates to ensure billing accuracy:
Imagine a Group Block that runs from Oct 10 – Oct 20, but a specific Guest is only staying for 3 nights.
The Scenario
-
Current Business Date (CBD): Oct 5
-
Guest Arrival: Oct 12
-
Guest Departure: Oct 15
One-Time Charge: Posts once. It targets the Reservation Arrival Date. If that date has already passed, it posts on the Current Business Date (CBD).
|
|
System Action |
Posting Date |
|---|---|---|
|
Future Arrival |
Posts on the guest's specific arrival date. |
Oct 12 |
|
Past Arrival |
If the guest is already in-house or arrived yesterday, it posts immediately. |
Oct 5 (CBD) |
Recurring Charge: Posts every night of the stay. It aligns specifically with each guest's Arrival through Departure dates.
-
Example Posting Schedule: Oct 12 (Night 1), Oct 13 (Night 2), Oct 14 (Night 3)
The charge stops automatically on Oct 15, even though the Group Block continues until Oct 20.
|
Click the Bulk Reservation Actions button located above the reservation list and choose Post Batch Charges from the dropdown menu. |
|
|
Choose the Charge Code and Enter the Amount.
|
|
|
Choose the Charge Type (One-Time or Recurring). |

Check the boxes for the specific reservations that should receive the charge (or "Select All")
|
|
|
The charges will now appear on the individual folios of all selected guests. A Success message is seen in Green colour |
|
Reminders
Users can add reminders to multiple group reservations simultaneously through bulk actions. Staff access the Bulk Actions menu, select "Reminders," review the reservation list (excluding cancelled/no-show reservations), confirm their selection, and set reminder configurations that apply to all selected reservations. This eliminates the need to add reminders individually at the reservation level while maintaining the same reminder functionality.
|
Click the Bulk Reservation Actions button located above the reservation list and choose Reminders from the dropdown menu. |
|
|
Review Reservation List Only in-house and booked reservations (cancelled and no-show reservations are automatically excluded) All reservations pre-selected by default, deselect if needed. Confirm Selection |
