The purpose of this page is to inform you about upcoming changes within our OTA/HTNG implementation for both property management systems. Please note that the changes are divided into onPrem and pAir PMS changes. onPrem changes won't be rolled out globally at the date that is mentioned in the table below whilst pAir Updates will always be rolled out for all customers in one step.
Please note that the XML of the examples are shortened for a clear arrangement. The full sample message can be found on the documentation page for the message.

| If at least one of Rate/@CachedIndicator is set to "true", then the PMS will ignore the resp rate details for this reservation and will use its latest known data.
@CachedIndicator is optional with default value of "false".
The values makes sense only for ResStatus="Modify".
The new use case eliminates the option for inbound rate modification, where the external service is not aware of any manual edits on the reservation rate details, to be lost. | PWS-3372 |
