Modification XML Sample

Request Modifications

Modification are requested by setting the SelectionCriteria ResStatus="Modify".

<OTA_ReadRQ xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05" Version="1.0" TimeStamp="2005-08-01T09:30:47+08:00" EchoToken="echo-abc123">

    <HotelReadRequest HotelCode="ABC">
      <SelectionCriteria SelectionType="Undelivered" ResStatus="Modify"/>
    </HotelReadRequest>
  </ReadRequests>
</OTA_ReadRQ>

NOTE: The Channel Manager will not process 'Availability' changes for 'Cancel' or 'Modify' status reservations. For modified or cancelled reservations, it is expected that the integrated PMS will pass back 'Availability' changes once the modification or cancellation message has been processed.

Modification XML

The modification xml structure is identical to a new reservation with the exception of the HotelReservation ResStatus and the presence of the attribute LastModifyDateTime.

In most scenarios, the modification XML message will contain all details of the reservation and not just item that has been modified. This means you will receive all details of the reservation as they stand at the time the modification was made. We will always pass on what the booking agent provides to us. As a result of this, the modification XML may be missing some information that was present in the original reservation XML, such as payment details.
