This page will assume you have read through the "Retrieve Reservations" part of the pmsXchange v2 documentation.

The page will aim to demonstrate some of the ResGlobalInfo elements and how they relate to guests making reservations on the many different OTAs you will receive reservations from. NOTE: The information that is sent from each OTA will vary, so it is not possible to include all the different variables.
