Retrieve Rooms API - Reservation Only Room Rates

SiteConnect allows Room Rates to be mapped ONLY for the purpose of reservation delivery to the Channel Manager.

If you have this requirement, you can use RatePlan / AdditionalDetails / AdditionalDetail to send the below.

Sending the below will instruct the Channel Manager to NOT send ARI updates. The mapping of the Room Rate in question will exist purely to allow the reservation delivery.

You must use the below ONLY to create Reservation Only Room Rates (with the exception of restricting Rates and/or Availability). Restricting any other ARI updates separately (other than Rates and/or Availability OR for Reservation Only purposes) is not part of the intended functionality of SiteConnect and will NOT pass certification.
