Booking Confirmations and Status Codes

Passive HHL segments require the supplier’s Booking Confirmation identifier in the Hotel Booking (HotelCreateReservationReq). @BookingConfirmation supports 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters.

The Booking Confirmation can also be manipulated for an existing hotel reservation using UniversalRecordModifyReq. A Booking Confirmation can be:

• Added using UniversalRecordModify/UniversalModifyCmd/HotelAdd @BookingConfirmation.
• Changed using Universal Record Modify/UniversalModifyCmd/HotelUpdate @BookingConfirmation.
• Deleted using Universal Record Modify/UniversalModifyCmd/HotelUpdate , where the value of @BookingConfirmation="0".

Booking Confirmations can only be added when the booking also contains a passive status code:

• For creating a new hotel booking (HotelCreateReservationReq), the following passive status codes are supported: MK and ML.
• For adding a Booking Confirmation to an existing hotel reservation(UR Modify/HotelAdd), the following passive status codes are supported: AK, BK, MK, and GK.
• For updating an existing Booking Confirmation (UR Modify/HotelUpdate), the following passive status codes are supported: AK, BK, GK, MK, AL, BL, GL, and ML.

Booking Confirmation and Status Code information is supported in Universal Record History in HotelReservation when these values are added, updated, or retrieved for a PNR.

HX Status Codes

An HX status code for the hotel reservation is not returned when UniversalRecordModifyReq/HotelUpdate is sent with Booking Confirmation Number=”0” and Booking Status in Hotel reservation is “AK/BK/GK/MK/ AL/BL/GL/ML”.
