Why does my Availability on Channels show "R" for Restricted?
When logging into booking.com, you may notice that your Rates are listed with a "R", meaning the Rate has a restriction. This may be confusing, if you did not mean to place a restriction on the rate.
Why this happens
When Myallocator sends Rates & Availabilites to channels, the information must be sent based on the restrictions that the channel stipulates. In the case of booking.com, they only allow a maximum of 31 days. Since there is a maximum stay set on booking.com's side, the Rate is interpreted as having a Restriction (31 days max). Because of this restriction, the Rate is displayed with a "R". For that reason, you can ignore the "R" listed on your rate if you did not set any restrictions to the rate yourself.
How to resolve
This restriction can be removed by checking the appropriate box in the booking.com setup within myallocator.
