Override a Full Time Slot

Review Duration Warnings
For Unique item and Identical item facilities with duration limits, the staff booking form warns when the selected duration is below the minimum or above the maximum. Review the warning and continue only when the property allows the staff override.
Cancel a Hold

Troubleshooting
Booking cannot be confirmed
What you see: Staff cannot complete the confirmation step.
Do this:
- Check whether required guest fields are missing.
- Confirm the slot is still available.
- Check payment status if the booking requires payment.
- Confirm the booking is not expired or cancelled.
Payment status is unclear
What you see: Staff see payment status or transaction ID, but do not know whether the booking can proceed.
Do this:
- Review payment status and transaction ID on the booking.
- Check the guest payment result if the guest attempted online payment.
- Follow the property's manual handling process.
- Escalate with booking ID and transaction ID if status remains unclear.
