Modified reservations

Bookings made on Expedia Group points of sale can evolve over time before the traveler checks in at the property - or in rare cases, even after the check-in date. For example, the booking could be changed to add or remove a day for the stay. The booking can also be cancelled by the traveler or by Expedia Group Customer Support.

The <OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ/RS> message pair is used to send notifications for reservation modifications from Expedia Group to your system. There are two categories of reservation modifications:

  • The first type involves changing all information except the property (for example dates, room types, or other details of a stay at a particular property). This type of change will employ the use of a modification message pair.
  • The second type involves changing from staying at one property to staying at a different property. This type of change will be handled asa cancellation of the original reservation and a brand new booking at the new property.

The OTA 2005B spec <OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ/RS> message set will handle the full overlay of the reservation. This message resembles the <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ/RS>. The existing message structures are extended with new fields to identify that this is a modification to a committed reservation and to verify that the change is being done on the appropriate reservation. In this message, the reservation content is the bulk of the message. Both the Expedia Group internal booking item ID (@ResID_Value) and the property’s confirmation ID will be placed in the HotelReservationID element in the <OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ> message.

Request

Since the <OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ> message is a full overlay of the reservation, it has the exact same XML structure as the <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ> message. Refer to New reservations for details.

The main difference is in the <HotelReservationID> element within the XML structure. There will be two instances of the <HotelReservationID> element in the Modify message as opposed to a single instance in the original Reservation message.

Furthermore, the free-form text special request (RequestCode="4") in a reservation modification is sent only if a new special request is entered for the current modification. In other words, by default, the modification notification request will not contain the special request entered previously for the same reservation.

Note: You should add any new free-form text special requests to the existing special requests saved in your system for the same reservation.

OTA_HotelResModifNotifRQ element

The <OTA_HotelResModifNotifRQ> element is the root element for modified reservations, and it requires the xmlns attribute, which is the namespace to which this message belongs. Current namespace for requests is http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05. The message also requires additional attributes for the request to be recognized by your system.

Most of the XML structure is the same as described for new reservations, <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ>.

Child elements

Name

Description

<HotelResModify> element

<UniqueID> element

This element is a child element of the <HotelResModifies> element.

It is the unique identifier of the reservation to be modified and occurs twice per message, one to contain the original Expedia Group booking ID, and another for the property's confirmation number.

Attributes:

  • Type- Occurs once. Data type: numeric, two digits. The value is always set to 14=Reservation
  • ID- This attribute is a unique identifying value assigned by the creating system to the reservation. This attribute occurs once per message and will be the Expedia Group booking ID. Data type: numeric, 1-10 digits

Response

The OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ/RS message pair is used to send notifications for reservation modifications from Expedia Group to your system. There are two categories of reservation modifications:

  • The first type involves changing all information except the property(for example dates, room types, or other details of a stay at a particular property). This type of change will employ the use of a modification message pair.
  • The second type involves changing from staying at one property to staying at a different property. This type of change will be handled asa cancellation of the original reservation and a brand new booking at the new property.

The OTA 2005B spec OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ/RS message set will handle the full overlay of the reservation. This message resembles the OTA_HotelResNotifRQ/RS. The existing message structures are extended with new fields to identify that this is a modification to a committed reservation and to verify that the change is being done on the appropriate reservation. In this message, the reservation content is the bulk of the message. Both the Expedia Group internal Booking item ID (@ResID_Value) and the Hotel confirmation ID will be placed in the HotelReservationID element in the OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ message.

OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRS element

This element returns a confirmation that the booking modification has been successfully received, or it includes errors if the request did not succeed. The <OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRS> message has the exact same XML structure as the <OTA_HotelResNotifRS> message.

Expedia Group receives a confirmation number from success responses. Like success response messages for new reservations, the presence of the <Success> element in modified reservation responses indicates that the transaction was processed successfully. The <Success> element occurs once per success response message.

The same common payload attributes are repeated as described for the <OTA_HotelResNotifRS> message. The only difference in the header is that the attribute @ResResponseType will have a different value ("Modified" for responses for modified reservations instead of "Committed" for responses to new reservations) in success responses.

The <ResGlobalInfo> element is the container element for a collection of objects which are common to the entire reservation.

  • <HotelReservationsIDs> element- This is a child element of the <ResGlobalInfo> element.

Errors element

An error response for a modified booking is the same as the <OTA_HotelResNotifRS> message, except the root tag will be "<OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRS>" instead of "<OTA_HotelResNotifRS>".

An error response is returned when the notification fails to be processed by your system. In this case, you return an explicit error code and a detailed error message must be included in the error response. The list of error codes can be found in the Error Codes for Response Messages table.
