Info Required for Reservation Setup:

2. POS Tasks

• To enforce the reservation date limitations and to fence the product to only eligible guests, Aspenware Commerce checks whether guests are eligible for products based on other purchased products on their profile. To perform these checks, a custom Aspenware stored procedure is required to be deployed and configured in RTP|One. Talk to your Aspenware service representative to get this functionality deployed in your RTP|One environment. 

• Create your reservation product headers in RTP|One for each reservation product. The Product header code used for these products MUST be a product header with access added to it and the access component MUST be set up as always pre-load. These must be set up for 1-day of access based on the Product Date.

• In addition to deploying a stored procedure, General Program Profiles will need to be created for each reservation type you will be using if taking advantage of Customer Roles functionality. Talk to your Aspenware representative about how to best set these up. 

• If taking advantage of Customer Roles functionality, as part of the RTP|One reservation stored procedure, Aspenware will be setting up a scheduled task to run every minute that will assign General Program Profiles to guests and household members based on whether they have purchased the product that is eligible for reservation products.
