Availability calendar
Open, close, or stop-sell dates and block inventory so PMS (Property Management System) sellable stock matches reality (and what you attest to OTAs — Online Travel Agencies).

What this section is
Availability controls what can still be sold by type/date — stop-sell, maintenance closes, and similar blocks. It complements Room inventory (doors) and Status board (today’s state). For OTA extranets, follow with Distribution attestation — FindMyStay does not auto-push fake OTA APIs.
In the owner dashboard
Open Availability calendar under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Help cues

Cue 3
Need to reopen dates after maintenance finishes.
Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Availability
Rooms → Availability. Choose room type and date range.
India example: Deluxe · 14–16 Aug · reason: wing painting. -
Apply stop-sell or block
Close sellable inventory for those dates (or reduce allotment per your process). Document the reason for night audit and owner review.
India example: Stop-sell Deluxe 14–16 Aug · note “painter — no guest access”. -
Reopen and attest channels
When work ends, remove the block. If OTAs were closed manually, update extranets and record attestation under Distribution.
India example: 16 Aug evening: remove stop-sell · attest Booking.com/MMT reopen for 17 Aug onward.
Tips
Pair long OOO on Status board with Availability so Overbooking math stays honest. · Group allotments may use Room blocks elsewhere — Availability is for open/close sellability.
Common mistakes
Closing PMS availability but leaving OTA open — oversell risk until extranet is updated.

Example 1: Stop-sell Deluxe during wing painting
Setting
Painter booked 14–16 Aug · Deluxe corridor unsafe for guests.
Who is involved
Owner · Front office · Distribution
Inventory doors still exist, but sellable stock must close. OTAs need manual extranet update + attestation.
| # | What staff do | What they should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Availability → Deluxe 14–16 Aug stop-sell · reason painting | PMS will not sell those dates. |
| 2 | Status board: mark affected rooms OOO for the window | FO/HK aligned. |
| 3 | Distribution → attest OTA close for same dates | No new MMT booking slips in for 15 Aug. |
