What this is.

A hotel-scoped reconciliation workspace with two paths. Staff can record cancelled or no-show OTA reservations and mark each record reconciled with notes. Where OTA Reconcile Intelligence is configured, Hotel Central can compare reservation details from configured OTA connections with PMS folio facts from supported reports and generate possible discrepancy cases on demand. Each candidate can include a confidence score, explanation, suggested next step, estimated recovery, confirmation references, linked source facts, and focused status history. Staff decides whether to review, reconcile, dismiss, or backburner the case. The workflow does not submit disputes, collect funds, alter OTA or PMS records, or prove that an estimated amount was recovered.

Evidence depends on the records linked to the candidate; one side or the source file may be unavailable.

Linked sourcesOpen the OTA-side fact, PMS-side folio fact, and original report where those records are linked. Evidence coverage varies by candidate.

What it solves.

A cancellation, no-show, status, amount, tax, or commission difference may be split between a channel record and a PMS folio. Staff needs one place to compare the available facts and record the decision.

Move from two source records to one reviewable candidate, then let staff confirm the outcome.

Buyer questions

What operators ask.

What does OTA Reconcile do?

OTA Reconcile provides a manual cancelled/no-show tracker and, for configured hotels, an Intelligence workflow that compares reservation details from configured OTA connections with supported PMS folio report data. It generates possible discrepancy cases for staff review rather than making financial decisions automatically.

Which OTA and PMS connections are supported?

Configured hotels can compare reservation details and booking changes from supported OTA connections with compatible PMS folio reports. Setup currently centers on Booking.com; this is not a direct Booking.com login or universal OTA/PMS coverage. Confirm your property's channel and report compatibility during setup.

Which possible discrepancies can it surface?

Candidate types include missing records on either side, amount, commission or tax differences, cancelled-but-charged records, no-show recovery opportunities, hotel-collect payment opportunities, status differences, and possible duplicate bookings. Each result is a candidate for human review, not a confirmed billing error.

Does OTA Reconcile generate cases automatically?

No. An authorized user runs Generate Candidates after both OTA reservation details and PMS folio details are available. Hotel Central then creates or updates possible discrepancy cases for staff review.

Can staff inspect the source behind a candidate?

Where linked data is available, staff can compare the OTA-side reservation fact with the PMS-side folio fact, open the related report import, inspect parsed folio rows, and view the stored source file. Some candidates may have only one side or no stored source file.

Does Reconciled mean the money was recovered?

No. Reconciled is a staff-set workflow status. Estimated recovery is a calculated candidate value, not proof of collection, refund, dispute victory, or settled funds. Staff can also mark a case Reviewing, Dismissed, or Backburner.

Does OTA Reconcile submit disputes or update the PMS?

No. OTA Reconcile does not submit OTA disputes, generate dispute PDFs, charge cards, issue refunds, cancel bookings, or update OTA or PMS records. Recommended actions remain suggestions for staff review.

Who can access OTA Reconcile?

Access depends on an active subscription, OTA Reconcile being enabled for the hotel, and the user's assigned permissions. Intelligence also requires a supported OTA connection, compatible PMS folio reports, and completed property setup.
