Remove inventory with a Transaction message

To remove specific property or itineraries from inventory, use a Transaction message in the root element <Transaction> .

In the Transaction message, specify the following settings for each itinerary you want to remove in the <Result> element:

1. Set <Unavailable> with the reason child element, for example, <NoVacancy> .
2. Set <Taxes> to "0"
3. Set <OtherFees> to "0"

Optional:Set <Baserate> to "-1"

The following example removes several itineraries, for example, remove 1-night stays for several different dates for hotel "1123581321" from inventory:

</Result>
</Transaction> 

As this example shows, you must explicitly set the <Unavailable> with the reason for each itinerary (combinations of check-in dates and number of nights) for which the room is unavailable. In addition, you must set the <Taxes> and <OtherFees> to 0. Setting <Baserate> to -1 is optional.

To remove a Room Bundle, delete the <RoomBundle> element from the <Result> .
