Overview

Clear Restriction is a feature available in the Control Panel that allows you to cancel a specific Restriction Type without deleting the original record.

This option is available for the following restriction types:
Close Rate, Closed to Arrival, Closed to Departure, Minimum Nights, Soft Close and Stop Sell.

You can also set an Occupancy Benchmark, which will only cancel the selected restriction if the property's occupancy meets or exceeds the specified value. The property's Occupancy Calculation Rule will be used to determine this percentage. 

If multiple records exist for the same date and restriction type, RMS will apply the most recent record.
