Note: Channex does not use BEC Jobs, rather it uses jobs within LS Central for hotels.

Note: SynXis does not support any job type since it requires that all data are sent without delay (event-driven).

The fields in the BEC Job page are listed below:

Job Type The available job types are: 
  • Rate - Syncs the rates with the Channel Management System.
  • Reservation - Syncs the reservations with the Channel Management System.
  • Inventory - Syncs the inventory with the Channel Management System.
  • Rate Code - Syncs the rate codes with the Channel Management System.
