OTA Agency Codes for Siteminder

OTA Agency Codes for Siteminder

In order for Siteminder to identify the Booking Channel (e.g. OTAs) with Novohit's PMS Partner Company, Agencies, an Alphanumeric code is assigned by Siteminder (see the Siteminder Booking Agent Code Table in the following link: https://siteminder.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PMSXCHANGEV2/pages/2050607/Booking+Agent+Code+Table). 


This is how Siteminder and the PMS exchange information correctly.
