Availability blocks through different bookable services
We work with two bookable services; stay and shortstay, using the same rooms. We want to ensure availability until a certain time for our shortstay partners therefore, we are using availability blocks with the moving release option. Unfortunately, the availability blocks are only blocking rooms in one bookable service. Making it possible to book the blocked rooms in the stay bookable service. It would be great if the system blocks these rooms in both services when adding an availability block in one of the services.

Yes, we also started with 2 services, one for business functions and one for individuals. We wanted to better sort our rates and confirmation mails etc. The problem was the same as you described: the room blocks of 2 different services having the same rooms dont see each other, only if rooms are picked up.
With bookings this was almost perfect, but with blocks with no pickups yet, we were in grave danger of overbooking.
This would have been so nice, but we had to cancel this setup in the last second.Plus: it messed up our statistics badly
