Availability block reservation status
To effectively utilize the Availability Blocks section, we need the ability to pick up rooms from a block that has an optional booking status. We often work with call-in allocations, where clients reserve a set number of rooms (e.g., 50) for their participants. As participants book rooms, the booking status changes to "confirmed" once a room is booked for an individual.

Second that, however I argue for the "deduct from inventory but do not forecast revenue" logic. See "allotment" status in other PMS (not naming any names, but you don't need an oracle to guess).

This would be highly appreciated as for us we use availability blocks to block a certain contingent for travel agencies. The block itself should not be deducted from general availability (optional) but the picked rooms should be definite.
