# Glossary

This glossary explains the product terms used across Adrasis Console. It keeps operator language first: what the term means, where you see it, and why it matters in daily work.

## Platform

**Organization.** The commercial workspace in Adrasis. It owns users, catalog, contracts, channels, payment settings and branding. Subsidiaries, white-label brands and partner agencies can operate side by side without seeing each other's data.

## Catalog and Content

**Property.** A bookable accommodation entity: hotel, vacation rental, villa, apartment or similar. It is the top-level catalog object.

**Room.** A bookable unit inside a property, with capacity, amenities and meal-plan eligibility.

**Attribute.** A structured property or room feature, such as pool, parking, sea view, accessibility or family-friendly.

**Category.** A classification label such as *boutique hotel*, *all-inclusive*, *ski resort* or *adults only*.

**Meal plan.** What is included with the stay: room only, breakfast, half-board, full-board or all-inclusive.

**Mapping.** The work of matching supplier names and codes to your catalog. Mapping is why *Deluxe Sea View* from one supplier and *Superior Sea-Facing Double* from another can become one room in Adrasis.

**Provenance.** The source information on a field or mapping. It tells you which supplier, operator or process created a value.

**Curation.** The editorial work of deciding which source, wording, image, attribute or translation should represent the property.

## Contracts and Pricing

**Contract.** A commercial agreement with a supplier or partner agency. It defines allotments, base rates, markups, cancellation policies and validity periods.

**Allotment.** Inventory reserved for your organization by a supplier, such as *5 rooms per night from May to September*. Unsold allotment can return to the supplier after the release period.

**Release period.** The cut-off before stay date when unsold allotment returns to the supplier.

**Rate plan.** A named pricing product with its own base rate, currency, meal plan and conditions. A property can sell several rate plans at once: refundable, non-refundable, member-only or package.

**Parent rate plan.** The base plan that another plan follows.

**Derived rate plan.** A plan whose price follows another plan by a percentage or fixed amount. When the parent moves, the derived plan updates automatically.

**Markup.** Your margin or price difference added on top of a supplier rate.

**Minimum selling price.** A price floor from the contract. If a promotion or discount would push the final price below the floor, Adrasis raises it back to the allowed minimum.

**Stop-sale.** A setting that prevents bookings on a date for a property, room or rate plan without removing the inventory record.

**Restriction.** A booking rule such as minimum stay, maximum stay, weekday-only sale or advance-purchase window.

**Inventory.** The number of bookable units available for a room and date.

## Distribution

**Channel manager.** A partner system that already connects many hotels to booking channels. Adrasis can receive rates and inventory from channel managers.

**Outbound channel.** A channel Adrasis publishes to: online travel agencies, metasearch engines, B2B partners, superapps, niche channels and bedbank distributors.

**Inbound channel.** A source Adrasis receives from: direct hotel contracts, channel managers, bedbank suppliers or content catalogs.

**Channel visibility.** Which channels can see a property, room or rate plan. It answers questions like *"why is this room visible on channel X but not channel Y?"*

**Connector.** The partner connection that lets Adrasis exchange catalog, rates, inventory or bookings with a channel.

**Connector binding.** The live link between a connector and a property, room or rate plan. It turns mapping and credentials into a working channel.

## Adragent

**Adragent.** The Adrasis assistant for running operator work from chat, email, WhatsApp and SMS. You describe the job; Adragent prepares a preview and applies only after you confirm.

**Intent.** What you ask Adragent to do in natural language, such as *"Stop-sale Bodrum properties on July weekends."*

**Confirm-before-apply.** The rule that state-changing Adragent operations wait for your explicit confirmation before they apply.

**Tool.** An Adragent capability, such as listing properties, preparing a rate change or checking payment status.

## Payments

**Settlement currency.** The currency a payment is settled in, usually the operator's bank-account currency.

**Contract currency.** The currency a supplier contract is denominated in.

**Virtual card.** A single-use or limited-use payment card issued for a booking, often used to pay a supplier in their preferred currency.

**Reconciliation.** Matching expected payment events against actual payment events.

**Chargeback.** A payment dispute initiated by the cardholder. It reverses funds and starts a defense workflow for the operator.
