Initiates multiple reservations/quotes into rental items. It returns all rental item IDs that were successfully processed as well as any ones that failed. The failed rental items will indicate the rental item ID that was part of the request object and an error message as to why.

Description

Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We’ll assume you’ve got a web reference, let’s name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project.  At this point we need to our objects.  We’ll need the standard service object, a MakeMultipleReservations request object and a MakeMultipleReservations response object. We will also need one or more RentalContact objects and one or more MakeReservation request objects.

// Create needed objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.MakeMultipleReservations_Request request = new SWS.MakeMultipleReservations_Request();
SWS.MakeMultipleReservations_Response response;

SWS.MakeReservation_Request resRequest = new SWS.MakeReservation_Request();
SWS.MakeReservation_Request resRequest2 = new SWS.MakeReservation_Request();
SWS.RentalContact conRequest = new SWS.RentalContact();

Here’s my sample code of the various objects. In this sample, two units are being reserved by the same person on the same account.

// Assign values
conRequest.ContactId = 123456;
conRequest.AddressId = 123456;
conRequest.PhoneId = 123456;
conRequest.PrimaryFlag = true;

resRequest.SiteID = 123456;
resRequest.AcctID = 123456;
resRequest.UnitID = 123456;
resRequest.Version = 5;
resRequest.QuoteType = SWS.Quote_Types.QuoteOnly;
resRequest.RentNow = false;
resRequest.Price = 50m;
resRequest.Contacts = new SWS.RentalContact[] { conRequest };

resRequest2.SiteID = 123456;
resRequest2.AcctID = 123456;
resRequest2.UnitID = 456789;
resRequest2.Version = 12;
resRequest2.QuoteType = SWS.Quote_Types.QuoteOnly;
resRequest2.RentNow = false;
resRequest2.Price = 60m;
resRequest2.Contacts = new SWS.RentalContact[] { conRequest };

request.OrgID = 123456;
request.Reservations = new SWS.MakeReservation_Request[] 
                      { resRequest, resRequest2 } ;

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to make our multiple reservations. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

// Call the method that will load the response object
try
{
  response = service.MakeMultipleReservations(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You’ll want to take a look at that message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
