To decide what reservation source you want Mews Operations to assign to a reservation, review the following scenario first:

1. A guest goes to "Random Travel Agency" to book a stay in Paris.
2. "Random Travel Agency" connects to the SynXis global distribution system, or GDS, and books the property.
3. The booking goes through SiteMinder and gets created in Mews. Note: SiteMinder as a source is always mentioned in the booking.
4. This booking went through "Random Travel Agency" and SynXis GDS, you can pick one source to have it assigned to the booking.
