When you reduce the target sales from 17 to 10 double rooms, it means that instead of 17 reservations, the booking engine can send you 10 reservations only as long as you have 10 available rooms in your calendar.

The availability of the hotel always wins. For example you set target sales 10 rooms but if you have less rooms available, for example only 4 available, then only 4 reservations can be done through the booking engine even thought you applied 10 rooms at target sales. So what you set at target sales, the system will calculate and send your availability as follows: '''target sales - confirmed reservations = available rooms'''
