Custom Hotel Sourcing (CHS) sorting
The CHS Provider-Controlled Sort feature allows hotel content suppliers to dictate the order of hotel search results and rates, enhancing the user experience by offering tailored search results. Through an agreement with SAP Concur solutions, the customer, and the CHS provider, the provider can control the sort order. You can change the sort to any other option in the dropdown during the booking process, but selecting the Default sort option restores the provider-controlled property sort.
The following image is an example of what the user sees during the booking process.
