Amend/Delete Selling Group

DO NOT delete the selling group 'Main' as this is the selling group in which your own rates apply to.

You can amend any selling group's details, rate values and mappings at any time but you can only delete a selling group from your iBex account when all the below conditions have been met:

All companies or sales channels that were registered to the selling group have been registered to another,
All room types and rates have been unmapped from the selling group, and
All extras have been unmapped from the selling group.

TIP - You can easily rename a selling group and amend the rate values so deleting a sales group is not always necessary.
