Wash Codes

Occasionally it is necessary to wash the number of rooms for a Business Block by using either a percentage of the blocked rooms or a specific number of rooms or room types. Wash Codes allow the user to define a schedule that can be attached to a Business Block prior to a Block's cutoff date to automate this process.
