This release introduces hold functionality for Bene Moove rail bookings via the new Bene API. It is now possible to put a BENE Moove rail booking on hold, provided the Last Ticketing Date is sufficiently far in the future, giving travelers more time to finalize their plans. This feature is enabled only for the new Bene API; there were no changes to the legacy API.
Hold booking functionality:
A “hold booking” is a temporary reservation that secures a seat and price without initiating the full booking process. It creates a reservation but does not issue a ticket or trigger further Goelett workflows (e.g., approval). This reservation is contingent on certain conditions, such as a time limit before automatic cancellation, self-confirmation, or approval (if enabled). If these conditions are not met, the reservation is automatically canceled. Hold functionality is always optional for users.
