Select Front Desk > In House Guests > Reservation Options to access the Share Confirmation screen or choose Reservation > Update Reservations > Reservation Options > Shares. Sometimes their stay dates coincide exactly and sometimes only part of their stays overlap. It is not unusual for two or more guests having individual reservations to wish to occupy the same room, and possibly to maintain separate billing and folios.
