A BDI (Breakdown item) is a product or a service that a guest purchased through his/her reservation or has been charged during the guest's stay. This could be anything you can imagine.
An important BDI is the breakfast BDI as this BDI has a separate status.
- A breakfast BDI can only be knocked off on the revenue date, if the guest does not use his breakfast the BDI is forfeited.
- Any other BDI can be used from the DCI until DCO even after checkout. For example, a 3 nights reservation includes a Spa treatment. The guest can use this treatment any day during his/her stay, even after check out. If the guest wants to avail of the BDI on the DCI, the guest must check in first. If the guest tries to avail of the treatment the day after check out, the BDI is forfeited.
- BDI can apply to G folio as well as S Folios.
