Overview

The Certification section tracks the technical validation process between the TPS and Bakuun before going live.

Each row represents a certification request and shows its current execution status. This ensures that all required integration checks are completed and approved before production activation.

Table Reference - Certification Overview

Additional Actions

• Clicking on the Status (e.g., In Progress) redirects to the Certification Details page, where you can view a step by step breakdown of all executed test cases. 
• Click + Certification to initiate a new certification request once the current one has been completed and marked as certified.

Certification → Certification Details

This section provides a detailed overview of the selected certification request for a Third Party Supplier account. It displays key identifiers and timeline information related to the certification process.

Table Reference - Certification Details → Header Section

Certification Details → Certification Progress Summary

The Certification Progress Summary appears below the header and provides a real time snapshot of the scenario execution status for the selected certification request.

It helps you quickly understand how many test cases have been completed, how many remain, and the overall certification progress.

Table Reference – Certification Details → Certification Progress Summary

Certification → Certification Details → Section 

The Section tab within Certification Details lists all functionalities that can be tested and certified for the integration.

Each row represents a specific integration scenario, such as:

• Mapping 
• ARI Restrictions 
• Rate Models
• Booking Flows

This section shows whether each feature is:

• Supported by your system 
• Pending validation 
• Successfully certified

It provides a clear overview of what has been implemented, what is still under testing, and what is not supported.

This tab serves as a reference point for both technical teams and platform reviewers during the certification process.

Certification Details → Section → Mapping

The Mapping category verifies your ability to send or receive room and rate mapping data. This is a core requirement to ensure that room and rate plans sync correctly with the Bakuun platform and connected Demand Partners.

Mapping certification typically includes three methods:

• Push → You send mapping data to Bakuun. 
• Read → You receive mapping information from Bakuun. 
• Pull → You retrieve mapping data via API on demand.

Each row represents a testable scenario for one of these methods.

Table Reference - Certification Details → Section → Mapping

Certification Details → Section → Restrictions

The Restrictions category verifies the restriction-related capabilities supported by the TPS integration. These restrictions control how availability, stay rules, and booking conditions are managed.

This section shows:

• Whether the TPS supports each restriction type 
• Whether it has passed certification testing 
• Whether it is selectable for certification execution

Each row represents a specific restriction scenario.

Full List of Restriction Categories

Certification Details → Section → Rate Model

The Rate Model section verifies whether your TPS supports advanced pricing logic and occupancy based rate structures.

These features control how rates are calculated, adjusted, and validated during certification.

Each row represents a rate capability declared by your system. You can enable only the items marked as Supported.

Summary of Rate Model Categories

Certification Details → Section → Booking

The Booking section verifies which booking operations your TPS integration supports, such as new bookings, modifications, and cancellations.

During certification, these actions are tested to ensure full end to end compatibility between the TPS and Bakuun.

Each row represents a booking capability that can be declared, tested, and certified.

Table Reference - Certification Details → Section → Booking

Certification → Certification Details → Configuration

The Configuration tab allows you to manually define property, room, and rate plan combinations for certification testing.

This section is used to simulate ARI updates and booking payload validation before executing certification scenarios. It ensures that your selected Room and Rate Plan combinations are correctly mapped and ready for test execution.

Each configuration must be saved before moving to the Execution tab.

Table Reference - Certification Details → Configuration

Certification → Certification Details → Execution

The Execution tab is where certification test scenarios are launched and validated.

This section simulates real integration flows to confirm that your system can correctly send, receive, and process data with Bakuun.

⚠️ If certification is required for a selected scenario in the Configuration tab, it must be executed and validated here before approval.

Available Certification Scenarios

The three certification categories are:

• Mapping 
• ARI (Availability, Rates, Inventory) 
• Booking

Only scenarios marked for certification need to be executed.

Each scenario may contain one or more transaction tests that are automatically validated against expected success conditions.

Table Reference - Certification Scenario → Execution

Important: Certification will not progress to approval until all required scenarios show successful execution results.

Certification Details → Execution Example: ARI Scenario

This section demonstrates how to execute an ARI certification test to validate availability updates at the rate plan level.

The example shown is:

“Update room availability at rate plan level.”

⚠️ Note:

Only scenarios marked as required in the Configuration tab need to be executed. If certification is not required, this section may be skipped.

Table Reference - Certification Scenario → Execution Example: ARI Scenario

Tip:

If a scenario fails, expand Show Details to review the request and response logs before retrying.

ARI Scenario – Show Details (Expanded)

When you click Show Details, the scenario expands to display a full breakdown of the executed request and system response. This view is especially useful for technical validation during certification.

Table Reference - ARI Scenario – Show Details (Expanded)

A green Successful badge at the top right confirms that the entire scenario passed all assertions and is ready for certification.

💡 Tip

If you see "success": false in the Response section, review the accompanying error message carefully.

Common causes include:

• Invalid or missing Room ID or Rate Plan ID 
• Incorrect date formatting 
• Mismatch between mapping setup and ARI values

Use the tracking ID when coordinating with your technical team or Bakuun Support for faster troubleshooting.

About the Other Scenarios: Mapping & Booking

Aside from ARI, two additional certification scenarios are available under the Execution tab:

🔹 Mapping Scenario

Verifies that your Property ID, Room ID, and Rate Plan ID are correctly mapped in your system.

This ensures:

• Identifiers are aligned with the Bakuun platform 
• Mapping data can be properly referenced by ARI and Booking transactions

Accurate mapping is required before other scenarios can pass successfully.

🔹 Booking Scenario

Validates your system’s ability to process booking flows, including:

• New bookings 
• Modifications 
• Cancellations
• Read bookings

Each operation must return the expected response and be marked Successful to meet certification requirements.

Important Note

While the ARI example is shown in detail, the structure and validation logic for Mapping and Booking scenarios follow the same execution process.

Once all required scenarios are successfully completed, click Enroll Certification to submit your integration for review by the Bakuun team.
