You will have to add the Customer for whom you wish to create this booking. After this, you will have to select the Bookable Product for which you’re making the manual booking. Let us go with “Hotel, The Pierre” as our bookable product. Next, you will get two options to create this order -either you can create it as a New Order or you can assign this booking to an order that exists already. First, let us go with a New Order option.

Let us now have a look at how you can assign a booking to an existing order. Under Create Order, this time we will choose “Assign this booking to an existing order with this ID”. After that, we will enter the existing order ID in the blank field and click on Next.
