How a unit block works
- Request. A salesperson links the unit to the customer's opportunity and asks for a block. The unit stays Available until it is approved.
- Approval. A sales manager or director approves, rejects or asks for more information. If another block on the same unit is approved first, the request is rejected automatically.
- Hold. The unit shows as Blocked, and only the holder can move it to a reservation.
- Expiry or reservation. The block either turns into a reservation or expires and the unit returns to Available.
Block reasons
Developers record why a unit is blocked, because the reason decides who may release it. Typical sales reasons are VIP sale, bulk sale, management sale or a partial payment received. Legal or developer restrictions are blocks that sales staff should not be able to lift.
On Nogbase
Units in Nogbase follow a hold, release, reserve and sold lifecycle, and a background worker releases holds when they expire, so a hold never outlives its window by accident.
Frequently asked questions
Is a unit block the same as a reservation?
No. A block holds a unit for a short, set period while the customer decides. A reservation commits the unit to the buyer, normally against a booking payment and a signed reservation agreement, and leads to the SPA.
How long does a unit block last?
As long as the developer configures, usually a few days, and sometimes only minutes in timer-based launches. It should end automatically rather than relying on someone to release it.
Who can remove a block?
It depends on the block reason. Ordinary sales blocks can be removed by sales operations or a sales manager. Blocks for legal or developer restrictions should only be lifted through the process that created them.
