@Sandra126 of course that is correct-when u have booking.
But in my example I'm talking about inquiries that could become booking:
1) I get request from person A, let say, period from 1.-20.august and I pre-approve it
2) then I get request for person B for period 8-15. august, which is only 7 days and it's in the middle of possible 1. request
3) I tell person B that I'm waiting for person A to reply (ofc - that is 20 days compared to 7)
4) person A is not responding (has 24 hrs to book), in the meantime person B could ask someone else and get reservation
If I saw that person A read my message and is not replying on purpose I would approve person B, but since I do not see it - im patient.
I hope I'm more clear now 🙂
