Enter guestroom inventory
For each room type you create, you need to enter the guestroom inventory over a specified date range. This ensures that the Daily Information section of the Availability page reflects accurate availability.
Because the Run of House (ROH) room type represents the sum total of all guestroom types, you do not enter inventory for it.
To enter guestroom inventory
- In the Guestroom Types section of the Property page, click the appropriate guestroom type.
- In the Daily Guestroom Values section, enter the following information:
Date From and Date To Enter or select the date range for which you are entering inventory. If rooms of this type will not be available during certain days of the week, clear those check boxes. You can only enter inventory for up to one year at a time.
Room Type Physical Inventory Not applicable to ROH The total number of guestrooms of that type in inventory.
If you are retiring a guestroom type, you need to zero out its inventory for all future days before you can make the room type inactive.
Room Type OOO The number of rooms of that type that will be out of inventory (OOO) during the selected date range. Room Type Transient Protected ROH only The number of rooms to be taken out of group inventory and set aside for individual travelers (transient business).
If your numbers vary daily, you might prefer to enter Transient Protected in the Daily Information section of the Availability page. Click into the day to be edited, enter the number of rooms to hold, tab to the next day, then click save in the top right corner to save your changes.
