Productivity report

The Productivity report shows guestroom and event production by Sales Manager and compares it to last year's figures and this year's goals. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're reviewing the report details:

You should run the Productivity report monthly to do the following:

To run the report

  1. Navigate to Amadeus Reports.
  2. Under To Be Discontinued, click Productivity Report.

As indicated by the page section name of "To Be Discontinued", this report will eventually be removed and permanently replaced by the new version of the Productivity report in the Pace & Productivity section of the Amadeus Reports page. The new report allows you to export to Excel, PDF, or another format, and has been enhanced for better performance. Please try moving to the new report and let us know if you have concerns (or why you prefer this original version of the report instead) by emailing support.

  1. Complete the report criteria. Some of the criteria fields allow you to select multiple values. To do so, press the CTRL key while clicking each value you want to include in the report.
    Criteria FieldDescription
    Beginning/Ending Activity DateAny bookings that were created or modified during the activity date range will be included in the report. Activity date range is typically last month.
    Beginning/Ending Consumption DateAny roomnights or events that are in house during this date range will be included in the report. Consumption date range is typically the first day of last month through the end of booking time.

    Consumption refers to the actual dates that revenue is generated, regardless of the booking's arrival and departure dates. For example, if a booking is in house December 29 – January 2, and you run the report using a consumption date range of December 1 – December 31, only those guestrooms and events on Dec. 29, Dec. 30, and Dec. 31 will be included.

    Here are a few examples of how you might set the activity and consumption date ranges for the Productivity report:

    • To see activity that took place in the month for the month, set both date ranges the same.
    • To see activity that took place last month for groups that will be in house anytime in the future, set the activity date range to last month and the consumption date range to the end of booking time.
    PropertiesBy default, all properties will be included in the report. If needed, select only those properties you want to report on.
    Sales ManagersBooking changes made by these Sales Manager during the activity date range will be included in the report. Typically, the Productivity report is run for all Sales Managers (the default setting); however, you can select specific Sales Managers to run it against.
    GuestroomsSelect to report on Blocked or Forecasted guestroom values when pickup figures are not available.

    Guestroom information is based on pickup figures when the entire booking is marked pickup complete (not its individual room blocks).

    Sales Manager RoleActivity from Sales Managers in this booking role will be included in the report: Booked By (default), Catering Manager, or Service Manager.
    Include Guestroom/Event RevenueBy default, both Guestroom and Event Revenue will be included in the report. If needed, select to run the report for one type of revenue only.

    Selecting Event in this picklist makes the Show Event Revenue Detail check box available.

    Show Event Revenue DetailWhen this check box is selected, the event revenue for each month in the consumption date range will be broken down into individual parent revenue classifications (Food, Beverage, Resource, Audio Visual, Administrative Charge, Other, Function Room Rental, and any custom parent classifications).
    Sales Manager TotalsWhen this check box is selected, grand totals are shown for each Sales Manager at each property. This section is displayed at the end of the report and includes grand totals for guestrooms, guestroom revenue, and/or event revenue during the consumption date range.
    Event Revenue ClassificationsSelect the corporate revenue classifications you want to display in the report when Show Event Revenue Detail is selected. Custom revenue classifications (for example, Golf and Spa) are also included in the list of available choices. All revenue classifications are selected by default.
    Goal ClassificationSelect one or more goal classifications (for example, 2020 Food & Beverage Goal or 2020 Rooms Goal). A goal comparison will be displayed at the end of the report for each goal classification you select.
  2. Click Generate Report to view the report on-screen or Generate PDF to view the report as a PDF file that you can save or print.
