Display Rooms for Reservations

Rooms are assigned to reservations based on their grades and Owner RevPar values. The rooms are categorized in the ascending order of priority of grades, that is, the rooms that are under grade 1 are assigned the highest priority.

Sample Scenario

Consider the rooms created for the NKX room type with the following grades and Owner RevPar values.

Room Number

Grade

Owner RevPar Value

Rack Order

400

102

When users create a reservation using the NKX room type, the Room Assignment tab of the Book a Reservation screen will display the rooms based on their grade and Owner RevPar values. In this scenario, rooms 101 and 102 fall under the same grade (1). Out of these two rooms, 102 has the least value of Owner RevPar. Hence, room number 102 will be assigned to the next reservation as a priority followed by room numbers, 101, 103, and 104.

When the housekeeping condition of the room is not suitable for check-in, the room will not be displayed for selection.

When users proceed to book a reservation without assigning a room, the rooms will be displayed in the same order of assignment in the Other Matching Rooms section of the reservation.

When a room is assigned to the reservation during date roll, or from the following screens, room 102 will be assigned:

  • Batch Operations  Check-In  Assign Rooms

  • Tape Chart Assign Rooms

This order of room assignment is applied when users upgrade the room type of a reservation to NKX from the Recommended Upgrades section or perform a scheduled room move for a reservation booked using a different room type to NKX room type.
