To get the remaining yieldable capacity we need to look at the Physical Capacity and remove out of order rooms, include overbooking, subtract group committed, and remove unmanaged rooms and Transient Room Nights Sold

Guestrev recommends overbooking levels for each room category based on historical mix and DOW, and this overbooking level is used in the forecasting and pricing recommendations. Because of this, overbooking recommendations should be reviewed daily.

In the Overbooking section, the Previous row represents the overbooking level currently in the PMS. The Recommended row represents the recommended overbooking levels to send to the PMS.

If a different overbooking is desired, the recommendation can be overridden with either an overbooking percent or by a specified amount, then the date can be reoptimized to understand how the change in capacity affected the recommended rate for this date.

Group blocks and room nights affect the remaining capacity, so it is important to also review this information. Room Nights OTB represent current room nights booked within the block, Block represents the current group rooms blocked, Wash is the forecasted wash percentage, and Committed (w/Wash) is the group forecast number after wash factors and overrides are applied.

• An override can be applied to the total number of rooms in the block by using the Block Override or by adjusting the wash percentage that’s applied to the block.

Taking into account the physical hotel capacity, the out of order rooms, overbooking, and groups, we’re left with the remaining capacity the hotel has left to sell, represented in this Transient Capacity field. Room nights actual/OTB represent what is already been sold. The remaining yieldable capacity deducts rooms OTB and any unmanaged rooms from the Transient Capacity.

The Occupancy section represents current booked and projected occupancy.

The Transient Actual OTB represents current transient occupancy percentage.

Transient Projected represents the forecasted transient occupancy percentage.

The Hotel Actual/OTB represents current total hotel occupancy percentage (including group committed).

Hotel Projected represents the forecasted total hotel occupancy percentage (including group forecast).
