The Occupancy Forecast Report is used to get a detailed analysis of occupancy, room occupancy, availability and revenue during a specific time period.
Occupancy Forecast Report Rules
- The Room Revenue is calculated on Projected Income of the future bookings.
- You can choose to "Include Group Hard Allocations". This settings changes the # of rooms (rooms available) calculated for occupancy, room availability and revenue. This is useful if you want to see Occupancy
- For example is you have 50 Rooms available and 15 are allocated to a group and you choose NOT to "Include Group Allocations", then the number of available Rooms will be 35. See details below.
- Will deduct any Out of Order Rooms or rooms flagged to ignore on Occupancy Report from the total number of rooms in the first column "Room" in the Report.
Key Differences between the Occupancy and Occupancy Forecast Reports

- The Occupancy report requires a room assignment, while the Occupancy Forecast does not;because a room may not have been assigned yet.
- The Occupancy Report gives the option of deducting "OOO" Rooms from the Rooms Available total. The Occupancy Forecast report always deducts "OOO" Rooms from the Rooms Available total. For Example, if you have 50 Rooms available and 2 are OOO, The Occupancy Forecast will show 48 total rooms available.
- The other key difference is when you run the Occupancy Forecast Report, you can choose to include or exclude hard allocations from Groups BookingsGroup Booking allocations. This setting changes the total # of rooms. See a detailed description below.
