Booking Information:

• Group Status: Status on Groups falls into five categories: Unconfirmed, Confirmed, Active, Complete, Cancelled. Group Bookings default to Confirmed status during the group booking wizard, however you can set the status to unconfirmed as desired. Once any individual booking within a group checks in, the group bookings status goes to Active. Group Bookings go to status complete in two scenarios:

• • • When all individual bookings have checked out, the group will be set to status complete during the night audit process.
    • If a Group has no individual room bookings the status will automatically be set to complete during the Night Audit process of the groups arrival date

• Projected Income: Projected Income shows the projected income of the booking based on the Hard Allocations in the Group Booking. For example,  if you have 3 Singles at $100 each allocated, then the Projected Income would be $300 plus tax. The projected income always includes tax. The amount shown in the Booking Header under Group Revenue is calculated from the actual rooms booked shown in the Room List. See Booking Header.
