Creating Sleeping Rooms

An administrator can define sleeping rooms for the property using the Property Administration screen's Sleeping Rooms view. Generic sleeping room types can be mapped to multiple property specific sleeping room types. Multiple property specific sleeping room types can be mapped to multiple generic sleeping room types. Many to many relationships are supported. An administrator can assign a percentage to each mapped property specific sleeping room type to specify how many rooms of each type to reserve.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Function Spaces, Sleeping Rooms, and Suites.

To create sleeping room records

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen > Properties list view.
2. In the Properties list, query for the required property.
3. Click the link in the Property Name field, and then click the Sleeping Rooms view tab.
4. To create a property-specific sleeping room record, click the Property Specific Sleeping Rooms link.
5. In the Sleeping Rooms list, create a record, and complete the fields.

   The following table describes some of the fields.

   Field	Comments
   Capacity	The room capacity. The number of sleeping rooms of that type in the hotel.
   Description	A description of the room.
   Name	A descriptive label for the sleeping room. After the record is saved, click the link in the Name field to navigate to the Product Administration screen > Products view.
   Product Line	If defined, the product line associated with the sleeping room. Click the link in the Product Line field to navigate to the Product Administration screen > Product Lines view.
   Room CRS Code	The Central Reservation System code for the sleeping room.
   Type	The sleeping room type. Options are sleeping room and suite.
   Effective Start Date	The date on which this sleeping room is available for use.
   Effective End Date	The date on which this sleeping room is no longer available for use.

To map a generic sleeping room type to multiple property specific sleeping room types

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen > Properties list view.
2. In the Properties list, query for the required property.
3. Click the link in the Property Name field, and then click the Sleeping Rooms view tab.
4. Click the Map Sleeping Rooms link.
5. In the Generic Sleeping Rooms list, select a record, and associate one or more corresponding property specific sleeping rooms in the Sleeping Rooms list.
6. Enter a value in the Percentage to Sell field. This value specifies the percentage of each specific sleeping room type that will be reserved for a single generic sleeping room type.

   For example, suppose a generic sleeping room type called Generic Standard is mapped to two property specific types called Standard Smoking and Standard Non Smoking, with Percentage to Sell values of 25% and 75%, respectively. If a customer wants 100 Generic Standard sleeping rooms, the quote will reserve 25 rooms for Standard Smoking and 75 rooms for Standard Non Smoking.

   NOTE:  The percentage amount of the Percentage to Sell values does not need to be equally distributed among the property specific types, but the distribution amount must equal 100%. If a generic sleeping room is mapped to a single property specific sleeping room type, the Percentage to Sell value must be 100%.
