Siebel Hospitality Guide > Working with Inventory > Management of Functions at the Quote Stage > Using Reserve and Next Fit to Hold Function SpaceThe sales manager can use the Reserve button on the Quote Function view to reserve a specific space or category. The manager uses the Next Fit button to find available function space that meets the event requirements. ReserveThe Reserve button is typically used under the following conditions:
Next FitWhen the Next Fit button is clicked, the best available function space (based on number of attendees, setup style, any specified features, and physical area specified in the function) is selected, and the inventory status is Reserved. For example, after an opportunity is created and a quote generated, the user reviews the function space availability in the Quote screen's Function view. At this point, the user clicks Next Fit to launch the process of finding and reserving the best available function space. NOTE: Users can only click the Next Fit button if a function space has not already been selected and reserved for the function. In some circumstances, the Next Fit process may not locate any available spaces. In this case, the system returns the best-fit function space with a status of Unreserved. NOTE: The user cannot use the Next Fit option when managing NPPs. |
