Siebel Hospitality Guide > Managing Property-Specific Event Quotes > About Property-Specific QuotesWhen the event sales representative generates a quote for each property that meets the requirements of the event, this action marks the transition between the opportunity phase of event planning to the quote phase. The opportunity is used to capture customer information about the event that may be applicable to a number of properties. Based on the information, quotes are generated, and the generic information is transformed to property-specific information. Quotes incorporate the availability and pricing response from each property, given the generic requirements captured during the opportunity stage. Creating a property quote from the Opportunity screen's Properties view launches several system processes. Figure 7 shows an example of a typical process flow. As shown in Figure 7, when a quote is generated, the following processes occur:
Quotes and Non-Participating PropertiesFor nonparticipating properties, generic products (line items and room blocks) are mapped to property-specific products. However, pricing information is not associated with room blocks, and the availability check for both room blocks and function space is not performed. |
