History and Forecast Business Block (history_forecast_blk with FOR4.FMX)
Note: When printing this Report help topic, we recommend printing with Landscape page orientation.
The History and Forecast Business Block Report gives you a clear picture of past reservation activity as well as what reservations are anticipated into the future, broken down into Individual versus Block Business. The report output is divided into Statistical data and Forecast data. The output will match that of the history_forecast.rep with a further additional breakdown of Revenues and Rooms.
The history_forecast_blk report output will include both Block Rooms Picked Up (reservations have been made) and Block Rooms Not Picked up (rooms have been reserved in the Block Grid but reservations have not been made), but does not include block rooms when the block status is INQUIRY, REGRET and LOST. If the Business Block Types parameter is not active, all Blocks will be grouped under the type of ‘Unknown’. If the parameter is active, and a Block Type has not been designated on the Block Header, those business blocks will be grouped under ‘Unknown’.
Note: When running the History and Forecast report [history_forecast.rep], the History and Forecast Business Block report [history_forecast_blk.rep], or the Business on the Books report [business_on_the_books.rep] for a date range where multiple-night block or individual reservations had an Advance Bill generated, the total LOS revenue is posted to History the first night after the night audit is run. The daily revenue is then subtracted from Forecast each subsequent night after the audit is run, until the LOS is depleted and/or the reservation block is checked out.
Detailed. The report output will print with one Block Category per page. The report will automatically group all “History” dates together and all “Forecast” dates together for each Block Category. The History section will have a subtotal, the Forecast section will have a subtotal, and a Totals row will be displayed for each Block Category selected. The final page of the report will then display a Grand Totals of “All Block Categories”. The following columns will display the same numbers for each Block Category and the Grand Totals section:
Total Occupancy
Arrival Rooms
Individual Deduct Rooms
Individual Deduct Room Revenue
Individual Non Deduct Rooms
Individual Non Deduct Room Revenue

This is not a one to one column comparison for all columns; some comparisons will require manual addition of several columns.
