Selection Criteria

Production Period Section

Each change to Room and Event Revenue or Status is recorded in production change logs. When dates are entered in the Production From and To Date fields, those dates are used as filters when querying the logs. To illustrate, a business block that is created on status TEN in April 2003 with a start date in October 2003 turns to DEF in June 2003. In this scenario there would be two entries in the status change log for this business block: one for the creation of the business block on status TEN in April 2003 and one for the status change to DEF in June 2003. If revenue is added to the DEF business block in July 2003, another change log entry will be written to record that revenue. Because they filter on a date when something has already happened in OPERA, the dates entered here should be for today’s date or earlier. Separate change log entries are written for room and event status and revenue changes.

Production Period Section

Figures in these columns are filtered on the Production Period and Stay Dates.

• New DEF – Calculated from business blocks and events that turned Definite during the Production Period. Definite is determined by the New Definite filter in the report parameter screen.
• Cancel – Calculated from business blocks and events that turned to Cancel during the Production Period. These numbers will always be reported as a negative. Cancel is determined by the Cancel filter in the report parameter screen.
• Reval – (Revaluations) Calculated from business blocks and events that were already Definite when the Production Period began and had a change during the Production Period while still in Definite. Definite is determined by the New Definite filter in the report parameter screen.
• Slippage – This is calculated from business blocks and events that were already Actual when the Production Period began and had a change during the Production Period.

An example of the above columns:

In June 2012, Block turns DEF with 100 Rooms

In July 2012, Block drops to 95 Rooms (still DEF)

In August 2012, Block turns to ACT with 97 Rooms

If the report is run for Production Period June – August 2012, the results are:

NEW DEF +100 rooms

Reval -5 rooms

Slippage +2 rooms

Catering Slippage is calculated for each event as Billed Revenue – Production (excluding ACT Production from the requested production period).

• Net Change - Net Change = ( New Definite + Cancel + Reval + Slippage).

  Note: The Production Period figures are calculated from the following tables:

  - Room Revenue - Status change dates are taken from booking_status_changes. Room Revenue is calculated from allotment_changes. If the business block is in an Actual status, the Revenue is calculated from reservation_stat_daily.

  - Catering Production – Status change dates are taken from event$status_changes. Revenue is calculated from event$changes. If the event is in an Actual status, the Revenue is calculated from the billed revenue in gem$event_revenue.

• Budget – Budget for the Stay Period as entered in the OBI Budget Forecast module.
• STLY – (Same Time Last Year) Revenue for the Production and Stay Dates minus 1 Year.
