To access the Business Block Summary screen, first access the Business Block screen.

Explanation of the Business Block Summary

For this example, let's say that your net total is $3371.82 and you total including tax is $3410.00. There is a $15.00 breakfast package included in the rate, which is tax inclusive and has a 10% F&B Tax. Here is how the figures on the screen would break down. Keep in mind, these are only potential figures, not actual.

Note: The Generates mentioned in the example above are NOT shown on the Business Block Summary screen and are NOT included in the revenue total. Normally, these generates represent taxes. Therefore the total revenue on the screen shows as 7835.00 (total revenue incl. taxes) – 38.18 (Generates / Taxes) = 7796.82 (total net revenue).

Important! This screen will not show catering revenue from the catering revenue stream in the Actual column, assuming that all catering revenue has been or will be posted and therefore be contained in the PMS revenue stream already. Displaying it separately as catering revenue duplicates the revenues.

In the Potential column catering revenue will only show the revenue of active events if the catering block status is active. The revenue of lost or canceled events is NOT included. When the catering status on the block itself is canceled, all catering revenues show (from all canceled events), but the background of these fields is shaded red to indicate that this is CANCELED revenue. These revenues are not included in the total revenue for the block. When the block status is canceled, the revenues related to the room rate and PMS revenue stream will appear with a red background, and will not be included in the total revenue of the block as shown for this screen. If both the block and the catering status are canceled, then all fields on the Statistics screen will appear with a red background, and the total represents the total of canceled revenues for the block.

Currency. Displays the configured base currency for the property.

Potential. Potential room revenue calculated from the Room Grid when the grid is at a non-actual status. Potential Room Revenue is taken from the business block header's rate information.

Actual. Actual room revenue calculated from the Room Grid when the block changes to an actual status and there are reservations made against this grid (the Picked Up grid). Actual room revenue will always be taken from reservation rate codes for future days and from actual postings for past- days.
