Three Month Forecast Report (three_month_forecast with FOR5.FMX)
Note: When printing this Report help topic, we recommend printing with Landscape page orientation.
The Three Month Forecast is a three-month outlook report based on the number of room nights, room revenue, and average rate per market main group per month. The report can only be printed for three months at a time and can print either forecasted or statistical happenings. The report displays the actuals for last year, actuals or forecast for this year, and the budget for last year. You have the ability to include Individuals Reservation that are deduct or non-deduct, Block Reservations (blocked and picked up) that are deduct or non-deduct (not including block rooms when the block status is INQUIRY, REGRET and LOST), and Revenue figures. If you select to include Revenue, the user must choose whether to display the Net room rate or the Package room rate.
All columns may be compared with other forecast reports except for the Double Occupancy %. This is due to the fact Double Occupancy % is calculated by Persons – Rooms/Rooms. Other reports calculate Multiple Occupancy % (Number of rooms occupied by more than one person/rooms occupied.
If the CASHIERING > BUDGETS application function is set to Y, the report output will include a column for defined Budgets for Market Codes. If attempting to compare the report against the Actuals and Forecast, the three_month_forecast should be run for All Reservations (i.e., Deduct and Non-Deduct) as Budgets do not take the Reservations Status into consideration. Additionally, if the Room Class functionality is activated and the user selects to filter on a specific Room Class, the Budgets column will not appear. This report will only print Budgets that are configured for Calendar months, if Fiscal Periods are used and Budgets defined for Periods, this report will not include the Fiscal defined Budgets.
Note: This report does not consider Out of Order functionality (when the ROOMS MANAGEMENT > OUT OF ORDER application function is active) for the calculation of the Occupancy percentage. This means it will always look at the ‘Inventory Rooms’ number, and the Occupancy will be the same with and without Out of Order rooms in the property.
