Setting Up Special Dates

Siebel Hospitality provides you with the ability to flag special dates that must be acknowledged by an administrator when setting up pricing. Individual days or date ranges can be flagged as special dates. These dates can be occasions where extra function space or sleeping rooms are required for an event; they can be holidays or special events; or they can be dates flagged with sell notes or part of a particular sales strategy.

Special dates are typically set up by revenue managers. Flagging certain days as special dates for a property alerts sales representatives that the revenue manager wants to generate extra revenue on the days in question. More than one special date for each day can be set up at the property.

Special date can be viewed in the Function Space Calendar and Sleeping Room Calendar. For more information, see Accessing the Function Space Calendar and Accessing the Sleeping Room Calendar.
