Path: From the Administration menu, select Inventory, select Accommodation Management, and then select Room Conditions
Rules: You can enter up to 5 letters and/or numbers when setting up new Room Condition Codes.
Prerequisites: In the OPERA Controls Room Management group, the Maintenance function must be active. You must have access to the following user tasks: Inventory Admin - Manage Accommodations - Room Maintenance - New /Edit Room Maintenance and Inventory Admin - Manage Accommodations - Room Maintenance - Delete Room Maintenance.
Room Condition codes are assigned to designate rooms that are available for showing, rooms that are set aside for special housekeeping attention, or rooms that are to be treated differently for any other reason. Rooms that have a condition code assigned to them may or may not be available for assignment to guests, depending on how you configure the code. If the setting for Hold Rooms is turned on, then codes HOLD1 - 4 will be listed by default. The codes for hold rooms cannot be changed, but the times for the holds can be configured.
In a multi-property environment, room conditions are created on the template level and then copied to each property. To be consistent among all hotels in the environment, best practice is to reuse existing codes for new hotels in an existing setup or agree on universal codes for all properties. When the setting for hold rooms is on, the setting is on the template level, but times for the holds are set at the property level.
To add new Room Condition codes:
Select the Template tab.
Click New
Enter the Property, the new Code, and a Description of the code. Enter a sequence number by entering it in the field, or using the plus and minus buttons, and if desired, mark the new code as Inactive. Select Display in Room Assignment if rooms designated with the code should be made available for assignment to guests.
Click Save.
