Guest Preferences (guest_preferences with PRF1.FMX)

The Guest Preferences Report displays those reservations for the date range specified which have preferences attached to the profile and/or reservation. You can choose to report information for all profiles or those profiles with reservations having specific arrival dates or stay dates. Additional filters include the ability to include pseudo rooms, display all or specific VIP codes, and to report individual reservations or reservations attached to blocks.

For the Preferences attached to the Preference Group, to display on the report, the Reservation Preference check box must be selected on the Preference Groups configuration screen. If this check box is not selected and items from this Preference Group are attached to guest profiles, they will not display on the report when it is run.

Note: Irrespective of the Preference Group being configured as a Reservation Preference or not, this report will always display the preferences attached to the guests profile, unless there is a Preference attached to the Reservation from the same Preference Group, then this Preference will be displayed.

Note: If a preference within a specific preference group exists on the guest reservation and on the guest profile, the preference stated on the reservation is reported. However, all other preferences from the profile for other preference groups will be reported. For example if a guest has newspaper preferences of NEW YORK TIMES and MIAMI HERALD attached to the profile but on the reservation you attach a newspaper preference of LOCAL NEWSPAPER, then the report will only display the reservation preference of LOCAL NEWSPAPER. If the same guest also has a smoking preference of NON-SMOKING and on the reservation there is no smoking preference attached then the report will print the NON- SMOKING preference from the profile because it does not belong to the preference group NEWSPAPER.
