Yield Categories

Searching and Editing Yield Categories

Yield categories are groupings of like or similar rooms that are presented to customers in OPERA based on either the target market or pricing structure at the property. All room types for the property are automatically assigned to the default yield category Standard. These room types can be left in the default Standard yield category, or you can create new categories to better manage your property's demand and pricing. Along with yield categories, hurdle steps will have to be configured to define the exact hurdle amounts (price slices) that will be forecasted for all yieldable room types in a property.
To search the Yield Categories:
  1. From the OPERA Cloud Administration menu, select Financial, select Rate Management, and then select Yield Categories.
  2. Select Property, if you are logging in at a HUB level.
  3. Select Category. This is the Yield Category.
  4. In the search results table, click the vertical ellipsis and select Edit.
  5. Enter or modify the information in mandatory fields and click Save.
    The changes for the modified Yield Categories appear in the table.
