30Managing Hospitality Reports
Managing Hospitality Reports
This chapter describes the administrator and end-user procedures for managing BI Publisher reports in Siebel Hospitality. It includes the following topics:
About Hospitality Reports
You can run and print multiple types of reports on information in Siebel Hospitality by using an embedded third-party technology, Oracle® Business Intelligence Publisher (Oracle BI Publisher).
By updating report templates, you can modify Hospitality reports that are specific to your property. Some examples are the logos that are displayed; and hotel policies such as guarantees, contractual language, tax requirements, and service charge guidelines that can be included. Siebel application reports are configurable in Oracle BI Publisher, which is an add-in to Microsoft Word. Therefore, you can make changes to the reports in Microsoft Word.
You can run Hospitality reports in various formats such as RTF, HTML, XLS, and so on. This enables you to manually modify reports as needed, and to be flexible in sharing and printing report contents.
For more information about setting up and managing reports, see Siebel Reports Guide.
Roadmap for Administering Hospitality Reports
This topic lists the processes and tasks that administrators typically perform to administer Hospitality reports. Your company might follow a different process according to its business requirements.
To administer Hospitality reports, perform the following processes and tasks:
Configuring Headers for Hospitality Reports
Before users can generate a Hospitality report, administrators must configure the report headers. Report headers that are associated with line items, that contain generic comments, or that contain function-specific comments can appear in a report.
This task is a step in Roadmap for Administering Hospitality Reports.
This topic includes the following topics:
Creating Global Report Headers
Although Siebel Hospitality includes multiple global report headers, administrators can create additional global report headers. Administrators can then associate these headers with properties and products so that users can associate these report headers with the line items that appear in Hospitality reports.
To create a global report header
Navigate to the Report Headers screen.
In the Report Headers list, create a new record.
Setting Up Report Headers for a Property
Administrators can associate a global report header with any property. Siebel Hospitality includes multiple global report headers. If the global report header that you want to associate with a property is not set up in Siebel Hospitality, you can associate a property-specific report header with the property. In this case, you can change the name of the property-specific report header to another name that accommodates your business needs.
Administrators can also create generic comments for property-specific report headers. Users can include these comments in a report, exclude these comments from a report, or add new comments to a report.
To set up a report header for a property
Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
In the Properties list, query for and select the property to associate with a report header.
Drill down on the link in the Property Name field.
Click the Report Headers view tab.
In the Report Headers list, create a new record.
The following table describes some of the fields.
Field Comments Report Header
Select a value for the report header. You create the available values in the Report Headers screen. For more information, see Creating Global Report Headers.
Label
Enter the report header name to appear in the generated report. Use this field to customize the label for the global report header.
BEO Sequence
Select a number that determines the order in which the report header appears in the report. For example, if you select 1, the report header appears as the first header in the report.
To create generic comments for the property-specific report header, complete the following steps for each comment you add:
Scroll down to the Comments list, and create a new record.
In the Sequence field, select a number that determines the sequence in which the comment text appears in the dialog box that Siebel Hospitality displays when users add comments to the report.
In the Comments field, enter a description.
(Optional) To check the comment text for spelling errors, click the Check Spelling button.
Setting Up Report Headers for Property-Specific Products
After administrators set up property-specific report headers, they can associate those report headers with the products assigned to the properties that use those report headers.
To set up a report header for a property-specific product
Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
In the Properties list, query for and select the property associated with the product for which to set up a report header.
Click the link in the Property Name field.
Depending on the product for which you want to set up a report header, click one of the following view tabs:
Event Order/Menu Items
Menus
Packages
In the list of products, query for and select the product to associate with a report header.
In the Report Header field, click the select button, and select the report header.
If more than one value is available, you can select multiple values. The value in the Property field for the product determines the values that you can select in the Report Header field.
Setting Up Report Headers for Non-Property-Specific Products
Administrators can associate any global report header with the products that are not assigned to any property.
To set up a report header for a non-property-specific product
Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Products view.
In the Products list, query for and select the product to associate with a report header.
In the Report Header field, click the select button, and select the report header.
If more than one value is available, you can select multiple values. The value in the Property field for the product determines the values that you can select in the Report Header field.
Associating Logos with Hospitality Reports
Administrators can associate a logo with a property. When users generate a report for the property, the associated logo appears at the start of each page in the report.
This task is a step in Roadmap for Administering Hospitality Reports.
To associate a logo with a Banquet Event Order report
Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
In the Properties list, query for and select the property to associate with a logo.
In the Report Logo field, click the select button, select the appropriate URL in the Pick Report Logo dialog box, and click OK.
You can also add a new URL in the Pick Report Logo dialog box.
Setting Up Text for Taxes and Service Charges
Administrators can set up text that relates to taxes and service charges for a property. This text will appear on Banquet Event Order (BEO) reports. When a user generates a BEO report for the property, this text appears at the end of the report.
This task is a step in Roadmap for Administering Hospitality Reports.
To set up text for taxes and service charges
Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
In the Properties list, query for and select the property for which you want to set up text for taxes and service charges.
Drill down on the link in the Property Name field.
Click the Reporting Preferences view tab.
Enter text in the Tax and Service Charge Text field.
Configuring Fields for Hospitality Reports

Accounting Event Check Report
This topic describes the Accounting Event Check Report for Siebel Hospitality.
About the Accounting Event Check Report
An event check is an invoice for an event. An accounting event check is generated for the accounting department of the property that hosted the event. For more information about event checks, see Generating Event Checks.
Event managers create the Accounting Event Check report from information in the Event Check record that is used by the accounting department of the property. The report reflects the line item records listed on the Event Checks Screen, Line Items (Accounting) view, which are transformed into an accounting version. The Accounting Event Check report displays the billable line items separated by their allocations of revenue categories for accounting and accounting downstream systems.
Siebel Hospitality can display and print several event check report views, as follows:
Accounting View. This is the Accounting Event Check report. This report shows all line items broken down and categorized so all revenues can be tracked against the proper revenue buckets. This report is used internally and not shared with the guest, because every line item is broken down and guests rarely need this level of detail.
Guest View. This is the Guest Event Check report. This report shows the charges that are relevant to the guest. This report lists the customer charges for all applicable items. For more information about the guest view, see Guest Event Check Report.
Guest summary. This is the Pro Forma Event Check report. This report shows the charges that are relevant to the guest. This report lists the items for all event checks associated with a specific quote. For more information, see Pro Forma Event Check Report.
In other words, the Guest Event Check report shows the item charges associated with an event, while the Accounting Event Check report shows these items plus the line details that make up each one. For example, if a guest buys a package priced at 1000.00, then the Guest Event Check report shows a 1000.00 package. However, in the corresponding Accounting Event Check report, that 1000.00 is split among the components of the package.
If the Accounting Event Check report is for a package event check, then the report includes a Meeting Package section that displays the meeting package event check, then the report includes a Meeting Package section and an Accommodation section. The Meeting Package section displays the price of each meeting package as 0. In sections other than the Meeting Package section, if a line item is part of a meeting package, then the price of that line item is displayed.
The Accounting Event Check Report is available in views of the Event Checks screen.

Banquet Event Order Report
This topic describes the Banquet Event Order Report for Siebel Hospitality.
About the Banquet Event Order Report
A Banquet Event Order is a contractual agreement between the meeting professional and a hotel. This agreement expresses the objectives and details of one or more functions.
The Banquet Event Order (BEO) Report displays functions and subfunctions that take place for an event and shows the details of those functions and subfunctions. This report provides the operation execution team with detailed information about food, beverages, and setup requirements for all functions in an order. The BEO Report helps provide consistency in internal and external communications in the hotel industry. However, contractual terms and agreements might differ between properties.
The first section of a BEO Report provides administrative information about the property, the account, the customer contact, and event order details.
Event managers can generate and print a Banquet Event Order (BEO) Report before an event occurs.
The line items on the report appear according to the following rules:
Functions are listed by date and start time.
Function line items for a function are listed by service start time.
Menu line items appear before other function line items.
The report headers that administrators configure using the procedures in Configuring Headers for Hospitality Reports appear in the report if the report headers are associated with the line items or comments.
If a function agenda contains a parent function record that is used for detailing or a space hold (that is, if the Detail flag of a function record is selected), the parent record does not appear in the BEO Report. The BEO Report shows only the subfunctions and grandchild functions of a detailing record or space hold record. The detailing or space hold record is not an actual function; it is used only to hold space. For more information about detailing, see Detailing a Function. For more information about space holds, see About Space Holds.
The subfunctions and grandchild functions represent the actual functions and subfunctions, respectively. Report formatting and functionality for the subfunctions and grandchild functions is the same as if these were functions and subfunctions.
The Banquet Event Order Report is available in the Event Order views of the Orders screen.

About the Guest Event Check Report
An event check is an invoice for an event. A guest event check is generated for the customer for which the event was hosted. For more information about event checks, see Generating Event Checks.
During the Event Check process, event managers can create reports from information in the Event Check record. The Guest Event Check report reflects the line item records in the Event Checks Screen, Line Items (Guest) view, which are transformed into the customer version of the Event Checks Report used by the accounting department. The Guest Event Check report functions as a customer invoice that tracks billing information associated with an order.
The Guest Event Check Report displays the line items along with associated service charge and taxes. Event Managers, Operations teams, and Accounting teams print this report multiple times per shift or per day. Team members use this report as an invoice to present to the customer.
Siebel Hospitality can display and print several event check report views, as follows:
Guest view. This is the Guest Event Check report. This report shows the charges that are relevant to the guest. This report lists the customer charges for all applicable items.
Guest summary. This is the Pro Forma Event Check report. This report shows the charges that are relevant to the guest. This report lists the items for all event checks associated with a specific quote. For more information, see Pro Forma Event Check Report.
Accounting View. This is the Accounting Event Check report. This report shows all line items broken down and categorized so all revenues can be tracked against the proper revenue buckets. This report is used internally and not shared with the guest, because every line item is broken down and guests rarely need this level of detail. For more information, see Accounting Event Check Report.
In other words, the Guest Event Check report shows the item charges associated with an event, while the Accounting Event Check report shows these items plus the line details that make up each one. For example, if a guest buys a package priced at 1000.00, then the Guest Event Check report shows a 1000.00 package. However, in the corresponding Accounting Event Check report, that 1000.00 is split among the components of the package.
If the Guest Event Check report is for a package event check, then the report includes a Meeting Package section and an Accommodation section. The Meeting Package section displays the meeting package prices. In sections other than the Meeting Package section, if a line item is part of a meeting package, then the line item displays Included instead of a price. If all line items in a section are Included, then the Subtotal value for that section is 0. If all line items in a section are not Included, then the Subtotal value for that section is the sum of the itemized prices.
The Guest Event Check Report is available in views of the Event Checks screen.

Pro Forma Event Check Report
This topic describes the Pro Forma Event Check Report for Siebel Hospitality.
About the Pro Forma Event Check Report
An event check is an invoice for an event. A pro forma event check is a summarized invoice to a customer for all the event check items in a quote. A pro forma event check can include one or multiple event checks, but is associated with only one quote. For more information about event checks, see Generating Event Checks.
The Pro Forma Event Check Report is a summarized invoice of all the items of a quote that are on event checks. For example, if a quote has ten functions and only seven of those functions are on event checks, then only those seven functions appear in the Pro Forma Event Check Report for that quote. The Pro Forma Event Check Report displays all the billable line items on a quote that are on event checks, along with associated service charges and taxes. Event Managers, Operations teams, and Accounting teams can run this report multiple times during each shift on each business day.

Resume Report

About the Resume Report
A resume is a collection of all details for a single meeting or event. Each quote has a separate resume. The Resume Report captures and organizes the details of an event. The report includes sleeping room information; billing arrangements; and meeting requirements such as food, beverages, and audio-visual (AV) equipment. The Resume Report can include event details that have not been captured in the Siebel application, and that users must enter manually at the time the report is generated.
For complex groups (those requiring 75 or more sleeping rooms), the Resume Report is typically generated before the arrival of the group. You can run this report for the current date or for any future date. The Resume Report is distributed to all hotel departments and is usually shared with the meeting organizer.
The Resume Report is available in views of the Quotes screen.
