Example of a Threshold Calculation with Applied Rules
This example explains the threshold calculation that occurs when three functions take place in the same function space called FSC 1. The following table shows the functions and time intervals.
| Function Name | Function Type | Start Time | End Time | Function Space |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Function 1 |
Meeting |
5:00 A.M. |
11:59 A.M. |
FSC 1 |
Function 2 |
Lunch |
12:10 P.M. |
1:00 P.M. |
FSC 1 |
Function 3 |
Reception |
3:00 P.M. |
11:00 P.M. |
FSC 1 |
To calculate the required threshold for each function, Siebel Hospitality determines the number of day parts the function covers. The day part is included even if the function only uses a few minutes of the day part.
Siebel Hospitality then determines the threshold associated with each of the day parts listed for the function. The following table shows how day parts are set up for the property.
| Day Part Name | Start Time of Day Part | End Time of Day Part |
|---|---|---|
Overnight |
12:00 A.M. |
6:00 A.M. |
Morning |
6:00 A.M. |
9:00 A.M. |
Afternoon |
9:00 A.M. |
12:00 P.M. |
Lunch |
12:00 P.M. |
2:00 P.M. |
Evening |
2:00 P.M. |
6:00 P.M. |
Night |
6:00 P.M. |
12:00 P.M. |
The following table shows the thresholds that are in effect. The assumption is that function space category (FSC) 1 and 2 have the same threshold amount.
| Day Part | Function Space | Threshold |
|---|---|---|
Overnight |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
100 |
Morning |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
200 |
Afternoon |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
500 |
Lunch |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
300 |
Evening |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
800 |
Night |
FSC 1, FSC 2 |
800 |
The following table shows how the required threshold calculation occurs, assuming the turntimes are zero.
| Function Space | Function | Day Part Touched | Threshold for Function Day Part | Threshold Sum for Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
FSC 1 |
F1 |
Overnight, Morning, Afternoon |
100 plus 200 plus 500 |
800 |
FSC 1 |
F2 |
Lunch |
300 |
300 |
FSC 1 |
F3 |
Evening, Night |
800 plus 800 |
1600 |
Required Threshold |
Not applicable |

Not applicable |
2700 |
As can be seen from the preceding table, the thresholds are calculated as follows:
Threshold Sum for Function equals Sum of the Thresholds for Function Day Parts
Required Threshold equals Sum of the Threshold Sum for Function
The following exceptions can be applied when the required threshold is calculated:
If two functions (from the same quote) exist within the same day part for the same function space, then the day part is only counted once.
If a customer requests that two functions be booked within the same day part for different specific spaces, then the threshold is counted for each separate room.
If two functions belong to different categories, and both categories share the same component indivisible space as well as a day part, then only the threshold of the larger category is counted.
