Specifying Sleeping Room Rates for an Opportunity

When you create an opportunity, one of the fields that you must complete is the Opportunity Segment field. This field is important for determining the sleeping room costs to be applied to the opportunity. In this field, you can specify that the opportunity is part of the government segment. If you do this, government rates are applied to the sleeping room. If you do not specify a government rate, then ordinary sleeping room rates are applied to the sleeping rooms for the opportunity.

Note: By default, the government rate cannot be offered to a group unless the government rate is open for every day that the group is resident at the property. That is, if the government rate is not available for a single day of the room block, then the whole room block cannot be offered at the government rate regardless of the segment with which the opportunity is associated. Your company might follow a different process according to its business requirements.

To specify the sleeping room rates for an opportunity

1. Navigate to the Opportunities screen, then the List view.

2. In the Opportunities list, query for and select the required opportunity.

3. Click the Show More button on the opportunity form.

4. Scroll down to the Classification Information section of the form, and in the Opportunity Segment Field, do one of the following:

   • To apply government sleeping room rates to the sleeping rooms for the opportunity, select Federal Government, Government Contractor, International Government, Local Government, or State Government.

   • To apply regular sleeping room rates to the sleeping rooms for the opportunity, select any option other than Federal Government, Government Contractor, International Government, Local Government, or State Government.

   The appropriate government rate is applied to the sleeping rooms associated with the opportunity.
