Configuring Rooms Inventory
As it is likely that your property has a variety of rooms that range in size, bedding, exposure and amenities, OPERA Cloud enables you to classify these rooms into different room types. Pricing schedules are then defined for each room type and room type availability is maintained.
There are two varieties of room types in OPERA Cloud
-
Physical - Inventory room types tracked in availability; rooms configured for these room types count towards the Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Service, Property Management Foundation subscription.
-
Pseudo - Non-inventory room types not tracked in availability; rooms configured for these room types do not count towards the OPERA Cloud subscription. The "PM" pseudo room type is preconfigured on provisioning of OPERA Cloud; other pseudo room types, such as "HOUSE', 'PERMNT' or 'INTRFACE' , can be configured to suit your needs.
When the Component Rooms OPERA Control is active you can also configure virtual room types which are also tracked in availability as an inventory room type. A component room consists of multiple inter-connecting rooms (one or more room types) that define the component room type. A pricing schedule can be set and a reservation can be made for a component room type. When a reservation is made for a component room type, OPERA Cloud deducts one room from the component room type, as well as one room from each of the physical room types that make up the component room type. When the Component Verification OPERA Control is active OPERA Cloud tracks availability of the component room type at a room "number" level; meaning once a room making up a component room type is assigned to a reservation the room type is deducted from inventory.
Note:
Component rooms do not count towards the Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Service, Property Management Foundation subscription.When the Room Class OPERA Control is active all room types (including pseudo) are linked to a room class. Operational , forecast and statistical reports can be filtered by room class. For more information, see Configuring Room Classes.
Once all inventory and pseudo room types are configured, you can configure the individual rooms. The Room value is alphanumeric and not necessary a room "number"; for example you could have APT1 for Apartment 1 or SUI3 for Suite 3.
You can also setup inventory rooms to be available as function
/ meeting spaces for catering events.
When the Room Rotation OPERA Control is active, you can configure rooms as Owner Rooms, allowing you to create Ownership Records linking a room to a profile, identifying the owner of the room. Additionally, when the Owner Room Grade OPERA Control is active, you can assign a grade to an owner room, which will aid the rotation of rooms in Room Assignment.
