Configuring Vacant Room Status Update Rules

Prerequisites for Configuring Vacant Room Status Update Rules

When the Update Vacant Room Status OPERA Control is set to Custom, you can configure rules for the Updating Room Statuses end of day procedure to process and update rooms of select room type(s), vacant for a specified number of days, to a nominated housekeeping status. For example, you can configure rules to update vacant rooms to pickup status after 14 days; ensuring the vacant room is scheduled for a housekeeping task (for dusting and "running the taps" in the room).

Note:

The HK_RM_STATUS_CHANGED changes log action type tracks all changes to room status processed by the Updating Room Statuses end of day procedure.
