This article describes the Occupancy Report grouped by Category, which is the default view of the report and shows occupancy and Operational Revenue figures for each Category in a property.

Overview

The Occupancy Report grouped by Category shows one row per Category with occupancy and Operational Revenue figures rolled up for the selected date range. This is the default Occupancy By selection on the report. Each row can be expanded to view the individual reservations contributing to that row's figures.

For the full description of the report, the report options panel, the Data Sources & Calculations that govern shared columns, and how the Operational Revenue model differs from Financial Revenue, see the main Occupancy Report article.

Use Cases

• Category mix comparison - Operations runs the report for a month to compare utilisation across category types (for example, Cabins vs Event Spaces vs Campground sites), where the Period column will switch between Days and Hours depending on whether the Category is charged by hour.
• Revenue by accommodation type - the Revenue Manager runs the report to see how each Category contributes to Gross and Nett Revenue, Discount, and Taxes for the period.
• End-of-month performance review - the General Manager runs the report at month-end to see RevPAR and Occ % per Category and identify which Categories need a pricing or marketing adjustment.

How to Access

In the side menu of RMS, go to Reports > Management > Statistics > Occupancy. On the Report Options panel set Occupancy By to Category (this is the default). Select Build.
