Guests In House Rate Check (giratecheck with INH5.FMX)

Note: When printing this Report help topic, we recommend printing with Landscape page orientation.

The Guests In House Rate Check Report displays a comparison of the Rate Amount being charged for a Reservation to the configured Rate Code Amount and then determines the Variance. The report output will display an alternating gray background for every other reservation in order to make the details of each reservation stand out.

The value for the ‘Rate Code Amt.’ is calculated based on the following:

Opera checks the reservation to see if there is a block code. If so, the rate code on the reservation is compared to the rate code on the block. If the rate code on the reservation matches the rate code on the block, then the rate amount displayed for the Rate Code Amount is the rate amount defined in Block Grid for that Day/room type/persons . Opera is looking at the block details, not the rate code of the block. If the rate code on the reservation does not match the rate code on the block, then the Rate Code Amount will display the rate amount used from the Rate Code Detail of the rate code used on the reservation for that day/room type/ persons/length of stay.
If the Reservation has a Rate Code than we use the Rate Code detail for that day/room type/persons/Length of Say.
If there is neither a Rate Code nor Block Code on the reservation the 'Rate Code Amt.' will be NULL and the variance will show 0.
Should the reservation have a rate code Opera will apply any additions or multiplications after calculating the rate in scenarios 1 or 2.
Should the reservation have a rate code and there is no addition or multiplication on the rate header , Opera checks whether there is a day type defined in the rate calendar. If so, Opera then uses additions and/or multipliers found for that day type to display the amount for the Rate Code Amount.
If the function MULTI_CURRENCY is active and the currencies on the Reservation and on the Block Header are different we will not show a variance but we will show the currency code of the Reservation next to the 'Rate Code Amt.' column.

For example, the guest Daniel Watkins is with the block PLH06 and the block's rate code is 4YYYVO which matches the rate code on the individual's reservation. Therefore, the rate amount displayed for the Rate Code Amount in the giratecheck report is the amount defined in the Block details, or $2058.00, which is the block's 2 Adult and 4 children rate corresponding with the arrival date of March 28, 2006 for 7 nights for room type BV2.
