Get Out of Order Rooms Excluded from the Occupancy Rate (Cloud)
This feature is only available on VM Cloud.
The Occupancy rate indicates the percentage of rooms that are currently occupied. This is calculated by dividing the total number of occupied rooms, including Out of Order (OOO) rooms, by the total inventory of rooms. Since Out of Order rooms do not generate revenue, they can impact the Average Daily Rate (ADR). Excluding Out of Order rooms from the occupancy rate on the dashboard provides a more precise figure that reflects the actual available rooms for sale.
Path: Management > Property Settings > Parameters > Section "Parameters" (right side)

1. Check the box "DashBoard Occ W/O OOO" as shown on the screenshot below.
2. Click the green floppy disk at the top right to save the page modification.
Understand the purpuse of the feature
Before the feature is enabled
In this first example, the OOO rooms are counted in the Occupancy Rate.
In this example, they have 69 rooms in the hotel. 43 of the rooms are sold, and 9 rooms OOO which are counted as Occupied, the Occupancy Rate is 62%.
After the feature is enabled
Now that all the OOO rooms are not counted anymore as rooms occupied, the OCC % will be lower, but closer to reality.
The feature will not only apply on the dashboard but also on activity reports like the Daily Report.
If some rooms are not to be counted in the occupancy rate, they can be attached to a specific room type that would not be "included in occupancy".
