The "Display per unit" checkbox in the Percent block changes how percentages are calculated and shown. Instead of calculating percentages based on total values, it shows them relative to each operational unit — like per room night, guest, or cover. Use "Display per unit" if you want to: Break down a percentage cost by unit (e.g., linen cost per room or food cost per cover) Compare costs...
In PMI’s Planning module, the “Factor” option allows you to automatically multiply values from other lines — instead of entering a fixed value or percentage manually. It’s perfect for calculating costs or figures tied to volume or activity levels. Example 1: Laundry Cost per Guest Night Let’s say you want to calculate laundry cost in the P&L, and you know your hotel spends $2 per guest...

Only sub-accounts can be added manually within PMI. If you’re trying to add a completely new account (i.e., not under an existing account), this must be done using the Excel upload template. To Add a Sub-Account (no file needed): You can add a sub-account in Planning → Profit & Loss → Accounts: Switch to Edit View (gear icon top-right must be active).

In the Planning Module Settings, each chain or property can define an Actual Date Delay Offset. This determines how many days PMI waits after month-end before switching from “Live Forecast” to “Actuals” in the P&L view. Example scenario: For a chain/property, Actual Date Delay Offset is set to 7 (could be any number like 2,3 or 5 etc.). If the “Use HQ Actual Delay Offset” box is checked,...

To maintain accurate reporting and data consistency across PMI modules, validate data at the point of entry—not in the reporting tools. Daily Checks – Validate at the Source: Labor Hours → Confirm yesterday’s hours are saved and correct in the Timesheet cockpit. Revenue → Cross-check revenue figures in the Flash Report or Mapping, where revenue is imported and categorized. OTB Forecast →...
Benchmarking reports do not pull data directly from schedules or timesheets, but rely on the saved data in each department’s cockpit. If hours are re-allocated from one department to another, or shared across multiple properties, head-office users should follow these steps to ensure the accuracy: ✅ Step 1: Validate Hours in the Original Cockpit Open the cockpit for each property and check the...
If a department has no historical data, PMI cannot use its SMART algorithms, which rely on past patterns to suggest efficient staffing levels. Instead, PMI falls back on cost driver logic as the primary basis for scheduling guidance: Here’s how it works: Cost Driver-Based Scheduling: The system uses a linked cost driver (e.g., room nights, covers, revenue) to estimate required hours. This...
The Timesheet report doesn’t flag issues directly, but there are a few on-screen cues that can help you identify if something’s off — particularly when viewing last-year hours. Visual Cues & Hover Tooltips Hover over a cell in the Months or Year view: A tooltip popup will appear showing the breakdown, including last-year hours (if available). If the tooltip is missing data or shows...
