If some rooms are temporarily closed due to renovation, you can adjust your forecasts in PMI to ensure productivity and cost-driver metrics remain accurate.

1. Adjust Cost Drivers in the Forecast: To reflect reduced room availability:

  • Go to the Revenue forecast view (under Live Forecast)
  • Select the affected period (e.g. renovation month)
  • In the Room nights or Available rooms field, enter the reduced number of rooms for the affected dates
  • Save your changes

These changes will immediately update your Live forecast and influence related cost drivers in labor cockpits.

2. Resubmit the Forecast

After adjusting room counts:

  • Click Submit in the Forecast view
  • This ensures that the adjusted forecast becomes the basis for calculations in Cockpits and P&L

3. Check SMART Hours

If SMART scheduling is used:

  • Navigate to the Labor cockpit
  • Verify that SMART hours have adapted to the new room volumes
  • Use Sense check or the visual graph to confirm no unrealistic spikes or dips remain
