How to handle temporary room closures (due to renovation) in PMI

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
