Why does the Room nights total in the Cockpit differ from the rooms Live forecast?

Common Cause:
In most cases, the discrepancy is due to how the Cost Driver (Room Nights) is configured in the Cockpit.

  • The Cockpit might be using Room Nights from the previous day as a cost driver.
  • The Rooms Live Forecast typically shows Room Nights for the same day.

This mismatch leads to differing totals, even if the forecast source and timing are aligned.

What to Do:

  • Open the Cost Driver settings in the Cockpit.
  • Check whether Room Nights are based on:
    • Previous day
    • Same day
    • Or another custom setting
  • Align this with what you see in the Rooms Live Forecast for a fair comparison.

If everything else matches (forecast type, manual edits, import timing), this is the key area to check
