Enter Actual KBIs enter actual data for Input, Revenue Center, and Rooms KBIs.

Actual Input KBIs

Actual Input KBIs refer to actual covers for those KBIs that are manually forecasted. You created these KBIs during the configuration process. Input KBIs are non-statistical because LMS does not use historical data to forecast them. The actual data you enter for input KBIs is used by the system to develop historical data statistics. These statistics are not forecasted but may be used to forecast other KBIs.

This task must be performed if you plan to generate and use the following daily reports:

  • Daily Operating Report
  • Hours Variance Analysis
  • Daily Payroll Summary

Actual Revenue Center KBIs

Actual Revenue centers represent the actual cover count or dollar amount for a revenue center on a given day.

This task must be performed if you plan to generate and use the following daily reports:

  • Daily Operating Report
  • Daily Hours Variance Analysis
  • Daily Payroll Summary

Actual Rooms KBIs

Actual Rooms consist of three statistics: rooms, guests, and arrivals. These statistics refer to the total number of occupied rooms, in-house guests, and arrivals, in a given market segment on a given day. This information is saved as historical data and used to generate Standard Hours and produce future forecasts.

This task must be performed if you plan to generate and use the following daily reports:

  • Daily Operating Report
