The Occupancy report is an averaging projection report which estimates performance based on availability. It provides a detailed monthly or yearly overview of your item or product availability, number of bookings, unbooked availability, average occupancy, and a few data points related to average revenue and actual revenue. All this on a per-item or product basis. We'll look at each of these data fields in more detail further down the page.

 

The Occupancy report retrieves data for items or products using the Day or Night allocation types only. Items with Unlimited Inventory or an Hourly Allocation are not included in this report.

 

The Occupancy report does not track whether a booking has actually been paid and should not be used for accounting purposes. The revenue is averaged to create a projection over future dates and does not reflect collected amounts.  The report is most useful for looking at future dates rather than historical records, as it is based on currently accessible data (events and item/product configuration).
