How does 'Hotel Rules' impact the Unit Occupancy Report?

The Unit Occupancy Report is always displaying details based on the Room Assignment and Unassignment dates.

Here are the basic differences in the report you will see when Hotel Rules is on or off:

• With Hotel Rules on, the data shown on reports will always be the same as the Financial Move-Out Date, but this is because Hotel Rules dictates that the Financial Move-Out Date is tied to the Room Unassignment Date.
• With Hotel Rules off, the Financial Move-Out Date and Room Unassignment dates can be separate.

Here are more details about the report when Hotel Rules is on:

• The Move Out columns (labeled "-") will indicate move outs ("-1") on the day of a resident's Financial Move Out Date. This date displays in the Move Out Information section at the top of their Moved Out profile.
• The Res Days at the tops of the tables will calculate occupancy until the day of a resident's room Financial Move Out Date.
• In the tables at the bottom of the report, the Move Outs table will display the Financial Move Out date as the the date reflected on the Moved Out resident's profile. Keep in mind that this is the day after the Financial Move Out date that was selected in the Move Out pane.

Example:

Resident Michael Smith is moving out and is financially responsible for rent until 3/28.

In ALIS, you completed the Move Out pane on his profile and set the Financial Move Out Date to 3/28.

• Without Hotel Rules, Unit Occupancy tables will display the date of the room unassignment, which matches the Financial Move Out Date selected when you moved out the resident (unless it is later changed). Michael Smith's move out is represented by "-1" on 3/28 on Unit Occupancy.
• With Hotel Rules enabled, the Financial Move Out Date is automatically switched to the date after the date you selected in the Move Out pane.  Michael Smith's move out is represented by "-1" on 3/29 on Unit Occupancy.
