Required means the field is needed to complete or support this workflow. Some screens allow a draft to save before every required item is complete. The steps and troubleshooting call out controls the product actively blocks.

Hotel uses a dedicated cash-flow editor

The Room Inventory screen saves a hotel-specific unit-mix cash-flow structure. It does not offer the standard hotel pro-forma editor.

Enter and save room inventory

On a phone, select Edit room type to open all fields for that category in a full-width sheet. Done returns to the inventory; Continue retains the existing required-row checks and saves the inventory. RevPAR and revenue are calculated values, so correct their count, ADR or occupancy inputs instead of typing over totals.

Hotel inventory steps

  1. 1

    Set occupancy and growth

    Room Inventory summary controls

    Enter the current occupancy percentage and annual ADR growth assumption.

    Expected result: Weighted ADR, RevPAR, and projected revenue update.

    If this does not happen: If the values look wrong, confirm occupancy is a percentage and ADR is a daily amount.

  2. 2

    Review starter categories

    Room Inventory rows

    Rename, edit, or remove Standard, Deluxe, and Suite starter rows to match the source inventory.

    Expected result: Only relevant room categories remain.

    If this does not happen: Do not leave unused starter rows with positive counts or ADR.

  3. 3

    Enter every category

    Room Inventory rows

    For each room type, enter name, count, optional average SF, and ADR.

    Expected result: Each valid row displays calculated revenue.

    If this does not happen: Rows need a name, room count above zero, and ADR above zero to satisfy Continue.

  4. 4

    Reconcile the summary

    Room Inventory totals

    Compare total keys, weighted ADR, RevPAR, and annual room revenue with the source underwriting.

    Expected result: Displayed metrics reconcile or documented differences are understood.

    If this does not happen: Correct category counts, occupancy, or ADR one at a time to isolate the mismatch.

  5. 5

    Continue and persist rows

    Bottom of Room Inventory

    Select Continue after every required row is complete.

    Expected result: Hotel rows save and the wizard advances.

    If this does not happen: If nothing happens, inspect each row for a missing name, zero count, or zero ADR.

Resolve hotel inventory problems

Continue does not advance and no message appears

Likely cause: At least one row lacks a name, positive room count, or positive ADR.

  1. Inspect each row.
  2. Complete or remove invalid rows.
  3. Retry Continue.
Revenue is too high

Likely cause: ADR may have been entered as monthly revenue, occupancy may be overstated, or room counts may be duplicated.

  1. Confirm ADR is per occupied room per day.
  2. Confirm occupancy percent.
  3. Reconcile the sum of room counts.
Pro forma is not offered

Likely cause: The dedicated hotel inventory currently forces its cash-flow format.

  1. Use ADR Growth for the annual projection.
  2. Use the Income & Expenses and valuation steps for the remaining hotel analysis.

Hotel inventory complete

  • Total keys reconcile
  • Every category has positive ADR
  • Occupancy matches the analysis
  • RevPAR is reasonable
  • Annual room revenue reconciles
