The following will outline information regarding day use rooms:

We are introducing a new functionality for day-use bookings, defined as those where the check-in date coincides with the checkout date. If this new setting is enabled these bookings will be counted towards the occupancy but will have the revenue recorded. Therefore, each day use booking will feature a rate with revenue attributed to it, always designated as "Last day". There will also be an indicator on the specific reservation record to understand how the stay and revenue were recorded.

Implementation will be available for SFTP and HTNG Inbound integrations. Please reach out to the SHR team if you would like to learn more or enable this setting.
