Numbering

Each revenue account in SIHOT is identified an eight-digit number. The assembly of these numbers follows a strict pattern which is partly specified by SIHOT and party following client-specific specifications.

NOTE:
Do take utmost care when developing the pattern of revenue accounts, as later changes to revenue account numbers will be difficult to handle.

Each position within the number has a specific function:

Position

Function

1. position         - XYYY.YYYYY

Marks the main-group.

2.-4. position    - YXXX.YYYYY

Mark the sub-groups.

5.-8. position    - YYYY.XXXX

Mark the revenue accounts.

The main- and sub-groups are highly relevant for revenue statistics. The main-groups (defined by the first digit) always stand for particular areas within the hotel. The numbers used in this space are assigned as follows:

The numbers 7, 8 and 9 usually define hotel-specific revenue accounts and can be assigned as required. However, in order to note this change throughout all reports etc., the account classes must be adjusted as well. This is done by setting the registry-entries under type of account [1622] accordingly.

Sub-groups should be used differentiate individual F&B Outlets. For example:
