Room Inventory, Housekeeping Status & Tariff Management

Physical room configuration, housekeeping status transitions (Clean, Dirty, Inspected, Out-of-Order), room types, and dynamic weekday vs weekend pricing rules.

Room Types & Physical Inventory#

Hotels structure accommodation across hierarchical categories managed through hotel.room.type and hotel.room.

Room Configuration Hierarchy#

    class HotelProperty {
        +Char name
        +Many2one company_id
        +Char address
    }
    class HotelRoomType {
        +Char name
        +Float base_rate

        +Integer max_children
        +One2many room_ids

        +Char floor
        +Selection state

        +Many2one property_id
    }
    HotelProperty "1" *-- "many" HotelRoom
    HotelRoomType "1" *-- "many" HotelRoom

hotel.room.type: Master room categories (e.g., Standard Single, Deluxe King, Executive Suite, Presidential Villa). Defines default bed configurations and base rack rates.
hotel.room: Individual physical inventory units (e.g., Room 204, Room 312).

Housekeeping Status Lifecycle#

Front desk and housekeeping teams share real-time visual room state synchronization via color-coded kanban and grid boards:

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Clean: Initial Setup
    Clean --> Occupied: Guest Check-In
    Occupied --> Dirty: Daily Departure / Check-Out
    Dirty --> Cleaned: Housekeeping Attendant Finishes
    Cleaned --> Inspected: Floor Supervisor Approval
    Inspected --> Available: Ready for New Arrival
    Occupied --> Maintenance: Maintenance Issue Reported
    Maintenance --> Cleaned: Maintenance Cleared

Room State	Color Indicator	Front Desk Booking Availability
Clean / Inspected	Green	Available for immediate guest check-in.
Occupied	Blue	Guest currently in-house.
Dirty	Red	Vacated; pending linen change and sanitization.
Out-of-Order (OOO)	Grey	Blocked for repairs, plumbing, or painting.

Dynamic Tariffs & Weekday Rates#

Hotels operate under distinct pricing schedules between business workdays and weekend leisure stays. SmartERP handles this via hotel.weekday.rate:

Weekday Rates (Mon–Thu): Optimized for corporate and diplomatic business travelers.
Weekend Rates (Fri–Sun): Packaged for leisure weekenders, weddings, and domestic getaways.
Seasonal Surcharges: Automatic uplift during high-occupancy Ethiopian holiday seasons (e.g., Meskel, Timkat, Enkutatash, and African Union Summits).
