CDSS Booking Export

Use the CRS Decision Support System (CDSS) Booking Export to create booking detail extract files based on arrivals, departures or transactions. After the extract is created, it is transferred via an FTP program to the location your property specified. A copy of the extract file is moved into the CDSS archive directory and retained for a configurable period before being purged by System Administration.

Three types of Booking Detail Extract output formats are supported:

To run a booking detail extract:

  1. Select the type of extract from the Extract Type drop-down list.

  2. Select the level of address detail from the Address Detail drop-down list.

  1. Select a report time period. If Date Range is selected, you will be provided with fields to enter the desired dates or use the calendar icon to select the run dates from a drop-down calendar.

Note:  The default schedule for transaction and arrival based extracts is monthly. The capture period starting date defaults to the first day of the preceding month and the end date defaults to the last day of the preceding month.

  1. (Optional) If you want to exclude a specific chain from the report, select the chain from the Exclude Chain Filter drop-down list. The default is ALL chains will be included.

  2. Select the Guest Detail checkbox to include guest information in the extract.

  3. Select the Rate Records checkbox to include rate information in the extract.

  4. Select the Headers checkbox to include headers in the report.

  6. If you want the report to be recurring (run every Day, Week or Month), select the interval from the Run Report Every drop-down list.

  7. From the Date Persist drop-down, select one of the following:

  1. Click the Generate Export button to create the booking detail extract.

The Request Submitted screen appears.

  1. Click the Return to Export Screen link to see the status of your extract.
