Pricepoint's UI and reports show the net accommodation value of your bookings — not the grand total, which would also include taxes, fees, and other services.
Why does Pricepoint use net accommodation instead of the grand total?
As a Revenue Management System, Pricepoint is focused on what the room itself actually sold for — not on taxes, fees, or other services added to a booking. Net accommodation reflects the real room revenue that pricing decisions are based on, which is why it's the figure shown in Pricepoint rather than the full booking total.
What's included in Pricepoint's accommodation revenue?
Pricepoint only takes into account the room rate total — extras like additional room charges or separately itemized fees (e.g., City Tax, if charged separately) are excluded.
Whether tax is included depends on how your PMS handles it:
Inclusive tax: if tax is built into the daily rate, Pricepoint has no way to separate it out — the rate it receives already has tax baked in, so it's included in Pricepoint's revenue figures by default.
Exclusive tax: if tax is itemized separately in your PMS, Pricepoint can identify and exclude it, since it's clearly marked as a distinct charge rather than part of the rate itself.
Example:
Suppose a booking's grand total is $695.55, made up of a $500.14 room rate plus $150 in exclusive tax and $45.41 in extras/fees.
If tax is exclusive (itemized separately in your PMS): Pricepoint identifies and excludes both the tax and the extras, showing $500.14 as the Booking Accommodation Total.
If tax is inclusive (built into the daily rate): Pricepoint can't separate the tax from the rate, so it would show $650.14 ($500.14 room rate + $150 tax) as the Booking Accommodation Total — extras are still excluded, since those are always itemized separately regardless of tax setup.
