Question 1
What is the correct chronological order of the 5-step Transient revenue management process in
One Yield V2?
A) Supply, Demand, Rates, Hurdle, Inventory
B) Demand, Supply, Rates, Hurdle, Inventory
C) Rates, Demand, Supply, Inventory, Hurdle
D) Demand, Rates, Supply, Hurdle, Inventory
E) Supply, Rates, Hurdle, Demand, Inventory
Correct Answer: B) Demand, Supply, Rates, Hurdle, Inventory
Rationale: The One Yield V2 system follows a specific logical flow: first forecasting
unconstrained demand, evaluating available supply, determining optimal rates, setting
hurdles to filter demand, and finally managing inventory authorizations.
Question 2
Which four sections are consistently found on the ADVisor screens within the system?
A) Alerts, History, Future Projections, Final Actions
B) Market Code, Room Pool, Sell Status, Inventory
C) Priority dates, Calendar, Key metrics, Actions
D) Revenue Planning, MARSHA, HPP, RPO
E) Group Projections, Allotments, Cancellations, Out of Order
Correct Answer: C) Priority dates, calendar, key metrics, actions
Rationale: Each ADVisor screen is designed to provide the user with specific dates needing
attention (Priority), a visual time-frame (Calendar), data performance (Key Metrics), and
the ability to implement changes (Actions).
Question 3
How are Active Alerts indicated in One Yield V2, and what do they signify?
A) A red square indicating a price mismatch
B) A green checkmark indicating successful implementation
C) An orange circle indicating a system processing failure
D) A blue triangle indicating a change in competitor rates
E) A flashing yellow bar indicating manual intervention is required
Correct Answer: C) Indicated by an orange circle under the step of the Revenue
management process affected; indicates a system processing failure.
Rationale: Active Alerts are system-generated warnings that notify the user when a specific
step in the five-step optimization process has encountered a processing error.
Question 4
When are Priority Dates initially generated by the system?
A) Every hour on the hour
, 2
B) Only when the user manually clicks "Refresh"
C) Upon the first optimization of the day
D) Every Sunday at midnight
E) Only when a competitor changes their retail rate
Correct Answer: C) generated upon the first optimization of the day.
Rationale: The system identifies priority dates during the overnight/first daily optimization.
However, dates for Rates and Inventory may update throughout the day during intraday
optimizations.
Question 5
What is the primary purpose of "Room Collections"?
A) To count the number of physical rooms in the building
B) To group MARSHA room pools with similar booking windows and demand patterns
C) To identify which rooms need cleaning by housekeeping
D) To separate smoking rooms from non-smoking rooms
E) To calculate the laundry cost per occupied room
Correct Answer: B) groupings of MARSHA room pools that have similar booking windows
and demand patterns.
Rationale: Room Collections allow revenue managers to manage demand and pricing for
clusters of rooms that behave similarly in the market, rather than managing every single
room pool individually.
Question 6
Which of the following is true regarding the assignment of room pools to room collections?
A) All existing room pools must be assigned to exactly one room collection
B) A room pool can remain unassigned if it is rarely used
C) A room pool can be assigned to multiple room collections simultaneously
D) Room collections are only required for full-service hotels
E) Only "Standard" room pools need to be assigned to collections
Correct Answer: A) all existing room pools must be assigned to a room collection
Rationale: To ensure accurate forecasting and optimization across the entire hotel, One
Yield V2 requires every MARSHA room pool to be mapped to a collection.
Question 7
A single room pool can be assigned to how many different room collections?
A) One
B) Two
C) Three
D) Unlimited
E) It depends on the hotel's brand
Correct Answer: A) False (Referring to the statement: A room pool can be assigned to more than
, 3
one collection)
Rationale: A room pool can only be assigned to one room collection to prevent double-
counting of demand and supply in the system logic.
Question 8
On which specific screens are Room Collections utilized within One Yield V2?
A) Demand, Supply, and Rates
B) Rates, Hurdle, and Inventory
C) Demand, Rates, and Hurdle
D) Supply, Hurdle, and Inventory
E) Action Advisor and Key Metrics
Correct Answer: C) demand, rates, and hurdle
Rationale: Room Collections are the basis for analyzing demand patterns, recommending
retail prices, and calculating the hurdle revenue needed to filter that demand.
Question 9
What metrics are included in the "Key Metrics" section of the Demand Advisor?
A) Net Rate, ADR, and RevPAR
B) OOO rooms, Allotments, and Cancellations
C) Applied remaining demand vs. system remaining demand stly, total transient demand vs. stly,
transient booked vs. stly
D) Retail recommendations vs. competitor rates
E) Number of clicks, time on screen, and user ID
Correct Answer: C) Applied remaining demand vs. system remaining demand stly, total
transient demand vs. stly, transient booked vs. stly
Rationale: These metrics allow the user to compare current performance and forecasts
against "Same Time Last Year" (STLY) data to identify trends.
Question 10
The unconstrained transient demand forecast considers how many years of historical data?
A) 1 year
B) 2 years
C) 3 years
D) 5 years
E) 10 years
Correct Answer: C) 3 years
Rationale: One Yield V2 looks back at 3 years of historical data to establish baseline
demand patterns and seasonality for its unconstrained forecast.
Question 11
In which situation would a revenue manager most likely perform a manual "override" in the
, 4
Demand step?
A) When the system recommended rate is too low
B) When an out of the ordinary situation is anticipated and One Yield has not yet recognized it
C) When the hotel is 100% occupied
D) When a competitor closes for renovations
E) When the user wants to change the room collection assignments
Correct Answer: B) An out of the ordinary situation is anticipated and one yield has not yet
recognized it.
Rationale: Overrides are used to input human intelligence about local events, holidays, or
market shifts that the historical-data-based system hasn't processed yet.
Question 12
After entering a demand override, what is the correct sequence of buttons to click?
A) Implement then Save
B) Save first, then Implement (if no other changes are needed)
C) Refresh then Implement
D) Implement then Lock
E) Save then Refresh
Correct Answer: B) Save first then if there are no other changes to be made to the other
ADVisor screens click implement.
Rationale: Saving commits the change to the specific screen; Implementing sends all
cumulative changes to the external systems (MARSHA/HPP).
Question 13
The Unconstrained Transient Demand Forecast is described as being:
A) Rate Inelastic
B) Rate Elastic
C) Fixed
D) Manually driven only
E) Supply dependent
Correct Answer: B) Elastic
Rationale: The forecast is "rate elastic," meaning One Yield understands that changes in
the retail rate will influence the amount of demand expected for that date.
Question 14
True or False: If a user implements a retail rate other than the one recommended by the system,
One Yield will adjust the remaining transient demand forecast accordingly.
A) True
B) False
Correct Answer: A) True
