eSTATISTIK.core Export
Overview

How the Data Is Calculated
Bed Capacity
The export calculates available beds based on:
Room Types
Bed counts configured on room types. If bed capacity is not configured default bed count 2 will be used.
Room availability on the last day of the reporting period
Virtual room types are excluded.
Arrivals
Arrivals are calculated from bookings arriving during the selected reporting period.
Each registered guest is counted individually.
Example:
A booking arriving on April 10 with 3 guests contributes:
AnkuenfteGesamt = 3
Overnight Stays
Overnight stays are calculated based on the actual nights that fall within the selected reporting period.
Example:
- Booking - Arrival: 30.03.2026 - Departure: 03.04.2026
- Reporting period: 01.04.2026 – 30.04.2026
- Counted nights: 01.04, 02.04
Result:
UebernachtungenGesamt = 2
Country of Residence
Guests are grouped according to the country configured on their guest profile in Clock PMS.
If no country is available, the guest is reported as:
WohnsitzLand = 90 (Unknown / Not Specified)
