Setting Up Housekeeping

 

The Housekeeping or Unit Clean Status module allows you to track the status of units in RMS, so that the property managers can keep track of units and whether they are occupied, dirty or clean.  RMS comes with default settings that allow you to get up and running with your Housekeeping module quickly and efficiently.  It is not required that all statuses be used in the Unit Clean Status. 

 

Comment Codes for Clean,Occupied, Dirty, Unavailable, Seasoned and Guest comment codes are stored in the Control File>Clean Status Inventory Information but also may be accessed from the Housekeeping menu, Control Information Icon.
