The current pace report breaks once the look back period is over 1 year. The ability to compare current on-the-books rooms and revenue for a future stay period against the same-time-last-year on-the-books position is a standard hotel reporting need. It is used for forecasting, pricing decisions, sales strategy, budgeting, ownership reporting, and day-to-day revenue management.

The challenge is that, without historical OTB snapshot logic or a reliable way to recreate it in BI, we cannot accurately answer a very basic question:

“What did we have on the books for this same future period at this same point last year?”

That creates a major gap. Pickup activity by creation date is useful, but it is not the same thing as pace reporting. If Pickup STLY should not be interpreted as true STLY on-the-books pace, then the report name/fields are also potentially misleading for users trying to make revenue decisions from the data.
