CapEx Introduction

In this article, you will learn about the basic features of the CapEx app.

The CapEx app is used to request and approve expenditures at the hotel including repairs, replacements, and other purchases.

Setting Up Your Flow

Before you can use the CapEx app, you will need to establish a flow for how a CapEx will progress or escalate. For example, if a chief engineer requests a repair for a refrigerator in a guestroom, the next step may be for a GM to approve that expense. From there, it may escalate to the property manager, and so forth.

When setting up your flow, it is helpful to consider the following questions:

  • Who should be able to submit a CapEx request?

  • Who should be able to approve an expense? Up to what amount?

When you have determined your company’s flow, have an above property manager contact our support team at (877) 974-9774 or support@quore.com. We will then set up the flow for you.

After the flow has been entered by the Quore team, you will see it on the right side of your screen when you view a CapEx entry.

To access the CapEx app, log in to the desktop version of Quore, then click the App Switcher in the upper right corner. Scroll down and click on the CapEx app to open it.

Overview

This is the first page you will see after opening the CapEx app. Here you can view a variety of information at glance including budget actuals by month and year, emergency capital actuals, which requests are Waiting and Pending, Approved, how many emergency, budgeted, and future requests there are, how many revisions needed, how many actions are waiting to be started, and how many actions are in progress.

You will only be able to view those requests for which you are part of the flow, meaning ones that have been submitted to or by you.

Pending

Click on the Pending page button to see all pending requests. Use the Filter Requests button to refine your results. Click into a CapEx request to see more details.

Approved

Click the Approved page button to see those requests which have been approved. Use the Filter Requests button to refine your results. The requests on this page are sorted into three tiers: Work Not Started, Work In-Progress, and Completed-Pending. Click into any line item to view details.
