Automatically close bills once balanced to allow pushing to integrated accounting software
It would be useful if Mews could automatically close a bill once it is balanced. This would mean the bill is pushed to integrated accounting software (e.g. Xero) at the time of payment being received, so that accounts can be easily reconciled. Currently, a booking could be made in Mews for several months in the future and payment taken at the time of booking, however the bill will not be closed and then pushed to the integrated accounting software until they check out (or it is done manually). This means accounts cannot be easily reconciled without extra work.
It would be great if Mews could close the bill (say, when the exact amount outstanding is received), then open a new bill for any additional items that might be added during / before the stay.

Similarly when payments are automated through Mews, these go into the 'unpaid' section of the guest's bill. This means that when you try to check the guest out, the bill won't automatically balance as the payment is not in the 'open bill' section. Automating payments should reduce employee workload, not increase it.
