Add Elements on the reservation screen with dates
Hello,
I love using your system it's really simple and effective.Just one suggestion maybe: when we had elements on a reservation (breakfast, city tax, half board etc...) it would be nice to have an option to select the dates we want them to be charged. At the moment, it charges them automatically for the all stay and we have to cancel the lines we don't need one by one (for example for a customer that stays 5 nights but wants breakfast only one day).
Best regards.

Tax Setup (Legal Environment) by Property Administrator
Allow each property to setup and modify their own taxes rather than have Mews hard code these taxes into the system. US taxes are complicated with local, city, county, state, TBID, tourism and other taxes that change independently from each other. This aligns with channel manager setups. Additionally, have the ability to create tax periods for all taxes i.e. start date, end date so that the system can properly tax reservations that cross a tax period change. Have the liability sit with the property administrator who receives notification of future changes and should be held responsible for these changes. This…

Automated payment request
In order to reduce the Check In Queue, we would like to give our customers the opportunity to pay their pending City Tax and additional costs in advance.
We figured sending an automatic payment request link 2 days in advance would be a good solution for that, but as is, there's no possibility to send out requests in bulk, nor automatically.
Another issue might be that reservations using Virtual Cards would still have the entire amount outstanding, so it would need to be able to recognize that.

Easier setup of rebate accounting category for hard-coded city tax
At the moment it is difficult to set up the accounting categories for the hard-coded city tax because it is a combination of leaving empty the rebate accounting category in the bookable service settings and defining the categories in Accounting configuration - Additional expenses.

Make the bill clearer (Tax, VAT only, etc...)

VAT rates are not included in the rates/getall API call at the moment
The VAT rates applied cannot be extracted through the rates/getall API call or any other calls yet.
This is the "Tax Rate" field shown when you view a rate in the Mews website.
Due to various changes over the last year, this is crucial to have for reporting.

Better Adjustments
I shouldn't have to create a separate adjustments account for each type of adjustment. If a night has already closed, and then the rate needed to be adjusted by a supervisor because of an error, then their adjustment should be just a Rate Adjustment - automatically contributing to room revenue. I shouldn't have to use the billing tab to then manually calculate rate vs tax breakdown, and post a separate "unbookable service" etc.
Also, refunds / adjustments should be able to be posted to the specific reservations even if they are closed out already. It should be possible to open…

Rounding Precision
Mews rounds per item at the end down to 0.00 (inconsistent) dropping the 3rd decimal.
Channel Manager rounds at the end down to 0.000
US Taxes the Total Price.Leaves $0.01 at times from 3rd party booking engine to the PMS.
Example:
Rate = 299.00
Tax @ 13.45% = 40.2155 (IBE 3rd parties round up/down)
Total = $339.22However, Mews drops the 3rd decimal in the tax and returns $40.21. Therefore, the Total in Mews is $339.21 versus the IBE by 3rd parties (iHotelier and SynXis) which round up/down at the 3rd decimal.
This results in some cases a $0.01…

tax rules
Is it possible to set up different tax rules by room type or rate plan? I am not seeing that we can alter our tax settings, but we need this functionality. We have certain third party TA's that are collecting and remitting part of the occupancy tax, so we need the ability to designate which taxes should be applied to any given rate plan and/or room type.

Grouping products on invoices to reduce the length of a bill
Allowing to group the same products together on a bill would make it clearer for the guest. For example, if a guest stays for 15 days, his invoice will include 15 times the 'local tax' product making the invoice lengthy and not easy to read.
It would be better to simply display local tax x 15, for example.
It could maybe be set for specific products when configuring them.3 votes -
Registration Card Report
There is a specific "Counter" in Mews for the registration cards, but there is no report we can get sorted by Registration Card Number.
In our case, we must register each guest (using a correlative registration number) at the time of check in.
One of the reasons is that the Authorities / Country Administration requires from the hotel, a city tax report that consists in a list of guests sorted by registration number, that includes personal information and details of the stay.
If we can get a list of invoices in Mews (using the Invoice Counter), why is it not…

Automatic Deposit Settlement Disable by Default for US, Australia and New Zealand properties
When a rate group is created and the Automatic Deposit Settlement is default in the US, this creates a revenue items for taxation purposes. This is not used in the US and should not be the default setting. The Option of "Automatic Deposit Settlement" is regionally specific and not global. I believe this "Option" should remain an Option and not the default. This really confusing properties that are setting up rate groups. See help guide on this topic: *Note for properties in the United States, Australia and New Zealand: Do not select this feature, as you are not legally required…

No city tax for children and free breakfast for children
Would be easier to just add breakfast and city tax in case it's necessary than having to counterbook it with every single reservation where children are involved.

"Exclude from offer"
Let's take for an example the hotel "Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly".
After calling the "rules/getAll" and "products/getAll" we see that the product "6c5ed799-2e8a-4a18-8325-ac7a0086a886" is applied for "ResourceCategoryType" equals to "Room" and "Suite". But it's not added to the price displayed on the booking engine, for example, for tarif "7c58c0e7-64f2-41d6-aaff-ac6f00c31da1" and room "7599d179-e235-4894-9310-ac6f00c320ff".You colleague explained us that this product is the city tax. And as this product has the option Exclude price from offer so only the price of the room will appear on the distributor.
But how can we know if the product has this option (Exclude from…

Rate Rules setting, as Product Rules
Would be nice to have a Rate Rules settings (as also Product Rules) to be able to make more tailor made rates. At this moment we use the Rate Rules settings to setup rates, but this results in wrong city tax, because the Product Rules settings are not included in the (hard coded) city tax calculation.

Have products included in rate visible during the reservation process in Commander
When making a new reservation in Commander, there is no way to see a breakdown of the product(s) included in the rate until after the reservation is confirmed.
This is even more confusing when the product price is added to the rate. For example if the rate is EUR 100 per night and a compulsory city tax of EUR 1 per night is automatically added, there is no way for me to see instantly why I selected a EUR 100 but the total value of the booking is EUR 101.3 votesHi Peggy,

City taxes for children
City taxes amount is different between adults and children, and among children based on their age.

Hard Coded City Tax Financial Reports in Accounting Category Additional Expense when Rebated Automatically
Currently when a GDS, OTA, TA etc cancels a reservation, the Hard Coded City Tax is rebated in the Additional Expenses Accounting Category, even when the City Taxes have been configured as "City Tax" in the Accounting Configuration -> Additional Expenses. This creates 2 separate lines in the Accounting Report (1 in the Accommodation / Additional Expense Rebate and the other in the Taxes / Rebate City Tax).

VAT drop for longstay guests (28+ days)
in the UK the VAT drops from 20% to 4% from the 29th night.. which is currently happening in Mews however the total amount doesn’t change just the internal split changes. So properties are not able to pass the benefit of the reduced tax to guests which ideally they should do or at least would like to do.
