    Hello from the Mews product team.


    We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. You are now able to see billing items in the action from the reservation module thanks to our new billing action log. 


    All links are now clickable have an easy to ready user interface that gives you a detailed view on the actions performed on the bill relating to that reservation. You can learn more about the billing action log below:

    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  2. this is now the second or third day this is happening!
    really annoying and wasting a lot of time having to refresh after every billing handling, especially as system has been really slow at times in the last two or three days.
    please fix

  3. Would it be possible to pay per month and not per night? For exampe, our tenants stay at our residence 6 or 12 months. One month costs €510,-. Now I have to calculate it back to the costs per night. So for every month I have to divide the €510,- by 28, 30 or 31 nights. This almost never ends on a rounded number wich makes it a lot of work and the chance of making a mistake or typo is big. Please let me know if this would be possible.

    Hello, monthly bookable services in Mews allow you to price your services on monthly basis: you do not have to define price for each night, you price full months and there is only one item (month) instead of 30 items (nights) on the bill.


    In the coming months, the team will focus on improving the functionality for long stays (monthly reservations) and introduce pro-rating, flexible housekeeping and product posting. We are also looking into payments automation via direct debit.


    Read more about the monthly services here.


    Kind regards,

  6. When using Commander on an iPad, when selecting links such as under Finance, Reports and Reservations the links are very close together and when touched, there is no response or incorrect input as your finger may accidentally touch the wrong link. You have to be careful where you touch. On a laptop or computer, there doesn't seem to be a problem but with a smaller screen there is a challenge. Maybe spacing these links slightly more apart or using a slightly larger font would help in accidental input.

    Hello Mewsers,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very happy to inform you that Mews is not more responsive on all mobile devices including iPads!


    Should you encounter any sections of Mews that are not responsive please do let us know.

  7. How is is not possible to move guests to another room, without making a new reservation or splitting a reservation. Too much work in to a simple action. Too much work where is no extra time for these trying times with too little employees.

    Hello Sjoerd,

    Thank you for contacting the Mews Product team.

    We currently offer several ways to move reservations including dragging and dropping reservations to another room from the timeline, as well as the ability to move reservations to another space from the status tab of the reservation screen or to a different space category from the properties tab on the reservations screen.

    Below you will find a guide that will walk you through each of the options offered. Should you have any additional questions, please contact our support team.

    https://intercom.help/mews-systems/en/articles/4339329-how-to-upgrade-and-downgrade-a-reservation

  8. Is it possible to make the task field in MEWS bigger again so that you can drag the field to write info in it?

    Before the update, you could drag the "Description" window larger using the arrows at the bottom right.
    It would be great if that were possible again. Thank you in advance. Tina

    Hello Tina,

    We are happy to inform you that we have added the ability to expand the task field back to Mews Operations.

    Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. Please do continue sharing your feedback and requests so that we can continue to improve Mews.

  9. I don't mind the new billing screen, once you get used to it, it is quite easy to use.
    One thing I would suggest is that in the new billing screen, we move a lot of items to Paymasters and we now can't see which item belongs to which guest

    It used to show as:
    Stay 1129 (Jane Smith, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020, Standard Room, 16) - $150

    Now shows as:
    Past, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020 - 1129 x1 - $150

    Hello Madelaine,

    We apologies for the delayed response. However, we are happy to inform you that the functionality that you requested has been released.

    You are currently able to see the name of a the original guest who owned a bill before it was moved to a paymaster account.

    We hope this update will be helpful for your day to day tasks.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

    Product Manager, MEWS

  10. Instead of displaying the creation date, it would make more sense for our guests to see the consumption date so that when they check their bill they can quickly identify when certain items were used.

  11. like when you are scrolling up / down you condense the number of spaces displayed on the timeline, you should also be able to do that with the number of days displayed. It would be great if you would be able to see at least one full month on the timeline (ideally would be at least two months!)

  14. The new billing feature is awful. it is not easy to read or negotiate at all.

    I can see that a lot of people feel the same and Mews resistance to change this back. Please listen to your users. I do not see how this new features improves anything at all.

    If a guest has a lot of bookings coming up it is even worse.

    Hello Maria,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

    Since you shared your comments with us 2 months ago we have been working continuously to improve the new billing screen in order to ensure that it not only meets the standards of the old billing screen, but opens up the opportunity to begin surpassing the functionality feature set of the old billing screen.

    We have split the billing screen into 2 views. A group view accessible by selecting the “Billing” tab on the top right had side of the reservation screen and an individual view accessible by selecting the billing icon next to a guests name, or by selecting “all guest bills” from the group billing screen.

    The group billing screen gives you an overview of all reservations and companions within a group for the current stay period. Whereas the individual billing screen will show you all bill items…

  15. It would be great to have overview of „negative“ pick-Ups, so cancellations in the Pick Up Analytics tool. Even on the Dashboard, so you have a perfect overview of positive (bookings) and negative (cancellation) pick ups. As a reference: Pace is doing it in their pick up report

  16. When we have a meeting room booked and the company would like add bedrooms to their booking. So everything is connected and is clear that the reservations are for the same event.

    Hi, to create new reservation of another bookable service linked to a reservation of the Meeting room, please, use Reservation group functionality.   


    You can use the same dates, details etc - just use the "Add another reservation" button in the Reservation flow.  


    Alternatively, you can create a new reservation for the accommodation and merge it with the meeting room booking - again, everything will be in the same reservation group.


    Best regards,  

    Martin Kucera

  17. The colors on the timeline just make it more difficult to manage our inventory. Having the OOO rooms in a brighter color made it simple to track. Having everything in shades of grey is NOT an improvement

  18. every time you delete a house use booking it crashes the system. a couple of days ago it just took about 2 minutes to process through the system, since yesterday it crashes the actual page and you have to re-open a new mews to continue your work. totally frustrating

    Hello from the Mews product team.

    We are so pleased to let you know that we have extended the configuration of Mews Analytics to correctly accept the language and culture settings.

    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  20. Registration cards in the US legal environment are in the wrong format: DD/MM/YYYY.
    The correct format according to the local standard should be MM/DD/YYYY.
