Property Operations & PMS

Property Operations and PMS: this is the forum for posting your ideas and comments on all aspects of hotel operations, from reservations to events to metrics and reports. You'll find a category here for each of the major topics in property management, and if you can't find the right category, please search or post to the Other category. Where we can, we'll move ideas around to group them as intuitively as possible for the product managers working on the PMS.

Please keep in mind that there is a separate forum for topics specific to the operations of hotel chains and groups. Go to the Multi-property management forum for anything about portfolio management or rate, product, package and restriction functionality across multiple properties.

  1. Linked hardcoded tourist tax adjustments to the tourist tax accounting category and not to the accounting category of the parent (service)

    This distorts the accounting because the tourist tax has to go back down into a tax type accounting category, whereas the service's accounting category is a turnover account.

    This regression was detected at the beginning of 2024.

  2. Tourist taxes are included in the turnover of the accounting report, but they are not. This should be a separate item.

  3. Add restaurant cheque and meal voucher payment methods in order to :
    - be able to manage these payment methods from reception via MEWS and not just from the POS
    - be able to perform accounting adjustments from MEWS in the event of an input error in the POS, which does not allow this type of action to be performed

  4. Minimum requirement :

    Define a commission rate attached to a TA (see possible rules, but at least a % on room rate or total stay) 
    Attach or detach automatically (OTA) or manually a TA to a reservation  
    Calculate and store TA commissions  
    Reports (statements)

    Description:

    Things to know about travel agent commission management
    Reservations are linked to an agent with a specific commission calculation configuration.

    Reservations may be linked to a travel agent in order to attribute the business brought, but you may ask PMS not to calculate the commission of specific reservations, if needed.
    There is a procedure to…

  5. Having a separate mail template for proformas would be useful as the information in the email with proforma attached differs from that of with a regular bill/invoice attached.

  6. When adding a product to a bill, like a parking fee, it would be good to be able to add a note with the fee to the bill so that the note is also shown on the final invoice. If we for example have group/meeting reservations where everything is going on the same bill, for the customer it is occasionally important to know whose parking fees are actually on the final invoice.

  9. Hello!

    There's a feature in the billing window, to rename the bill, which is very useful. We generally take notes such as voucher numbers to report in the notes of the document to close.
    This feature though, is not available for the main bill, but only for additional bills you create.
    This is kind of a nuissance because you have to move the items to a new bill in order to be able to rename the bill and set all the notes you need.
    It would be great if also the main bill could be renamed.

    Thank you for your…

  10. The problem is on the open bills after rebates. The night items do not show the dates of the nights. However, when you close or preview the bill, the dates are visible.

    This causes some problems in case the bills require splitting of different nights. As the way the night items are ordered on the preview is also not how it is ordered on the Mews open bill.

    Current fix is to move the items around and preview multiple times until the receptionists get it right. This is a time-consuming task. If the dates are already there, there is no…

  11. Properties would love the option to either package the bill as a whole line OR to have each line packaged per daily consumption therefore offering businesses that require it an itemized bill.

    -Current setup: Bill as Package
    1/23/24 to 1/25/24 Stay info total Price of "Night+Products+VAT"

    -Suggested additional setup: itemized Bill as a Package
    1/23/24 Stay info Price of "Night+Products+VAT"
    1/24/24 Stay info Price of "Night+Products+VAT"

  12. Ideally, in the ledgers, we could pay several bills at once . Currently, we can only process one bill at a time. So if I have a cheque for a company that covers 8 bills, I need to do them one by one.

  13. We would prefer having the option for guest names to appear on the invoices (preferably next to the Logis numbers listed on the invoice)
    This would especially be useful for group reservations.
    When companies book for their employees, they often ask for invoices with guest names for their bookkeeping departments to be able to assign payments to individual employees. Having a company name on the invoice is fine.

    Do you think you could include this option in the near future?

    We have many requests for this and have been entering guest names in Notes on invoices, but all those solutions…

  14. We need to refine the filtering of the accounting ledger to display only entries that have already occurred, and excluding those that are scheduled for the future. To prevent entries labeled 'to be resolved' from appearing until after all items on a reservation have been completed. For instance, a reservation in our system is todasy 29.feb marked 'to be resolved,' but the guest will not check out until March 6th. We cannot send the invoice before after the guest has left the hotel..

  15. Manually added items on the bill now show in the package. We always have to open the package in the billing to see, if the guest as any extras to the original booking. This is really confusing because we can't even see if the item was already booked with the original booking or added later.

    Before it was easier: we could show the guest the amount of the package booked and below all extra items were displayed.

  16. Since the unpaid invoices only show in the owner's dashboard or list of Bills and Invoices, it's become a lot of more clicks to set it paid.

    We have some companies and tour operators, that pay with one amount up to 40 invoices by banktransfer. When those showed in the billing, I only had to select all of the invoices, transfer them to one new bill and could close this bill with 3 clicks.

    Now I have 5 clicks for each invoice, that makes with 40 bills about 140 clicks more than before and also takes a lot more time…

  17. The summary of guest balance on the check-out page is pretty nice and allows us to see with a quick glance if the guest has something left to pay when leaving.
    It would be much better if that summary only showed the balance for the current stay and not the future stays of the guest.
    Most of our regulars have dozens of stays booked in advance and the check-out summary shows the total for all of them which is completely irrelevant during check-out.

  18. Currently to get to the details section of a booking you have to click on the booking, move the mouse, and click detail.
    We should be able to just double-click the booking on the timeline and go directly into the details of the booking.

  20. Option to Issue Pro Forma Invoices or Invoices with a Percentage Deposit Requirement for Booking Confirmation

    As we establish our group accommodation billing process, we've identified the need to issue pro forma invoices or invoices that specify a deposit amount—such as 33%—to confirm a booking. This functionality is particularly essential for group bookings, where securing reservations often requires a partial payment upfront.

    Currently, Mews does not provide the option to generate an invoice based on a percentage of the booking total. Instead, the system only allows invoicing for the entire amount, which can complicate transactions and discourage early booking confirmations.…
