  1. Hello!

    I work in the reception of a hotel where we have a lobby shop. When we go to billing on the paymaster account the list of products we can add is rather long, with the number of items we have.

    Therefore I request the feature to collapse categories within the product list so that it is easier to find certain items/products in our list that we wish to add to the bill.

    The collapse menu function could also be added to any menu where there are categorized lists for easier navigation when lists become long.

  2. Hello Dear Carl,

    In this case the reservation, despite being of an NRF rate, was not cancelled but suffered a change of dates, so the cancellation fee would only be the difference between the value of the new reservation and the value of the initial reservation.

    New dates: 527€
    Initial dates: 460€
    Cancellation fee: 67€

    is there any possibility of programming this NRF condition when there is a change of dates so that the cancellation fee is only the difference, but at the minimum of the initial dates, in this case it would be the minimum of 460€.

    Best Regards,

  3. Our accounting ledger, with the hostel closing and a lot of cancellations, is overloaded with negative outstanding amounts.
    We have seen with the MEWS team that as soon as we have a cancellation, the late cancellation turnover is posted automatically without us being able to do anything.
    In this case, is it possible to ensure that the negative and positive outstandings are filtered out?
    The goal is to show the user directly what he wants to see, so to add the filter in the options on the side.

  4. In order to facilitate the check out and payment, it would be easier if the Rate name was displayed next to the amount. This way the Receptionist can easily state what type of stay occurred and apply his SOPs accordingly.

  5. It would be essential to bill and follow debtors invoices based on company profiles.
    Actually we can invoice a company but the invoice stay on client profile, for debtors management it would be easier that the invoice appears on company profile. We are force to create a client profile for the company and move the items on it, which is redundant.

  6. At the moment, it can be hard to tell if an invoice has been emailed to the client or not. can the email button be turned red or something to show if the email has been sent.

  7. Products and services that are bookable during the reservation process should have a Day of Week Restriction.

    IE: Hotel wants to offer a product that is only available if a guest is going to be staying over a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

    If a guest is going to be checking in Sunday and Checking out Wednesday, the product should display and be bookable.

    However, if they are checking in Wedneday & Checking out Thursday, the product should not display and be bookable as they guest wont be in house when the product is offered.

  8. In the billing screen, please allow user to tick the item to correct/adjust and foresee and foresee and adjust/partial adjust button to do the correction in same screen.

    Eg: a beer of €5 appears on invoice but was wrongly posted. Now, we need to go to add product, select the correct service (F&B 21%) and book negative amount.

    This is not seamless and from experience, as operator needs to manually select in which service to adjust.

    I see that the service or product selected for the adjustment is not always the same as the service/product that was initially posted. Eg.…

  9. Currently guests in house with future bookings aren't shown as in house in the accounting ledger.

  10. I just want to know why they are complicating the billing screen at a time when there were no issues with it? We don't understand. We feel a little held ******* by this design flaw. The old billing screen is a godsend for Accounting. It makes the workflow so much smoother. We feel as though the new billing screen is an eyesore and hard to read. It makes things take longer and is more confusing. The old billing screen is clear, concise, and fast. Reading left to right is more natural than top to bottom. Also drag and drop is…

  11. It will be nice to have the price shown for only selected items if asked by the guest, and not have to move them to a new bill to have the amount, or calculate somehow.

  12. Need to be able to pull a report or see quick view, the total revenue listed under a group name which includes any charges accrued during that stay - currently you can only pull the reservations report for accommodation and no additional charges.

  13. We use the booker field for our paymaster indications for groups.

    It would be great if the booker would come up as a suggested customer to move the bill items to, when we move items from the bill.

    So in the move section all possible customer profiles that are attached to a reservation are listed as option.

  16. At the moment there is no way to check Outstanding Balances in a report format for a particular day.

    Having a daily or 'period wise' Outstanding Balance Report will help front desk receptionist and supervisors to monitor payments for check in/ check out guests with ease and not miss out a guest who has not paid.

    A status with a green 'tick' can also be placed on the reservation on the timeline to visually help front desk agents to point out which reservation has a pending balance if any.

  20. Now, it is impossible to print or send a proforma if booking is not confirmed
    To send a proforma for optional booking we have to confirm the reservation then delete it and re-create the booking as optional.
    Please make it possible, so we can send a proforma invoice as a quotation with an option date for confirmation
