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 billing. 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. The 'Rebate' function is currently causing issues in our customer communication and accounting. When a bill is rebated, we are unable to reissue it as an open bill, which is problematic for several reasons:

    Customer Experience: We often do not want to send a credit note or proof of a rebate to the customer—for example, if we are simply correcting an internal error or removing a product. Providing a new receipt showing a rebate is confusing and lacks logical UX.

    Integration with BookVisit: Our connectivity is dependent on being able to resend reservations to MEWS. If we accidentally close a…

  2. When you add a product you cannot see the bill balance. Posting a new charge or adjustment to close the bill becomes unnecessarily inefficient. I'd like to propose moving the bill balance, the add product sidebar, or displaying the bill balance in the sidebar for easier reconciliation. Just not great UI.

  3. Via Peppol mogen alleen XML-bestanden worden verstuurd. Om toch een PDF mee te sturen, moet deze geëmbed worden in de XML (gecodeerd), zodat er technisch nog steeds slechts één XML-bestand wordt verzonden.

    Helaas is het niet verplicht om een pdf mee te sturen via Peppol. Daarom vraag ik of het mogelijk is om toch telkens de PDF te embedden in de XML?

    Zonder pdf is het voor onze klant moeilijk om facturen te lezen, te controleren en te boeken.

  4. When a user re-issues a bill or invoice, a reason code is requested. It could be useful to have a list of standard reason codes (wrong payment, wrong price, wrong profile etc) and that the reason codes were accessible through the API. Then it can be used to pinpoint the reason for a re-issue. From that we can pinpoint training, information or setup to make sure we avoid too many credits.

  5. Summary of the Issue

    During check-out, we frequently face the problem that POS receipts (e.g. from MEWS POS or other integrations) cannot be properly split across multiple rooms or guest invoices.
    This is because identical POS items are automatically merged into a single billing item (e.g. multiple grape juices combined into one position).

    Once merged, this item cannot be split afterwards and can therefore only be settled on one invoice.
    The only workaround is to manually calculate and allocate amounts across different payment methods, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

    In contrast, bookable services (e.g. breakfast) are handled as individual, divisible…

  6. Be able to quickly and easily export all invoices (in PDF format) for a specific period (day, week, month) with a single click.
    Currently, you have to click on each invoice, print it, and save it as a PDF.
    An individual PDF export for the desired period would make this task much easier.

  8. Clients would benefit from the ability to assign or customize counters at the service level rather than just at the property level. Today’s setup only allows counters to be selected from a property‑wide dropdown, which introduces avoidable human error and operational inefficiencies.

    Problem

    • Counters are defined at the property level, meaning all services pull from the same shared list.
    • Staff must manually choose the correct counter from a dropdown when posting charges.
    • This manual selection is error‑prone, especially for properties with many outlets, departments, or revenue streams.
    • Incorrect counter selection leads to downstream reporting and accounting discrepancies that…

  9. Summary

    Provide hotels with a controlled way to correct closed bill items that were accidentally posted with a future consumption date, even though the item was actually consumed in the past and already charged on a guest bill.

    Problem

    In the “Add Product [+]” workflow, users occasionally select an incorrect future consumption date by mistake. When this happens:

    • The item is still closed on the bill at the correct amount and date of posting.
    • However, the consumption date remains in the future.
    • As a result, the item continues to appear on the Guest Ledger until that incorrect date becomes…

  10. Chargebacks need to let the merchant have the ability to have Visa/Mastercard Arbitration Rights against the issuing Bank by the Card Member. This ability can be easily rectified if STRIPE would allow it. All other credit card processing companies allow the Merchant to have arbitration in the United States.

  11. When I click on the Billing button, it currently opens the active bill rather than displaying all open bills. To view the remaining open bills, I then have to click on “All Guests’ Bills.”
    While this is not a major issue, it does add an extra step to the checkout process. If clicking the Billing button could instead display all open bills by default, it would help streamline the workflow and make the checkout process more efficient, seamless and remove that one 'extra click'

  12. Allow controlled edits/voids of incorrect posting during a reasonable period (configurable).

    Prevent misuse: of course, lock items after the window or after key lifecycle events (e.g., allocation to stay charges or end-of-day posting).

    Ensure reporting accuracy: automatically update tax journals, VAT reports, and revenue/prepayment ledgers when correction is made.

    Reduce Manual burden: fewer compensating entries, cleaner financials between source and external systems

  13. The format of viewing the Manager's Report on the screen with "Year Overview" is helpful. Showing Previous Day, MTD and YTD totals. However, it does not work to schedule this report for automatic distribution. The data is not accurate.

  15. I would like to request a small development regarding the deposit payments in customer's bill.
     
    Could you please add two new fields on the deposit payment rows:
    - The payment date of the deposit
    - The consumption date of the deposit
     
    These additions would greatly help us in tracking the right deposit when we have done some corrections for the deposit.

  16. I was wondering if it would be possible to add the additional Revenue and product Revenue into the ADR. At the moment it is only calculating the ADR depending on the Revenue and not Total Revenue, creating therefore discrepancies with the actual ADR.

  17. When adding multiple quantities of the same additional service product to an open bill, the display is different depending on the quantity selected when adding the product.
    - When I input a quantity of 10 or less of the product, the open bill shows each individual product as an individual line on the open bill.
    - When I input a quantity of more than 10 of the product, the open bill shows one line that groups all those products.
    Property would like that one grouped line is displayed on the open bill regardless of the quantity, as this makes it…

  18. We need the ability for the Ledger or Reservation Report to surface future arrivals that have routed billing but still carry unpaid balances. It would be more efficient to pull that data in one place.

    This visibility allows hotels to proactively verify payment arrangements, prevent revenue leakage, and resolve billing issues before the guest arrives. Adding this filter or data point will reduce manual audits and improve operational readiness for front desk and accounting teams.

  20. So every night I have to copy the person ID number of every reservation that is checking out that day, to close bills properly during the morning check-out time.

    My point is... Could it exist an automation that once you complete an ID / Passport number, it is copied to the TAX identifier directly?
