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.

    Hello Mewsers,

    We are very happy to inform you that we have released the new group billing screen!

    On this new screen we have separated bill items from past and future reservations. Now you can stick to seeing the relevant bills for your reservation in the selected stay period

    Don’t worry, we haven’t gotten rid of it completely! We have created an additional billing screen for each guest. You can access this screen by selecting “All guest’s bills” in the new billing screen. This will show you all open past, present and future bills for the guest you have selected, with convenient tags so you always know which bills are relevant for you.

    Please note this functionality is only available on the new billing screen which will continue to run along side the current billing module.

  2. There is only one value which can be assigned to a stay product. Some products can have variable values. A setting would be helpful to allow some products to have their value changed. This would allow for variable products to be billed/reported against reservations as opposed to as editable service product.

  3. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE BASED ACCORDING TO THE COUNTRY THE HOTEL IS IN.

    WE ARE HERE IN CALIFORNIA USA AND WE HAVE MONTH DATE AND YEAR BUT THE SYSTEM IS UK BASED SO THEY HAVE IT IN THE OTHER WAY!!

    IT MAKES CONFUSING FOR THE GUEST.

  4. When we do a Rebate, the credit note should automatically create the same charge in negative and the payments and already close the bill.

    And we should know if an invoice was rebated and which is the credit note related.

    Very important :)

    Thanks.

    Released - now there is an ability to either Change address on the closed invoice or do an Invoice reinstate to the open bill, in either case the Credit note would be automatically issued and link to the original invoice. 

  5. As promised here is the video with the 2 issues that our reception team will be delighted with if they are improved :)

    The first one: when creating invoices, see timecode 1:17, Pam needs to highlight and copy the booking reference number from that booking on the dashboard tab for that booking, she then needs to go to the billing tab and manually paste the number so then the invoice can be generated for the customer. Now imagine having to do this for every single booking every day. On friday she will need to do this over 120 times, this…

    Hello from the Mews product team. This feature is available and today, it is possible to view relevant booking reference numbers on bills and they display as confirmation number, origin or directly on the relevant line item in the billing screen.

    Thank you for sharing your idea!

  6. Mews should not impose anything on our official document. Moreover, if Mews wants to make a change on the official documents, they should warn us before.
    Hence we notice that our invoices and pro-format are now labelled "Factuur" (dutch word for invoice). But we do not use dutch in our system.
    Forcing us to use dutch language on our english or french invoices is just
    not right.

  7. This property was asking for a way to add a discount percentage to an invoice before they close the bill in a way they will not have to calculate it themselves manually. Right now the only way to do that is to create a product but they will still need to calculate the total price after the discount.

    Hello Mewsers!

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

    We are happy to inform you that we have added the ability to access the billing screen directly from the timeline.

    In order to make use of this functionality all you need to do is select a reservation from the timeline, from there you will see the billing icon in the side menu. Selecting this icon will open the billing screen as shown in the attached image.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

  10. As it can be time consuming to sort through and view each document individually, the capability to export all bills closed within a particular interval to a single document could expedite this process for many accounting teams.

  12. The display of products on bills was previously confusing for many properties, however with some minor formatting improvements, products could now be listed per day along with their respective prices and quantities."

    Accounting categories can now be deleted.

    Have you needed to use this yet and do you have any feedback?

  15. If a payment fails when trying to settle a guest bill, it can create problems for your staff as they might have to chase that guest for a successful payment. Therefore, automating tasks for failed settlements could help streamline this process and collect payments as soon as possible.

    For example: In case of manual settlement, a task could be created to collect payment from the guest at the time of your settlement trigger. In case of a failed automatic settlement, a task could be created to collect payment from the guest at the time of your settlement trigger.

  16. Some countries are not able to properly price and account VAT for long stays, especially when the long stay is changed from the original reservation above or below the certain amount of days. At billing, Mews should properly calculate the discount based on the length of stay (e.g. discount is for every day of a stay longer than 28 days; no discount for a stay of less than 29 days), adjusting the overall price to be paid by the guest, based on any discount.
