  1. Currently guests checked-in with 0 balance show on the accounting ledger under 'to be resolved', this is creating so much extra work to check each individual reservation when no infact no action is required.
    These reservations should fall under 'in house' section in the accounting ledger while they are checked-in and 'to be resolved' after the check-out date.

    Solved through the new accounting ledger. New ledgers are in progressive roll out and will released to all countries by the end of January.

  2. The ability to remove product items once posted, rather than having to do a full adjustment every time something is posted in error.

    There should also be a log of items added to the bill as well as removed, so that we can keep track.

  3. Be able to add address or company's name if we make a mistake after closing the bill. The current SOP in place for this is not efficient and too complicated.

    Hi,

    We have now released the ability to change the address on a closed bill or invoice, where credit note will be issued to balance out the original invoice and new bill/invoice will be issued with corrected address.

  4. Please simplify the adjustment of the billing address for closed invoices so that the company address can be added or changed subsequently without having to reverse the invoice.

  5. If we have to cancel an invoice, there should be an option to keep the products for the new invoice and not have to re-enter all the items. It happens so often that the guest calls and the invoice needs to be made out to the company after all and you have to re-enter everything. This needs too much time!!

  6. Our invoices need to be emailed directly to companies (i.e. Travel Agents or Businesses) directly. Currently you can only email to Customer Profiles, yet all the contact information for companies are stored in the Company profile. We move chargeback items to a Company Bill, so it seems illogical to then not be able to email the invoice directly to that company?

    We waste so much valuable time saving the PDF down and manually sending the invoice through Gmail. There is a lot of room for human error here, where invoices don't ever get sent out.

  7. The routing rules allows us to route the following options;
    1 - Only reservations that are prepaid in online travel agency (OTA)
    2 - All reservations with this company or travel agency attached

    recommended improvement #1

    we noticed that option 1 does not route prepaid reservations by VC.
    As Bcom does indicate its a VC instead of a prepaid to TA. We cannot apply routing to this TA. As they do not have separate TA profiles for VC and CC as Expedia has, we currently cannot distinguish which ones should be routed.

    Recommended improvement #2

    As multiple company profiles might…

  8. There should be way to process the authorization that was already made on the card to be processed to a complete charge while checking in the guest using the terminal where the preauthorization is sent to the terminal and guest will make sure it is the right amount and enter there pin if it is a debit card or enter the zip code for credit card or any other way so that there can be less chance for any guest to add a charge back case something like that as it will make sure the guest used the card by…

  12. The billing has changed and a lot of colleagues get confused using this new billing method. It is harder to see the companions on the same room when 2 guest are travelling together in one room. Sometimes the charges from F&B are booked on 2 different names in the same reservation. This can be easily forgotten on check out when very busy.
    The room number is also not visible in the billing. It would be nice to see a name and roomnumber. (sometimes there are 2 bookings under the same name)

    We would love to change back to the old…

    Hello,

    Thank you for your comments and feedback regarding the billing screen.

    We have released an update resolving issues where the room names and room numbers were missing from the billing screen.

    The new billing screen has 2 main views, group billing and individual billing.

    From the group billing screen, you will be able to view a list of all bill items for reservation owners and companions. The group billing screen can be accessed from the billing tab on the top right hand side of the reservations screen.

    The group billing screen shows all bill items for a group for the current stay period. Whereas as the individual billing screen (which can be accessed by selecting the billing icon next to a guests name), will show you all bill items from current, previous and future reservations.

    To learn more about the new group billing screen, please click on the link…

  13. Show check in and check out dates in the principal screen of Accounting ledger. So you can see if the reservation that needs to be resolved is past, in house or future, without going inside any booking.
    Or sort out the list by check out date instead of by surname.

  14. Ensure that the items for each stay are assigned to an individual bill. It is confusing, if there are different stays and prepayments displayed on one bill and extra work is needed to separate them for check-out.

  15. The window on the envelope is always on the left. It is on the right side of the invoice. Changing the billing header address would be very helpful. Thank you.

    A new option is now available in the Accounting Configuration that allows you to select whether you would prefer the address to show on the left or the right side of the invoice.

  16. For paymaster accounts we organize the receivable invoices per month or prepare a group of bill for a special wire transfer amount. Having the option of renaming a bill preview will be very useful when we transfer a receivable invoice from a customer profile to the paymaster account. We won't confuse about the right bill preview to transfer anymore.

  17. This is very confusing
    Ok for if a guest is staying 2 nights, charging them and never see them again.

    very difficult to read and understand. Once the Guest has been charged. the bill disappears.

    Very difficult to work out what a guest has been charged for and when. especially long term people who do work for accom.

    this needs a lot of work.

    With the GC 'POST' Section, (even though the 'amount outstanding' didn't work, you could see what the guest has paid and when and how. So much better.

  19. 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.

  20. Please remove the option to charge the customer card against all items under Unassigned.
    This is causing operational problems, because is much easier to charge fully for current and future stays all together by mistake or while in a rush. The only way to prevent wrong charging is to manually move the charges to a New Bill.
    This is a technical disadvantage.

    Old billings screen was able to prevent this as products for future reservations were kept on the left hand side. There was no option to collect payment against them.
