    Hello from the Mews product team.

    We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. You are now able to see billing items in the action from the reservation module thanks to our new billing action log. 

    All links are now clickable have an easy to ready user interface that gives you a detailed view on the actions performed on the bill relating to that reservation. You can learn more about the billing action log below:

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

    It confusing for receptionists to check what is due and why as they have some In House Clients and some that are In house but not shown as is…

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

  3. this is now the second or third day this is happening!
    really annoying and wasting a lot of time having to refresh after every billing handling, especially as system has been really slow at times in the last two or three days.
    please fix

  4. I don't mind the new billing screen, once you get used to it, it is quite easy to use.
    One thing I would suggest is that in the new billing screen, we move a lot of items to Paymasters and we now can't see which item belongs to which guest

    It used to show as:
    Stay 1129 (Jane Smith, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020, Standard Room, 16) - $150

    Now shows as:
    Past, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020 - 1129 x1 - $150

    Hello Madelaine,

    We apologies for the delayed response. However, we are happy to inform you that the functionality that you requested has been released.

    You are currently able to see the name of a the original guest who owned a bill before it was moved to a paymaster account.

    We hope this update will be helpful for your day to day tasks.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

    Product Manager, MEWS

  5. Instead of displaying the creation date, it would make more sense for our guests to see the consumption date so that when they check their bill they can quickly identify when certain items were used.

  6. The new billing feature is awful. it is not easy to read or negotiate at all.

    I can see that a lot of people feel the same and Mews resistance to change this back. Please listen to your users. I do not see how this new features improves anything at all.

    If a guest has a lot of bookings coming up it is even worse.

    Hello Maria,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

    Since you shared your comments with us 2 months ago we have been working continuously to improve the new billing screen in order to ensure that it not only meets the standards of the old billing screen, but opens up the opportunity to begin surpassing the functionality feature set of the old billing screen.

    We have split the billing screen into 2 views. A group view accessible by selecting the “Billing” tab on the top right had side of the reservation screen and an individual view accessible by selecting the billing icon next to a guests name, or by selecting “all guest bills” from the group billing screen.

    The group billing screen gives you an overview of all reservations and companions within a group for the current stay period. Whereas the individual billing screen will show you all bill items…

  7. at the moment when one guest has multiple bookings (i.e. coming for one day every week), the bill at the top of the screen is the one with the furthest arrival date.
    that doesn't make sense.
    the most recent date should be at the top and those days further in the future at the bottom of the screen.
    it is too easy to make mistakes now with creating invoices or taking payments for the wrong date / week / stay

  8. Move the "Move selected items" button up to be next to "Move all items" button in billing. The placement of the button right now doesn't make any sense.

  10. When we charge the breakfast, the price is the same for the adults of for the children we can't make a difference. It'd b great if we can fix this: the products are adjusted with the number of adults/children in the room

  11. If a customer has 3 bookings, 100€ per booking, and makes a payment of 50€ or even 150€, there is no automatic way to link that payment to an specific reservation.

    This is specially important in, for example, enterprise customers. For example, I make 3 reservations for three employees:
    - Booking nº1 for today= 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)
    - Booking nº2 for next monday = 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)
    - Booking nº3 for next month= 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)

    So, payment in advanced 30€. At the check in, you may ask one employee to…

  13. Add a remove/delete option for the items you add in the billing section. Rigth now the only option to remove/delete it is to post another item/service/product (in negative).

  14. We need that in a reservation from an specific travel agency all its charges automatically goes to the company bill (or the paymaster of this company), so the balance in the guest account is 0. Some travel agencies charges themselves to the guest and manually we have to move the charges to the company bill or the paymaster of this company, so it does not allow to work with properties with reduced staff and automatic kiosk check-in (as the balance of the guest will not be 0, but the the guest has already payed to the travel agency)

  17. When clicking 'transfer/other guest' the cursor should just immediately be placed inside the box so we can type the name.
    This way you can immediately start typing and looking for the name or paymaster.
    Right now it's a hassle to have to click again just to start typing.

    Perfect example: go to google.com and voila you can just type whatever you want to look up.
    Can you imagine having to click the box again to actually start typing? Simply unnecessarily inefficient.

  18. When a guest ask for a quotation with different kind of product (night, breakfast, lunch, dinner, pic nic……) it would be great to have the complete breakdown with each product clearly identified.
    Currently, Mews does not offer the possibility to identify products and offer the total amount without any detail.
    Our guest ask for detailed quotation

    Hello!

    I am happy to announce that this has been released! The new Quotation layout displays a breakdown of included items and their cost.

  19. We´ve found this link informing that the NIF is mandatory for bill above 400EUR in Spain, but to use this situation the Bill should have two different templates and would turn more complicated for daily operations.
    https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4430685-closing-a-bill-above-400-eur-for-spanish-customers

    The request is to have a “Big Warning” when the operator tries to generate a Bill with an empty NIF. So the operator can intentionally decide if it is really desired to generate a Bill without NIF and avoid human error missing the NIF, because by default the NIF is empty even when the user fields are already filled by the system.
    Thanks

    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.
