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. Currently, when sending an invoice/bill via email for a company owned bill only the company’s invoicing email is automatically suggested as a recipient. However, most of the time the guest (associate profile) should receive the bill as they have to file it with their travel management to get reimbursed.
    Hence, the email of the guest needs to be retrieved manually each time from the guest profile and copied back into the send bill/invoice form. This delays the checkout process unnecessarily!
    Suggestion: automatically suggest the associated profile’s email as a potential recipient in addition to the bill owner’s email when sending…

  2. Currently, it is possible to send invoice reminders on demand and manually via the bill/invoice itself or via the City Ledger.

    (1) It would be nice to have repeated (and automated) reminders in different stages of the aging process, and
    (2) also create an easier way to add a surcharge (if needed) on overdue invoices;
    (3) Alert the responsible personnel/Mews User of the reminders not actioned.

  3. For travel agencies and company guests with routing rules, it is very difficult to quickly identify the date of the reservation . It would be much more useful and convenient if we could have the arrival date displayed at the top of the bill. so there is no need to click on each booking to see the specific date.

  4. It is worth considering to automatically move completed "payments requests" and Mews Payment refunds to their relevant Open Bill, where the concerned stay items are already, at least.

    Currently, they all go to the Unpaid Section of the billing screen and the user is then tasked to move the items manually.

  5. At the moment Mews only has a template when you send an invoice that thanks the guest for their stay, however the same are sent as reminder which then often get ignored by debtors.

    The option to create more standard emails, to create for example a different template for reminders of invoices would be a useful tool to improve the management from within Mews.

  6. Tourist taxes are included in the turnover of the accounting report, but they are not. This should be a separate item.

  7. Since the unpaid invoices only show in the owner's dashboard or list of Bills and Invoices, it's become a lot of more clicks to set it paid.

    We have some companies and tour operators, that pay with one amount up to 40 invoices by banktransfer. When those showed in the billing, I only had to select all of the invoices, transfer them to one new bill and could close this bill with 3 clicks.

    Now I have 5 clicks for each invoice, that makes with 40 bills about 140 clicks more than before and also takes a lot more time…

  8. There is no report on issuing a statement for an individual company, at any time of the month which should include invoice number, date of invoice, amount and the period (if it's overdue, how many days). Statements should be issued to companies on a regular basis in order to allow them to reconcile the account!

  9. It makes sense to me to flexibility in AR Management.
    The 30 | 60 | 90 day industry standard seems to suit many hoteliers but is hard coded in most PMSs with AR Modules/functions.

    Some operators in Japan wish to manage and reconcile AR Accounts by calendar month. This is likely to be true elsewhere, given flexibility to do so.

  10. An option to cancel the invoice which would then post all the charges on that invoice back onto the billing tab with the original consumption date. From there we can then negative out what needs to be cancel and then settle the charges as required. This would be a great option for accounts that are settled via EFT.

  11. To add a column in multiple Reports (manly Accounting Report) with the Reservation number of the guest (Booking number). This could be used as a Primary Key to connect the different reports.

    This could help us merging reports like Accounting Report and Reservation Report that right now are used for multiple tasks and requires hours of manually work from Finance and Operations teams.

    The name of the guest can change before/after the check-in. So, name of the guest is not working good for merging reports.

    Hi, we are currently working on ability to link both payments and charges (including additional products) to the reservation, and that reservation number will be populated in the Accounting report. 

  12. When taking a manual payment such as on arrival, post as a payment against a deposit bill raised in same button, e.g. take payment and raise automatic deposit bill. This will save front desk time when checking in a high volume of guests that pay via pdq terminal on arrival and allow them more interaction time with the guest.

  13. It would be great to be able to create products (NOT linked as a stay package) composed of different subproducts with different prices and VAT rates, which would show as one package price.

    Example: I would like to create a Drinks package of X€, composed of water at Y€ and VAT rate at 10% and of wine at Z€ and VAT rate at 20%. Currently we have to create two products (water AND wine) and it would not appear as a drinks package in the billing line.

  14. I'd like to disable the 'Check out with unbalanced bill' function for some users in my system. This is not possible yet and has to do with user rights/permissions.
