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.

  1. Adding this to the API will ensure that the correct name will be added in the invoice when we close the bills automatically.
    It will allow us to be more efficient, avoid changes and manual work.

    Hello from the Mews Product team!


    We've added this functionality to bills/add (also available in bills/update). Check out the OpenAPI specs here: https://app.mews.com/swagger/index.html#/Bills/bills_add


    or on the API docs here: https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/bills#add-bill

  2. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn in der Debitorenverwaltung ( City Ledger ) die direkte Möglichkeit wäre, eine Zahlungserinnerung per Mail zu senden.

  3. Ideally, in the ledgers, we could pay several bills at once . Currently, we can only process one bill at a time. So if I have a cheque for a company that covers 8 bills, I need to do them one by one.

  4. With a receivable tracking feature in use we had a trackable payment line visible at the PM, to follow how many invoices wasn´t paid as well as the amount of each one, all in one page. This week the feature was removed without proper advices and now we did not found a way to have similar info on screen. Instead to become easier it is now worst. We have a case opened asking for help.

    In case you will not allow to use this receivable tracking feature anymore, is it possible to include a column on dashboard tab to include…

  5. Payments added to a group's bill are added under 1 room of the group instead of at the bottom of the bill. This creates confusion because it looks as if there were no payments received. However the cost of the room is shown as a negative amount.

  6. After adding a product to an open bill, you should be able to edit the amount introduced in the bill instead of adding another line with the same product in negative. It is confusing for everyone, especially because the bill could have dozens of lines due to that fact.
    The same happens to Rebates. You should be able to rebate 1 item from a purchase of 5 units of the same item.

  7. I have a few company bills where a lot of empty bills are created due to moving bills around to create large invoices. At the moment I have to manually delete all empty bills one by one. Can you create a button that will clear all empty bills?

  8. Would it be possible to reopen a bill when the guests hasn’t arrived yet ? Can this be a future feature to ease the process of billing before arrival dates ?

  9. When the bill is fully paid upon checkout, the bill can be automatically closed, when the receptionist clicks "check out".

    Otherwise we get the following error: "To enable check-out, make sure that all bills are paid and the Unpaid items / Deposits section is empty. If there are any open items, convert them to a bill and then close it." on fully PAID bills, and to "bypass" that error, we just close the bill, without posting anything. Or some receptionists just move everything to a new bill, once again without posting anything, and only then they can check out the…

  11. When an invoice is issues via mews, we still have to move the receivable manually to a paymaster. It would be great if a paymaster could be linked to a company, so all invoices are moved automatically and thus avoid unnecessary actions.

  12. When working with corporate customers, conferences or groups; the number of same items on a bill, make for very lengthy bills which are difficult to read and process. We would like to see that when there is more than one item of the same product, that these are added up.

    For example, instead of 10 lines with 1 drink in each line. We want to see 1 line with 10 drinks and the total amount to be paid.

  13. Having an overview of how many bookings were placed under the company name or to check if a reservation is already made, it would be very useful to have a dashboard just like in a guest profile.

  14. Currently when you click "Assign bill to company", you have to search for the company, even if it is already listed under the customer profile. It would be useful to have - as well as the search function - the customer's company automatically added to the pop-up so you don't have to search for it.

  15. 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.

  16. 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!!

  17. 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.

  18. 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…
