  2. The current handling of Service Charges presents several challenges that could be addressed with a few key updates and help to simplify the operations in Indonesia.

    Key Points for Enhancement:

    Service Charge as a Surcharge and not as a product:

    Current Situation: The Service Charge is treated as a product, making it difficult to manage.
    Proposed Solution: Add the Service Charge as a surcharge instead of a product. This would streamline operations and reduce the manual effort required to ensure accuracy.

    Accurate Reporting:

    Current Situation: Reporting is often incorrect because the Net Revenue calculation (Gross Revenue - Tax - Service…

  3. The obligation to use a certified cash register applies where the company’s sales take place in return for cash payment or in return for payment with a debit or credit card.

    All forms of electronic payments, according to the Swedish Tax Agency, are equated with payments by debit or credit card. An example of an electronic payment is when a customer uses his or her mobile phone to make a payment via an app.

    The Cash Register service enables you to report the cash register, modify information and report any malfunctions of the cash register.

  4. Recently the date format on reports has been changed for the Danish "Date and Price format" connected to our users in Mews.

    So instead of dd-mm-yyyy it is dd.mm.yyyy

    Would be great that the date format is not defined TOGETHER with a price format. But that you as user can select the date format that suits you regardless of what price format suits you.

    (And of course would be great, if changes to the formatting was announced prior to changing. And that a list of the different definitions was available.
    As it is now it was changed with no warning…

  8. The Market Segment should appear on this report (like in Guestline Postings Report) so that we can relate actual daily revenue to market segments after deduction of tax and Breakfast etc.

  9. We would like to change the listing of positions on the invoice. At the moment guests see the invoice like this:
    -overnight
    -breakfast
    -tourist tax

    This is not perfect / a little confusing as guests book their room always including breakfast. We want the listing to be like this:
    -overnight (price including breakfast) --> bill as package
    -tourist tax
     no splitting for the overnight and the breakfast. But tourist tax should still be mentioned separately.

  10. Tax-exempt rates should allow for derived from taxed rates. The current functionality requires US properties to maintain 2 Base Rates -- 1 taxed and 1 tax-exempt. The taxes are irrelevant to the base rate pricing, and a are function of the guest type (church, government, non-profit), OTA pays tax, or 30+ day stay. There is no reason they should be managed separately from other rates.

  11. Dear Software Team,

    Greetings from Amsterdam. We have a feature request that I believe would improve the user experience and add more value to the businesses. I would like to suggest adding a column for the guests’ date of birth into the reservation report.

    The addition of the date of birth column would provide several benefits. Firstly, it would allow businesses to better understand their customer demographics. In addition, it is obligatory to have a report including date of birth, to submit for the deduction of local (Amsterdam) guests for the city tax (for the yearly submittance to the local…

  12. Due to the change that already closed invoices cannot be rewritten to company, it is mandatory that MEWS absolutely does not close any invoices automatically. Payments that are received directly after posting, for example, are posted directly against the product and the invoice is closed. Here I can not change the company address from now on. However, on this first invoice the tax statement is visible. If this invoice is charged back and recreated so that it is issued to the company, unfortunately the tax statement is missing here. MEWS is no longer allowed (at least in Germany) to automatically…

  13. The new Real Decreto 933/2021 is now in place and all the spanish hotels have up to 02/Jun/2023 to implement it. It requires the collection of more guest data during checkin (online and/or at front desk) and to provide a new report to the police database.
    We need this feature to be adjusted ASAP, before spring. Thanks

  14. The City tax product should be loaded so to not impact the rate. Should the number of guests in a room evolve (from two to one), the nightly rate of the room should not be impacted. One city tax should simply be removed from the billing.

  15. When creating a new reservation, on the right handside, the total is including all the added products & city tax. We should be able to see a subtotal NOT including the City Tax.
    Further more, as we could only see the average rate before, it would be great to have the rate detailed per night.

  16. There are some legal environments where the threshold tax applies. It means that if the rate of the stay is below a specific amount (e.g. $50/night), the occupancy tax doesn't apply.

    The tax logic in Mews doesn't support it which prevents hostels to use Mews in regions like San Francisco or British Columbia.

    The tax logic should treat nights above and below certain price range differently.

  18. Can we please have "Additional Expenses" grouped together the same way Products group on the "Items" tab in the reservation screen. Currently these show line by line and for City Tax for longer stays this creates a massive list. It is then harder to handle as you have cancel them 1 by 1, which then forces the PMS to refresh after each cancellation!
    We have different agreements with OTAs and sometimes the CT is already covered in a different way.
    This would be beneficial for other Expenses introduced in tot he system later on.
    It should be a quick win…

  20. A discount (%) campaign should also be possible to reduce also Products (Product Rule) with that %. The obvious example is breakfasts - yet, preserving city tax without any % discount. This way, the myriad of special discounted Products, Product Rules etc would be avoided.
