  1. Many customers ask for an invoice for their stays without details.
    Now, each invoice contains the details of the services and on the same page a summary of the taxes.
    It would be interesting to have the summary of the taxes on a separate page and which includes the same header and footer of the detailed invoice.

  2. It would be nice if their is a possibility to exclude product from the cancellation fees. For example: we do want to charge our product breakfast in our cancellation fees, but we want to exclude our tourism tax (verblijfsbijdrage) from the cancellation fee. At this moment this is not possible.

  3. At the moment it is difficult to set up the accounting categories for the hard-coded city tax because it is a combination of leaving empty the rebate accounting category in the bookable service settings and defining the categories in Accounting configuration - Additional expenses.

  4. In order to get more accurate commission overviews we would like an option when setting up a product to define whether it's commissionable or non commissionable (so if it should calculate for the commission overview).
    Things like city tax, extra products (not via OTA) are non-commissionable but will still be counted for commission rate.
    A tickbox Comm/Non Comm will solve this and provide more accurate commission overviews to support invoicing and business intelligence.

  5. We can´t define a specific accounting category for canceled items for deposits or hardcoded city tax. The accounting category is taken from the Canceled item accounting category defined in the Bookable service. But deposits and city taxes are usually having different accounting categories than nights.

  6. I have a comment regarding the possibility of grouping billing items by month.

    I really like this option, but it has a small flaw that should be corrected.

    The tourist tax is not linked to the night, but is charged the next day.

    The tourist tax + the night should be classified together.

    For example, for a stay straddling January and February 2022:
    17 nights in January for only 16 tourist taxes
    11 nights in February for 12 tourist taxes, the one of 31/01/22 appearing in the February invoice

  7. As we can have charged cancellations, we often let a room checked-in with 0 guest in house to keep a high occupancy rate even if the room is empty.
    Currently, it is not possible to put less than one guest per room, so the city tax is posted and the reports are false.

    Hello from the Mews product team. 


    Unfortunately, this request has not received the necessary upvotes to be added to the Mews development roadmap and is unlikely to be delivered. 


    Thank you for sharing your suggestions.

  8. Include payment method "guest will pay at check-in by debitcard, creditcard or cash" - "invoice to the company for all costs" - invoice to company for roomnight, breakfast and city taxes" Should be visible for receptionist and should be shown on the confirmation.

  9. Allow each property to setup and modify their own taxes rather than have Mews hard code these taxes into the system. US taxes are complicated with local, city, county, state, TBID, tourism and other taxes that change independently from each other. This aligns with channel manager setups. Additionally, have the ability to create tax periods for all taxes i.e. start date, end date so that the system can properly tax reservations that cross a tax period change. Have the liability sit with the property administrator who receives notification of future changes and should be held responsible for these changes. This…

  10. When a rate group is created and the Automatic Deposit Settlement is default in the US, this creates a revenue items for taxation purposes. This is not used in the US and should not be the default setting. The Option of "Automatic Deposit Settlement" is regionally specific and not global. I believe this "Option" should remain an Option and not the default. This really confusing properties that are setting up rate groups. See help guide on this topic: *Note for properties in the United States, Australia and New Zealand: Do not select this feature, as you are not legally required…

  11. I shouldn't have to create a separate adjustments account for each type of adjustment. If a night has already closed, and then the rate needed to be adjusted by a supervisor because of an error, then their adjustment should be just a Rate Adjustment - automatically contributing to room revenue. I shouldn't have to use the billing tab to then manually calculate rate vs tax breakdown, and post a separate "unbookable service" etc.

    Also, refunds / adjustments should be able to be posted to the specific reservations even if they are closed out already. It should be possible to open…

  12. It would be really helpful if, on the billing tab, you can include the rate vs tax breakdown when we expand a billing item. It is causing our staff to be confused when posting adjustments and we are, as a result, paying close to $1000 in taxes more than what we collect for most of our properties.

  13. Is it possible to set up different tax rules by room type or rate plan? I am not seeing that we can alter our tax settings, but we need this functionality. We have certain third party TA's that are collecting and remitting part of the occupancy tax, so we need the ability to designate which taxes should be applied to any given rate plan and/or room type.

  14. In order to reduce the Check In Queue, we would like to give our customers the opportunity to pay their pending City Tax and additional costs in advance.

    We figured sending an automatic payment request link 2 days in advance would be a good solution for that, but as is, there's no possibility to send out requests in bulk, nor automatically.

    Another issue might be that reservations using Virtual Cards would still have the entire amount outstanding, so it would need to be able to recognize that.

  15. Exclude (or separate) non-revenue form the manager reports totals. City tax (or any others) an payments are now included in the revenue totals while it isn’t revenue.

  16. Allowing to group the same products together on a bill would make it clearer for the guest. For example, if a guest stays for 15 days, his invoice will include 15 times the 'local tax' product making the invoice lengthy and not easy to read.
    It would be better to simply display local tax x 15, for example.
    It could maybe be set for specific products when configuring them.

  17. MEWS calculates prices with and without VAT per product and presents them per product on the invoice.

    At the end of the invoice MEWS presents the summary of the prices with and without VAT per VAT.

    On huge invoices the calculated and presented total price without VAT is not the same as the summary of the presented prices without VAT per product due rounding differences.

    Guests/companies/ accounting are complaining about this.

    THEREFORE PLEASE ADJUST and do not present the price per product without VAT per product. (only VAT in %, amount and price with VAT)

    OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
    Show VAT &…

  18. Hello,
    I love using your system it's really simple and effective.

    Just one suggestion maybe: when we had elements on a reservation (breakfast, city tax, half board etc...) it would be nice to have an option to select the dates we want them to be charged. At the moment, it charges them automatically for the all stay and we have to cancel the lines we don't need one by one (for example for a customer that stays 5 nights but wants breakfast only one day).

    Best regards.

  19. Create a possibility to select

    Rate - Default Rate tax rate
    Product - Default Product tax rate
    Deposit - Default deposit tax rate
    CancellationFee - CNX fee tax rate
    NoShowFee - No-Show fee tax rate
    on the Service entity.

    Use a multi-value just like on Accounting setup of enterprise.

  20. We should have a unified solution for updating the cost of items that are outside of EHW or closed on a bill. For example in some Legal Environments, taxes are applied based on the length of reservation. Upon the change of length, taxes should be updated on all nights.
    This should be somehow reflected in reports and values such as average night rate etc.

    Hello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this request will not be added to the Mews development roadmap and is unlikely to be delivered.

    The reason for this is that we need to handle changes of taxes with correctional items and not by overwriting already posted and in some cases reported items.

    Thank you for sharing your suggestions.
