  2. It is extremely useful to qualify Resource Dirty / Clean / Inspected States with occupancy status.
    As it is to resolve occupancy Status, reservation’s arrival and departure dates must be queried for the Resource against current date.
    If the current date falls within arrival and departure then the occupancy can be resolved by Reservation State
    Started means occupied, anything else means vacant.
    Is there a simpler way to do it?
    Could it be included in the Resource response?

  4. When adding and fetching availability blocks data from Mews via the Connector API, it seems that the CompanyId parameter is missing from the Availability Blocks object, which can be a problem when trying to sync all data and/or when trying to filter or sort availability blocks by Company. Often times, the availability blocks are related to corporate contracts and therefore it is important that a third party system is able to link availability blocks in Mews to a company. Having this possibility also allows the property to fully utilise Mews as the centre of truth when it comes to customer/company…

  5. Right now, one can fetch all products that have been created/set up under a Bookable or an Additional Service in Mews.

    All information are returned, except for the Accounting Category that has been assigned to the product.

    This creates additional manual work where the property will have to set up the accounting category mapping twice (once in Mews and again in the 3rd party platform - e.g. an Upselling solution), and keep that manually updated in both, or the user has to omit the accounting category setting in the Product in Mews and use the 3rd party platform as the…

  7. As per OPTIONS available to Mews UI company can be made INVOICEABLE. This information is not available in Connector API for "get", "add", "update".

    When company masterdata is stored outside of Mews (and in masterdata layer credit check is performed on company to decide if it is invoiceable or not) it is not possible to fully keep them in synch.

  9. It would be great if we could get the Confirmed Date from a Reservation out of the API. Mews shows this in their own report(s), but it's not available in the Connector API.

  11. Parallel as to the "old" OTA_HotelInvBlockNotifRQ XML messages an availability/grouo block should have information:

    • count: how many rooms are blocked for that group block for each day and each roomtype
    • picked: how many rooms are already reserved for that group block for each day and each roomtype
    • [and maybe also] daily rate: what is the rate for each roomtype per day (per number of persons)

  14. This task would be to expose a new flag in the

    https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/finance#get-all-bills

    API Endpoint that would determine whether a particular bill item originated from POS.

    You may need to have this flag set to true when items are pushed into Mews.

    What's our Use Case?

    We want to be able to retrieve bill items that have originated in POS to Mews and we'll use Mews' interface to receive this information.

    However, we only want POS specific items, other items not originating from POS we don't want.

    Alternatively, there may be an option to get a list of interfaces that the…

  15. Having the Mews Connector working even with Apple devices. To have the fiscal printer connected to Mews, we had to install windows for Mac, and it really slows down the system. I guess many other hoteliers use Apple devices.

  16. When retrieving reservations with the 'Resources' extent the inactive spaces are not included in the response. This means an additional call to resources/getAll to retrieve also the inactive resources.

    Adding the inactive resources to reservations/getAll would circumvent this.

  18. External systems that have group room blocks typically allow groups to go through a series of statuses that determine whether the blocked rooms should be taken from inventory. This is important as once a hotel promises a number of rooms to a group, it has to make good on that promise.

    With the way availability is updated in Mews currently, space categories can be overblocked and cause our users to fail to have all promised rooms available for their guests.

    Example:

    1. Hotel has space category "King Villa" with 10 rooms available for every day in July

    2. External system creates an…

  19. Hi,
    currently outlets have only 3 properties - Id, IsActive and Name. We would utilize one more property named 'ExternalCode' that would make mapping of POS system revenue centers to Mews outlets easier. Currently we need to rely on using the same name of both sides, which is prone to typo error. It could be more reliable if there can be some configurable external numeric code available on Mews side for mapping.

  20. When a POS is sending a product to post in Mews, the product must have an accounting category in the POS and Mews. If there is no accounting category set in POS, then the item as well as any other items in the Cart are not posted in Mews.

    In other POS systems, if an accounting category is accidentally not created in the POS, the PMS will accept the product as well as the full cart of items but place the item in a "None" category or "Uncategorized", allowing the charge. Similar to what Channel Managers do with Mews. If…
