  2. Es wäre super einen zusätzlichen Filter im Marketplace zu haben, um in den jeweiligen Kategorien noch feiner zu sortieren. Z.b. in 'Gebäudemanagement' nur die Schlüsselsysteme zu finden.
    In der Kategorie 'Gebäudemanagement' sind eine Vielzahl mehr Themen und es ist wirklich schwer entsprechende Anwendungen rauszufinden.

  3. In addition to the "Connector API: Settlement Rules" request (see link), it would be really helpful to see the details of all planned and triggered settlement rules per reservation.

    So we could more accurately inform the guests how and when their payment will be settled and charge them immediately if an already triggered settlement request has failed.

  4. It would be great to have a API call that allows, changing of status of a tasks or at least to close a task.
    when using tasks for automations having a status that could be change in the API would make the process much more reliable.

  5. In the Rates API, I can search by "ExternalIdentifier", which is "Rate key" in the UI.

    Under Space Category in the UI, I also have a "Space category key", which, however, is NOT searchable by "ExternalIdentifier" in Resource(Categories)/GetAll.

    This seems odd to me, because I can only imagine that that is there for the same intended purpose as with "Rate key". However, it is not implemented. Could this be implemented, please?

  6. Problem description:

    When we are getting a 403 Forbidden response, we only have the error message to go on about what the actual issue is. This can be an invalid rate plan or Mews being busy for a minute.

    As documented (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/guidelines/responses#response-codes), these error messages are translated in the client language, so these can be displayed to the end user.

    For example the 403 Forbidden response on /rates/updatePrice can be this:

    {
    "Message": "Une autre opération est en cours. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques secondes.",
    "DebugDetails": null,
    "Details": null
    }

    This message contains no machine readable information about the…

  7. With the current endpoints we can pull all available rates. However, some of the rates are restricted, which we only know about when creating reservation.
    Ideally, Mews would provide an endpoint with takes restrictions into account, so only actual available rates are provided.

  8. Our demo environment that we use for testing purposes is full of rates created from availability blocks. We should have the possibility, at least in staging environments, to delete the rates (via the API or a mass delete feature in the UI).

  9. Both services/getAvailability and rates/getPricing support one single ServiceId parameter.
    Extending them to support multiple ServiceIds would lower number of API calls and help to minimize 429 error. Too many requests, when the limits are "used"

  12. we are retrieving reservation data and are looking for the attached products.
    Currently, we use /reservations/getAll and extend the items:true. Thin gets us Items with SubType (ProductOrder/SpaceOrder) or Type (ProductRevenue/ServiceRevenue). We are only interested in the Product-reated items.
    to save resources we would appreciate either an extra endpoint /items/getAll (equivalent to /accountingItems/getAll ) with the possibility of filtering those Items after SubType (ProductOrder/SpaceOrder) or Type (ProductRevenue/ServiceRevenue) and reservationIDs or even better a filtering for Type/Subtype in the reservations/getAll endpoint.

  13. Atm it's not possible to move any position with a value of 0 to an open bill. Since we customize our bills in another way as Mews usually does, we need to move all reservation items to an open bill. This way we can pay all reservation items, close the bill, checkout the reservation and receive a pdf in the end.

    Some of our hotels place 0 value positions on their reservations as reminders. Atm it's not possible to checkout those reservations, since not all reservation items get on the same bill and therefore we cannot "pay" all reservation items.

  15. Currently, an integration partner that uses group block data (such as Revenue Management Systems, Event Management Systems, Central Reservation Systems, etc.) needs to poll "availabilityBlocks/getAll" at a scheduled interval and are not able to sync availability blocks in real time.
    In order such integration partners to follow the best practices (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/guidelines/best-practices), they need the general webhooks expanded with new availability block-based events notifying the partners when:
    - an availability block has been created
    - an availability block has been updated
    - an availability block has been deleted
    - an availability block's service availability has changed

  16. When we use the endpoint /api/connector/v1/reservations/price (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/reservations#price-reservations) the output does not contains the full details but only the taxes.

    It would be nice to be able to retrieve the details of which rules/products have been applied and the amount associated, directly in the output.

    For example, if a hotel apply resort fees using the rule system, retrieving only taxes and total amont is not enough to display the full details of the calculation. Currently to display it we need to fetch all rules and manually check if rule should be applied or not. And do a "revert engineering"…

  17. Currently, block reservations are not transferred to other systems. Systems such as Fairmas or RMS cannot see the blocks until a list of names is entered and the actual reservation number for each single reservation is generated by MEWS. This distorts P/U and open pricing. The problem could be solved by also giving a block a reservation number.

  18. In the information that Mews sends, the booking reference of the BtoB client should be added.

    Indeed, when transmitting an invoice to the BtoB client in order to post the invoice, the BtoB client needs its booking reference. Without this information there is no way for them to post the invoice. This is an obligation for most of the BtoB clients such as HotelBeds, Bookings, Webbeds...

    Nowadays the booking reference information is only included into the API when the invoice is linked to a reservation.

    Nevertheless, Mews allows to create bills to correct invoices. In those cases, no booking reference…

  19. In the MEWS interface you can see the Reason for State of a resource. However this isn't available in the API. Could this be added?
