Release notes for 28th Nov 2017 (1.16.0):


Sales

Improvement: Sales Invoices - We have made it easier to manually add Sales Invoices to a booking. When selecting the booking room stay to associate the invoice line item with, we now show only the room stays for this booking making it very quick.

Improvement: Channel Settings - Channels. We have introduced VAT profiles for commission, previously it always applied standard VAT to all commission invoices. Now you can select the VAT profile to be associated with the channel commission. For example Booking.com does not have VAT on their commission so this would be set to the Zero VAT profile.

Operations

Improvement: Key Set - Now when you mark a key as missing it can trigger a notification via email to alert the operations team. The email notification is set in Admin - System Configuration - Notifications Tab. It is sent to the operations email - if this email is blank no notification will be sent.

Improvement: Operations Grid - We have removed the mandatory search fields so you can now select any criteria. We have introduced a new slider to include team members where a Team is selected, which now allows all Housekeeping activities to be shown where they are assigned to the Team 'housekeeping' or directly to an individual who is part of that team.

 

Improvement: Activities - We now show the number of guests on a Cleaning Activity


Improvement: Activity Types - Categories. A category for an Activity Type (Admin → Operation Settings - Activity Types) has been introduced. This is used in other parts of the system to identify the type of Activites, for example the housekeeping report can now show just cleans by checking for Activity Types of Cleaning.


Properties

Improvement: Unit Contracts -  A new commission Fixed Fee Frequency of 'Per Booking' is introduced to allow you to add a commission on every booking rather on the total revenue for the period.




Improvement: Units - We now show the last 12-months of bookings in a Unit in a new 'Bookings' tab. This is another way of getting to a booking or seeing the volume of bookings in a Unit.

Finance:

Improvement: Sales Invoice - When creating a manual invoice via Finance - Sales Invoices - Add Sales Invoices. We no longer require a room stay to be associated with an invoice line item when it's added from the Finance screen. Therefore allowing Sales Invoices to be generated that are not relate to a booking.

Reporting:

Improvement: Landlords Report with Commission - Now includes Purchase Invoices raised against a Unit within a Unit Contract

Improvement: Operations - Housekeeping reports (standard, 10 day, 14 day reports) This report has been upgraded to show SVC for only activities that have been given the Category of CLEANING. Previously the report would have show any Activities assigned to a Unit. This allows the report to be limited to Housekeeping Activities and not all activities.
