PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
Taxes: Posting Accounts Now Consider Date Range Tax Parameter
If a tax charge code has a new date range parameter associated with it, when the charge code is posted, it will check the date range rule as well as the current business date and post the amount with the correct tax for that date range.
Example:
A posting account is opened for 4 months (January 1 to April 30)
During the month of February, a tax change occurs, changing the tax from 7% to 10%
The date range rule is added to the tax charge code
From the posting account, you will notice the following:
In January, March, and April, any charge code posted has the 7% tax breakdown
In February, any charge code posted has the 10% tax breakdown
Add-Ons Now Update When Changing Rates on Groups
Stayntouch PMS now updates add-ons when a group rate is changed or existing rates are updated. If during the update of an existing reservation, item inventory for the add-on is exceeded, the following popup window will display:
