PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
Manage Allotments: Applied Filter Will Not Reset Upon Selecting an Allotment and Returning to Results Screen
Previously when a filter was applied to a list of allotments, and you selected an allotment, upon returning to the list of allotments, the filter reset. Stayntouch PMS now keeps the filter applied upon selecting an allotment and returning to the list of allotments. Furthermore, you will now also be directed back to the same page of results you were previously viewing.
Cancellation & No Show Report Added to Scheduled Reports
We added the Cancellation & No Show Report to Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Reports. The report is available in CSV format.
Tax Exempt Report Exportable from Reports Inbox
The Tax Exempt Report is now exportable in CSV format from Reports > Reports Inbox.
Availability Screen: BAR Per Room Type Now Clickable
You can now click on the BAR per room type from the Availability screen, which will redirect you to the reservation creation screen. As part of this functionality, when you expand the BAR on the Availability screen, Stayntouch PMS will show the BAR per room type, and the room type/date combinations will be selectable and will navigate to the reservation creation screen. Upon redirection, the arrival date/room type combination will be preselected based on the date/room type combination selected on the Availability screen. Reservation creation will then proceed as normal.
Bill Identifiers Added to Guest Bill
We’ve added bill identifiers to the guest bill. Each bill tab will now have a respective entity icon, making it easier to identify which bills belong to the guest and which bills belong to a Company or Travel Agent.
ProForma Invoice Now Considers Routing Instructions
The ProForma Invoice now considers routing instructions when making bill projections. As part of this functionality, the following will apply:
Bill #1 will always exclude routed charges.
Company/Travel Agent attached bill will always show the incoming routed charges only.
All bills will show complete projected charges if there are no billing instructions.
The invoice will show the charge amount based on billing instructions with or without split.
Without Routing
With Routing
Routing for Company/Travel Agent
File Format Selection for Journal Export When GoBD Export Is Enabled
If the GoBD Export is enabled for your hotel by Stayntouch Admin, you can now select a FILE FORMAT when generating the Journal Export from Settings > Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Exports. Currently, you can select CSV format; however, in the future, you will also be able to select XML format if desired, at which point the XML and DTD files will be generated.
This feature is not available if the GoBD Export is not enabled for your hotel.
Improvement to Show Invoice Number Toggle
If the PRINT INVOICE NUMBER toggle is turned ON from Settings > Financials > Financial Settings, Stayntouch PMS will display all invoice types (Information Invoice, ProForma Invoice, Final Invoice, etc.). If the toggle is turned OFF, Stayntouch PMS will not display these invoices.
Stayntouch Guest Mobility/Kiosk: Auto Invoice Email at Check-Out
We’ve added a new AUTO EMAIL INVOICE toggle to Settings > Zest > Check Out, which will be turned OFF by default. Once turned ON, this feature will apply to both Stayntouch Guest Mobility and Stayntouch Guest Kiosk applications and will trigger an email to companies with A/R facilities.
Stayntouch Guest Mobility/Kiosk: Automatic Bill Email
When the AUTO EMAIL INVOICE toggle is turned ON from Settings > Zest > Check Out, Stayntouch PMS will automatically email an invoice to the email address indicated on the A/R card. Please note, if there is not an email address provided on the A/R card, no email will be sent.
