PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
Account Transactions Screen: Select and Move All Transactions from All Pages
Previously, when you clicked the Select All button and tried to move charges from Front Desk > Accounts > Transactions Tab, only transactions on the first page were selected. To select transactions on another page, you had to select all page by page. Now, upon clicking the Select All button and then the move charges button, you will be prompted with the option to select a checkbox to MOVE ALL # CHARGES INSTEAD?.
When only a few transactions are selected for moving, Stayntouch PMS will count the number of transactions and confirm the move of the selected transactions.

The following scheduled reports are available for export in PDF format from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Reports > + NEW REPORT SCHEDULE > Schedule Parameters > FILE FORMAT.

Financial Transaction – Payment Report
We have added a new report to Reports > New Report called the Financial Transaction – Payment Report. This report records all payment transactions for the selected date range.

Financial Transaction – Summary Report
We have added a new report to Reports > New Report called the Financial Transaction – Summary Report. This report records all financial transactions in all ledgers for the selected date.
Custom Exports: Flagged Guest Added to Guests Dataspace
You can now choose FLAGGED GUEST and FLAGGED REASON from the Select Fields section upon generating a Guests dataspace custom export from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Custom Exports > + NEW EXPORT > Guests. In the custom export itself, the value in the FLAGGED GUEST column will display as YES or NO for the guest.
Furthermore, from the Set Filters section, if you click + ADD FILTER and select Options, you can select Flagged Guest from the FIELD NAME dropdown menu. You can then choose from the OPTIONS of Yes or No, which will filter guests by flagged or not flagged on the custom export.
Sort A/R Invoices
You can now sort A/R invoices from Financials > Accounts Receivables > Select Account > A/R Transactions Tab. We’ve added a SORT BY dropdown menu next to the search bar that allows you to sort by the following options:
AGING DATE (Default): In the statement, this is referred to as the date of charge.
INVOICE # (Ascending)
A/R INVOICE # (Ascending)
NAME (Ascending)
The sort options apply to the OPEN BILLS and PAID BILLS sections of the A/R Transactions tab as well as printed statements in those sections.
Updates to Comtrol Messages
Groups
We have made changes to some of the data that are sent to external systems via the connection to Comtrol. Now as a part of guest transactions that are with a group, we will send the group’s ID and name to the external system. This allows systems like phone interfaces that offer group features to use these additional data elements.
Non-Room Charges
For Point of Sale (POS) systems that support sending non-room charge data to the PMS (cash or credit card payments), we have updated the logic to support the messages that are sent. (Currently, there is a limited number of POS systems that send this data via Comtrol.)
SNT Rover iPad App Upgrade
SNT Rover iPad App 2.2.1 version has been released to the App Store. This now includes MagTek library upgraded to 140, which has addressed the MagTek iDynamo credit card swipe device disconnection issue.
