PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS

Tax Per Line Item: A/R Transactions


To comply with legal requirements in certain countries, we’ve introduced a TAX PER LINE ITEM setting that can be toggled ON/OFF from Financials > Financial Settings. This will present tax on each individual revenue line item on the invoices generated from Financials > Accounts Receivable > Select Account > A/R Transactions as well as the A/R Invoice and Copy of A/R Invoice.


Tax will also display on each individual revenue line item for invoices generated for direct bill settlement. Payments are excluded from the display.



The following columns will appear on the invoices mentioned above when the TAX PER LINE ITEM setting is enabled. The column headings can be translated, as well. To set up translations, please contact Customer Support.

  • Date of Charge

  • Quantity

  • Charge Description

  • Unit Net

  • Net

  • Amount/Percentage

  • Tax

  • Total






Note:

  • Tax per line item and multi currency settings should not be activated for the same property. When using multi currency, only standard invoice templates should be used. The tax per line item setting must be disabled. 

  • The tax per line item changes for front office invoices will only apply to the Detailed Bill, Detailed Bill – Items, and ProForma Invoice. 

  • Summary by charge code and summary by day are excluded from the tax per line item display.

Add-Ons Linked to Rates (Include in Price or Add to Price) Cannot Be Marked As Reservation Only


If an add-on is linked to a rate, either as Include in price or Add to price, users will not be able to mark the add-on as Reservation Only from Settings > Rates > Add-Ons. Users will have to unlink the add-on from all rates in Settings > Rates > Rates before the add on can be marked as Reservation Only.





If a user attempts to mark an add-on as Reservation Only from Settings > Rates > Add-Ons, upon trying to save their changes, they will receive a red warning message that reads, “Add-on is linked to a rate/s, cannot mark as reservation only. Remove add-on from all rates to proceed.”




Furthermore, from Settings > Rates > Add-Ons, we’ve added supporting text to the Manual Posting Only checkbox. It now reads Manual Posting Only (Does not post during EOD). If this checkbox is selected, the add-on will not post during the End of Day process. Moreover, the add-on will not show on the ProForma invoice, as the user can link them to the reservation, but it will not auto charge the add-on. Please note, the feature functionality did not change; the text was simply added to inform users of the intended behavior of this feature.


Departure Report Exportable Via CSV


When the Departure Report is generated from Reports > New Report > Departure Report, it can now be exported via CSV from Reports > Reports Inbox.





The same also applies to the scheduled report version of the Departure Report from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Reports > + NEW REPORT SCHEDULE > Departure Report. From the Schedule Parameters column, you’ll see the option to select a FILE FORMAT of CSV or PDF. When CSV is selected, you can then choose to select INCLUDE CSV HEADER. The CSV headers will be Hotel Code, Hotel Name, Generated Date, Generated Time, and Report Name.




In-House Guests Report Exportable Via CSV


When the In-House Guests Report is generated from Reports > New Report > In-House Guests Report, it can now be exported via CSV from Reports > Reports Inbox.





The same also applies to the scheduled report version of the In-House Guests Report from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Reports > + NEW REPORT SCHEDULE > In-House Guests Report. From the Schedule Parameters column, you’ll see the option to select a FILE FORMAT of CSV or PDF. When CSV is selected, you can then choose to select INCLUDE CSV HEADER. The CSV headers will be Hotel Code, Hotel Name, Generated Date, Generated Time, and Report Name.
