- A Hotel Admin user can now navigate to another hotel from within the Settings area, assuming the user has been granted Multi-Property access.
- We have made a change to the Amadeus S&C (Delphi) integration that allows hotels to set a rate code on a group in Stayntouch PMS, even if the group was created via Delphi.
- Sell limits set on a room type level are now sent to D-Edge. Inventory count sent to D-Edge will reflect the inventory plus the sell limit.
Product Enhancements
Budgets: Filter Charge Code By Charge Code Type
From Financials > Budgets, you can now filter charge codes by charge code type from the CHARGE CODE TYPE dropdown filter. With this filter, all charge codes associated with a charge code type will be displayed. The budget totals will be updated accordingly to reflect the filtered amounts.
Items to Note:
- Only charge code types in the budget will be displayed in the dropdown filter.
- When switching from month to day or day to month, the filter will remain and totals will remain accurate
- The filter only displays when the BUDGETING FOR dropdown is set to Charge Codes.
Hotel Admin Users Can Navigate To Other Hotels From Menu
A Hotel Admin user can now navigate to another hotel from within the Settings area, assuming the user has been granted Multi-Property access. The user will be shown a list of hotels to which they have been granted access, and upon selecting a hotel, they will be directed to that hotel’s dashboard. Furthermore, if Chain Admin user access has been granted, the user can also navigate back to the Multi-Property dashboard.
Service Provider Dashboard View
We’ve created a new service provider dashboard for service provider users (i.e., users with access to multiple hotels across multiple chains) in which all hotels for that service provider are displayed on the dashboard. The service provider user is then able to click into any hotel and will be directed to the hotel’s PMS.
Please note, these users simply need to click “view all your properties”—the search bar is to be used for users that want to go directly into a hotel or Multi-Property dashboard, which was existing functionality.
From this dashboard, we’ve added a search bar (search by name, city, or country), CHAINS filter, PROPERTY GROUP filter, and SORTED BY filter (sort by Name A-Z, Name Z-A, Occupancy ASC, Occupancy DESC, or BAR ASC).
Amadeus S&C (Delphi) Integration & Rate Code In Groups
We have made a change to the Amadeus S&C (Delphi) integration that allows hotels to set a rate code on a group in Stayntouch PMS, even if the group was created via Delphi. Once there is a rate code attached to a group, no rate updates from Delphi are applied, but the rate will stay as defined in the rate code. All other updates are applied as sent by Delphi—only rate amounts are ignored. This is to allow hotels to set restrictions in the rate code level for groups, as well.
D-Edge Integration: Room Type Sell Limits
Sell limits set on a room type level are now sent to D-Edge. Inventory count sent to D-Edge will reflect the inventory plus the sell limit.
Connect API Updates
Updated Date Added to GET/Groups and GET/Groups/{id}
As requested by vendors, we have added the update date in the API calls that are used to fetch the group data.
New API: Fetch Selected Payment Method For A Specific Reservation
The new “GET/reservations/{id}/selected_payment_method” API allows vendors to receive the payment type that has been selected for a reservation. This is required if multiple payment types are attached to a reservation and the vendor needs to know which one to use.
