Important Update

 

Implement a three-year window on MyPMS Reservations We need to limit how far reservations can be entered into MyPMS. The current consensus is three (3) years.We need the 4 areas where dates can be chosen to restrict the Arrival date to no more than 3 years form current date:

 

1) Bookings area: Tape Chart, Avail Chart, and the Edit tab of a Booking

 

2) Group Booking: Group Booking Wizard page 2 and the Edit tab of the Group Booking


Featured Enhancement

  • Tax Transactions Report "line item" all the taxable items. It will model the "Transactions" Report, but report just the taxable fields (versus all fields).Unlike the Transaction report, the Tax Transactions report will report NOT need Credit Card and Non Credit Card. It will also report ONLY on taxable items. Like the other story mentioned (for example), if "Cleaning Fee" if not taxable, "Cleaning Fee" will not be listed on this Tax Transaction report. On the other hand, "Room Rent" is often taxable and non-taxable (for tax exempt). In this case, the report will only pull the taxable room rent.

    • Session the TC so it stays on the same date. After making new booking from Tape Chart, the
    • Sort Arrival, in house, and departure drop downs If we could place a sort feature on the 3 drop downs: Arrival, in house, and departure to enable sort by Last Name AND Room #, this would be very helpful.  Right now it only does LastName.
