Enhancements

Deleting bills and tasks once added to invoice [2852]

• Previously it was possible to delete a bill or task after it had been added to an invoice.  This could result in bill or task being included on an invoice which no longer exists on the system.  This can be particularly confusing when generating statements.  It's no longer possible to delete a bill or task once it has been added to an invoice.  If a bill or task needs to be deleted it will need to be removed from the invoice first.

Alerts when enquiry hold expires [3413]

• If you use the new timed hold feature to have a hold on a property automatically epire after a fixed amount of time, it's now possible to send out an alert email automatically.  You can create an alert for enquires by using the document type "Alerts Enquiry" in the Alerts & Reminders section of the CMS.  These can be used to send out an alert email a number of hours before or after a hold has been released, or at the time that the hold is released.   Tags are automatically added to an enquiry to show how long the hold was applied for and you can manually add any other tags which you have defined on your system.  The tags can be used to determine if an alert is sent for a particular enquiry.

Push Rates API [3561]

• A new API is available which allows you to add or update rates on a property.  See the guide for more details.

Additional details in the rates API [3595]

• Additional fields have been added to the rates API giving more details about the price.  In additional to the rental cost, the API now also gives you the cost of the booking fee and any extras configures as in list price.  A display price is also given which is the rental cost + the booking fee + the in list price extras.  See the guide for more details.
