Functions

• Function Invoices can now be zeroed out for correction purposes. Zero invoices can be settled as per normal.

Stock Control

• Purchase Requisition Transaction Codes can now be adjusted after a Requisition has been approved, the same as on fill.

Activities

• Fixed an issue where a new Activity created via Booking Chart would not use the Default Rate.
• Fixed an issue when trying to room charge to a different folio than the one linked to the Activity where the original folio was checked out but it would prevent charging to the new folio which was in-house.

POS Touch

• Added new POS command type to flag items as temporarily unavailable or sold out. When used, the item’s button will be visibly marked as Sold Out and users will not be able to add this item to a check until it is made available again. By default, when applied through POS, items will be unavailable until midnight that night. This option must be added to the menu setup as a command button before it can be used. The item’s sold out status can also be changed through Menu Maintenance.
• Added a rounding option for POS to apply rounding to credit card transactions. This uses the cash rounding amount and can be found with the existing cash rounding field in Menu Maintenance.
• Added additional fields Created By and Settled By for Checks. These can be added to the check docket template like other fields. These fields will automatically record the name of the Waiter who created and closed the check respectively.

Other

• Web Bookings from all channels will now correctly use the system default arrival time unless one is provided.

• Added an option to attach documents (max 10mb) to Front Office bookings, including both FIT and Group attachments. This option can be found in a new tab in the Booking screens named Attachments.

This will allow you to record the time and description of the event, and will automatically record details of who has created/completed it and when. These events can also be flagged as completed at any time and filtered down by any of the fields.
• Fixed an issue where Room Requests and Standard Requests would not populate on profiles that had none added already.
• Added an option to Front Office Configuration, Print Adv Dep Detail on Invoice, to display payment and credit card surcharge detail in place of applied deposit amounts on the guest Invoice print only.

Activities

• The Activity times in Activity Bookings are now split into multiple columns allowing sorting on either time or name individually.

Other

• Added two alternative colour schemes to Maxial Premium, MaxialSilver and MaxialGold. This option can be selected from the Hotel Setup menu under Hotel Configuration. This is currently a work in progress as some areas of the application may not yet correctly apply the colour scheme. This will apply hotel to hotel, so all users logging into one hotel will see the same scheme.
• All users can now temporarily lock their Maxial clients using the Lock User link on the main screen. This will require the user to input their password again to unlock, or otherwise log out entirely.
