MEWS Integration Tiers

Accounts Receivable (A/R) entries refer to revenues consumed by already checked-out guests who have not yet paid for their open bill (invoice). Debtor account information is also part of Accounts Receivable entries.

In case you wish A/R entries to be transferred from MEWS PMS to your accounting platform and in case A/R entries are available within the accounting connection, your Omniboost representative can enable the A/R feature for your property.

By default, Omniboost accounting connections transfer Revenue Entries in an aggregated way (based on the Accounting Category level). It is also possible to transfer MEWS Revenue entries into your accounting platform in a more detailed way.

Please discuss with your Omniboost representative whether the Detailed Revenue Entry feature is available in your accounting connection. Enabling this option will provide you with deeper insights into your revenue streams coming from the PMS.

By default, Omniboost accounting connections transfer Payment Entries in an aggregated way (based on the Accounting Category level). It is also possible to transfer MEWS Payment entries into your accounting platform in a more detailed way.

Please discuss with your Omniboost representative whether the Detailed Payment Entry feature is available in your accounting connection. Enabling this option will provide you with deeper insights into your Payment streams coming from the PMS.

Credit Card providers (for example Visa, Mastercard, etc.) charge small percentage fees on credit card transactions that they process. Credit Card payments in the MEWS Accounting Report to which these fees apply, can therefore be considered as gross Payment amounts. The actual Payment amount that you will receive on your bank account, is slightly smaller than this gross Payment amount.

Gross payment amount = Net Payment amount (as received on your bank account) + Credit Card fees

The Omniboost accounting connection is able to split out credit card fees from the gross Payment amounts and to post these credit card fees on a ledger account code specified by you. Please discuss with your Omniboost representative whether the Credit Card Fee Split feature is available in your accounting connection.

Please note that the credit card fees sent over by the Omniboost accounting integration, are estimates of the actual commission fees. Therefore, the final commission fees can differ slightly from the estimated credit card commission fees.

Omniboost connections are able to pull a range of Statistical entries from your MEWS environment. Think about typical Statistical entries used in the Hospitality industry such as Number of Guests, Number of Rooms, and Number of Arrivals.

Please discuss with your Omniboost representative whether and which Statistics entries are available in your connection.

Sometimes, accounting environments are setup in such a way that a deep mapping of Ledger Account codes, Cost Center codes, and additional entry breakdown elements are required in the data transfer from the PMS to the accounting system.

At Omniboost we see that the very majority of our clients are able to work with the mapping availabilities within MEWS PMS itself. In case you require a mapping structure on top of the mapping availability in the PMS, please discuss so with your Omniboost representative.

Omniboost wants to make the reconciliation between Payment entries from the PMS and the Payment entries as received on your bank account, as easy as possible.

In case Payment amounts from the PMS alone are not sufficient for you to reconcile Payment entries, then feel free to reach out to your Omniboost representative. Together we can discuss the options to include additional Payment information from the PMS that would help you in the reconciliation process.

Omniboost's Onboarding- and Support teams are happy to assist you with any questions after go-live of your (accounting) connection. Feel free to reach out to and schedule a meeting with one of Omniboost's experts.

Sometimes, an extra piece of documentation is of great convenience to your hotel's (Accounting) teams. Omniboost is happy to hear and understand your specific documentation needs. Please discuss the details of your documentation requirements with your Omniboost representative.

Omniboost accounting connections are able to send over historical data from MEWS PMS to your accounting environment.

Bronze:
Available for the past 30 days where the offset date is the connection go-live date .

Silver:
Available for the past 90 days where the offset date is both the connection go-live date and at any date once the connection is live.

Gold:
Available for the past 365 days where the offset date is both the connection go-live date and at any date once the connection is live.

The daily entries sent to your accounting platform are based on a 24-hour time period. The default time period, which is set within Omniboost connections, ranges from 00:00AM < > 00:00AM. We also refer to this time period as the 'End of Day' or 'EOD'. 

It might be that a different End of Day better suites your hotel's accounting operations. Omniboost is able to adjust the default time period range as long as the time period stays 24 hours. For example, the time period (= End of Day) can be adjusted to 02:00AM < > 02:00AM or 04:00AM < > 04:00AM. 

Omniboost specifically asks you to provide your preferred End of Day during the onboarding process of your accounting connection. Any changes to the End of Day after the accounting connection go-live can be accommodated by Omniboost, with certain remarks per Tier:

Bronze:
End of Day adjustment requests can be accommodated against a one-time fee. 

Silver: 
End of Day adjustment requests can be accommodated without additional fees. 

Gold: 
End of Day adjustment requests can be accommodated without additional fees. 

The way in which (accounting) entries between your PMS and accounting environments can be reconciled, is explained by your Omniboost representative during the Onboarding process. 

In case additional questions arise on how to reconcile your entries, Omniboost's Onboarding- and Support teams are happy to assist. Feel free to reach out to and schedule a meeting with one of Omniboost's experts.
