Upon Check out allowing a direct bill to be added without having to go back to the Guest Info screen and adding a company profil 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
This would allow the user to select direct bill at check out without a company profile having been entered.
The ability to Correct off an Adjustment made the same day 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
In the event you accidentally adjust the wrong amount, an ability to make a correction so that the guest does not see your error and you can readjust the right amount
Moderator Comments
It appears in reading thru the comments that the majority of the concern you are trying to address is providing the guests with a "clean" folio. If correct, would simple allowing to select item to be printed solve your problems? This would also allow you to maintain your audit trail.
An Auto Assign button 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
This button would have click auto-assign and instead of taking you into the room number selection it would just assign the next available room number. The exisitng assign button would remain just in case you needed to assign a specific number, and the auto assign button would be added.
Create a detailed report to make bucket checks easier 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
A report that can be put into room number order, has name of the guest, the method of payment, the balance of the account, the arrival date, the departure date, the current authorization amount,
A report that can show statistical data for Company Profiles 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
This report would show rooms, revenue, reservations, cancellations for each company profile, so you can easily keep track of which companies are staying in your hotel the most often, and which companies are generating the most revenue
Ability to email folios to guests 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
A clickable button should be added to the guest folio for the folio to be emailed to the guest. Right now the pdf file has to be saved and then emailed using another email program.

This functionality is scheduled for choiceADVANTAGE 3.3, tentatively shecduled for release 12/2008.
Allow Users to set Stay Restrictions for the same amount time out that inventory can be booked 
Posted by Alex Hart 04/29/2008 12:00 AM PDT
This would allow stay restrictions to be set on dates as soon as they become available for booking

Thank you for the excellent idea Alex. I am happy to report that the ability to "create inventory" beyond 52 weeks is coming to choiceADVANTAGE. Stay tuned for more details.

This would be absolutely wonderful, this happens so often and I have to cancel the reservation and remake it with the group block.

This is a great idea, I just feel bad because in my state of Idaho, and visitors from here, you will still have to manually punch the info as our licenses don't have magnetic info strips on the back of them. I hope most states do!

This is a fantastic idea, I see so many adjustments every day because the thing will automatically change the rate to whatever it wants with just that small warning which you have no choice to agree to if you want the change to take place.

This is really important, this way when our desk clerks accidently swipe over Merchant Cards on LNEt rooms we can go back and find them without having to waste massive amounts of time calling the third party site for the new card!

I would love to see this happen, even I get annoyed by the frequency of my having to come back and re-log in!

Also don't forget that your Occupancy Snapshot, has columns for stayovers, and Due out's on it, the only problem is that your houskeeping supervisor doesn't have access to this report, so the night auditor might need to print it for them everyday

Yes, yes, I've got group masters galore that changed their plans and I can't get rid of them. This is a great idea

As a calrification does this refer to, the line where the posting occurs, because my Choice Advantage version already prints the company name on the folio right above the guest's name?
