MEWS Integration Tiers

By default, Omniboost integrations transfer Revenues to your accounting platform at the MEWS Accounting Category level.

By default, Omniboost integrations transfer Payments to your accounting platform at the MEWS Accounting Category level.

Omniboost integrations transfer VAT / Tax to your accounting platform depending on your setup. We either use VAT / Tax ledger account codes, or VAT / Tax codes.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) entries represent revenues from guests who have already checked out but still have an outstanding balance (invoice). When A/R is enabled, Omniboost integrations send Sales Entries to your accounting platform with the corresponding Debtor profile data.

If you would like the A/R component to be enabled in your integration, please confirm so with your Omniboost representative. Please note that the A/R component must be supported within your accounting connection.

By default, Omniboost accounting connections transfer Revenue transactions in an aggregated format, grouped at the MEWS Accounting Category level. However, it is also possible to send MEWS revenue transactions to your accounting platform with greater detail.

Please consult your Omniboost representative to confirm whether the Detailed Revenue Entry feature is supported within your accounting connection. Enabling this option will give you more granular insight into the revenue streams generated in your PMS.

By default, Omniboost accounting connections transfer Payment transactions in an aggregated format, grouped at the MEWS Accounting Category level. However, it is also possible to send MEWS payment transactions to your accounting platform with greater detail.

Please consult your Omniboost representative to confirm whether the Detailed Payment Entry feature is supported within your accounting connection. Enabling this option will give you more granular insight into the payment transactions from your 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.

Statistical data can play a key role in your hotel's decision-making. Some of our integrations support the transfer of Statistical journals into accounting platforms. Available statistics from MEWS PMS may include Arrivals, Departures, Rooms out of order, Number of guests, and many more.

If you would like statistical data to be sent to your accounting system, please contact your Omniboost representative. They can confirm whether statistical journals are supported within your specific integration.

Certain accounting environments require a detailed mapping of ledger accounts, cost centers, and other journal entry elements in the data transfer from the PMS to the accounting system.

In most cases, the mapping capabilities within MEWS PMS are sufficient. If your setup requires additional mapping beyond the PMS, please coordinate with your Omniboost representative. We can also cover mapping components within the integrations itself.

Omniboost aims to make reconciling payment entries from the PMS with the payments received in your bank account as easy as possible.

If the payment information from the PMS alone is insufficient for reconciliation, please contact your Omniboost representative. Together, we can explore options to include additional payment details from the PMS to streamline the reconciliation process.

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. 

Reconciliation refers to the process of verifying and matching the journals in your accounting system against the financial entries recorded in your MEWS environment. The reconciliation process should be straightforward as Omniboost integrations run timely and accurately. Silver- and Gold Tier members can access Omniboost assistance whenever they need help with reconciliation.
