Monthly recap

BEX PMS — Recap of August 2025

Updated: Expected periodic and utility invoice pages in Owner module

The overview pages for periodic invoices and utility advances have been updated with a new design. Now, there are separate pages for expected periodic invoices and utility advance invoices, offering a clearer and more user-friendly experience.

  • Improved manner of sending invoices in bulk: Sending invoices will now happen in the background. This means work can continue while the invoices are being created.

  • New: You can skip expected periodic invoices for owners in bulk. This makes it easier to manage owner invoices.

  • Enhanced differentiation for credit invoices among expected periodic invoices: Unsent invoices now have a 'concept' badge, and credit invoices contain a direct link to the invoice being credited. This makes the overview more intuitive and simplifies navigation.

New: POS product groups

Product groups have been introduced for Point of Sale (POS) products. This new feature allows for easy categorising and organising of products, making them simpler to manage. It is also possible to control which product groups are visible at specific POS registers, which streamlines the product display. This helps register users to quickly find what they need.

Improved VAT process for booking invoices

The manner in which VAT rates are applied to booking invoices has been updated to better suit financial operations. Now, the VAT rates that are valid on the departure date of the associated booking are applied, regardless of the invoice date. This aligns better with accounting practices that book revenue on the date that services are completed.

As such, you can add future changes to VAT rates, and the correct VAT rate will automatically be applied to bookings that are made (and paid) well in advance of the stay.

Send messages to owners from the Owner module

Sending reception messages to owners has been improved. Easily select one or more owners in your list of owners, and choose to send a reception message to your selection.

Additional auto email filters: Late checkout and arrival or departure day

In the auto-email settings, there are now three additional filter options:

Late check-out possible: Filters for reservations that have a departure day on which no new reservation is arriving.
Arrival day: Send emails to guests arriving on specific days of the week.
Departure day: Send emails to guests departing on specific days of the week.

Tip: Combine the 'Late check-out possible' and 'Departure day' filters to offer late check-outs to guests departing on Sundays.

Add or remove type amenities in bulk

Save time when adding or removing amenities with this new bulk action feature. Efficiently manage types by adding or removing amenities to multiple types at once.

Updated Owner portal

The owner portal dashboard has been refreshed. We enhanced owners’ experience by adding clearer information, icons, and statuses to important sections like messages, statistics, and reservations.

In addition, when an owner is booking a stay for themselves, they will now immediately see their remaining points or any applicable discounts. This helps them plan their own stays and keep track of their available budget and discounts.

Update after pricing is changed through API

The year overview of a price list is now updated after prices are changed through our API.

More relevant email templates

The templates overview now only shows email templates relevant to your administration. That means if an optional module is not used, templates relevant to that module will be hidden.

Better reservation history

A clear history is now visible whenever a reservation is updated or recalculated, making it easier to keep track of changes made to reservations. This provides more insight into past actions and supports daily operations.

New currency: South African Rand (ZAR)

Our supported currencies now include the South African Rand (ZAR). When processing amounts in South African Rand, the appropriate currency sign will be displayed.
