Customise the Fields Displayed in the Booking Chart Data Window
I would like to edit the 'data window' content in the booking chart

In this situation we do not want the guest to be able to have additional transactions added to their Extras account via the POS.38 votesWe are pleased to advise that a new optional feature ‘POS Charge to Area’ is now available.

Default "BILL TO" in Channel Management Agent setup (like in Company setup)
We would like to set a specific agent to BILL TO: AGENT as the default but there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the Channel Management setup screen to do this.
Please note that it is the agent that is located on the channel management page, not an agent that we are manually creating.
We noticed that if we create a company, there is the option to set a default BILL TO option. (in EXTRA DETAILS) This is what we are trying to replicate in the online agent setup

Add Booking Stay Dates to Reservation Header
This would allow users to reference this important information in all areas of the booking. If using the Tour Desk and Transfer Modules the booking stay dates are not visible when working in these tabs. In addition when making bookings for tours or transfers the date defaults to 'today's' date which makes bookings in these areas more prone to user error and less efficient if the user has to write down booking dates or close out of tab to obtain the correct dates.
In other tabs there is a reference of some sort to the booking stay dates but not…

The ability to stop Guests booking Online at least 2 months in Advance
I would like to see a feature which allows me to easily stop clients from booking at least 2 months in advance on RMS Book Now. As it is I set my tariffs for over a year in advance for we get return customers who like to re book upon departure for the following year. This means I have to be organized and have my tariffs set but this also means that on line bookings can be made also. I have not got the time to continuously block them all out and I am scared I will miss one. Where…

Create Rate - Option to Create Nightly Rate for Multiple Reservation Dates
Create Rate for multiple nights at once
For the Create Rate functionality that allows a user to post a night's accommodation in advance:
Currently we can only post one night at a time so this is time consuming if we’re trying to post the rate forward for say 30 nights. Could this be enhanced so that there's an option to post multiple dates with one posting rather than being only able to post one night at a time?5 votesThank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
Currently available in our RC and Beta environment and coming soon with the next public Live release of RMS 9+ is the ability to configure the number of nights the Create Rate option will apply at a time, including the ability to create the rate for the full length of stay at once when using Nightly Rate and whether or not the rate should be created on check-in.

Custom Housekeeping Area Statuses
Housekeeping: additional/customizable clean statuses for rooms
When managing housekeeping statuses in RMS, we'd like additional clean statuses other than clean, dirty, and inspect.
Ideally, if we can add/rename statuses based on our needs, we can manage housekeeping in detail. An example would be a progress indicator in percentages.

Improve Account Printing Efficiency
Installing a new printer and Smart Printing Service
We had to install a new printer over the weekend. It's been a long time since the last install so we had forgotten how to get it into smart printing service. It was not working like the printer before. I rang help and was told that the smart printing service is being fazed out and RMS must generate the report to print. After hanging up I worked out how to reinstall smart printing service for our new printer and it works as we like it.
If the Smart Service is not activated;…
