How to.. posting before end of business day but showing correct date in housekeeping report

Hi community,

We use a €0 product called GreenStay to track when guests opt out of room cleaning. When this product is added to a reservation, it triggers certain automations.

The challenge: we want the product to be posted before end of business day (so it’s part of the night charge for statistics), but for housekeeping reporting purposes it should reflect the date after midnight — i.e., the actual day the room won’t be cleaned.

An added complication is that for multi-night stays, the product also appears on the arrival night, where cleaning was never going to happen anyway.

Mews Support confirmed there’s currently no native way to differentiate between the consumption date for housekeeping vs. finance. Has anyone found a workaround for this — perhaps using automations, a second product, or a clever posting setup?

Thanks in advance!

​@mauritsbots Hi,

we do struggle at the same point as you are doing… but i do not see any solution for that by now… we now try to do an autmation task via flexkeeping.. thats mainly it for now.. and that is probably delivering a solution by now..

The only way would be a second product - MEWS products report when posting, the two are inextricably linked that way, there is no way to post a product in one period and consume it in a different period per se.

Yes its a bit duff… accounting needs the business day offset to be 4am. fine - but MEWS posts 'before end of business day’ at 23:59..

if they (MEWS) would just post it to 00:01 it would already be fixed haha
