We are looking for customers to give us feedback on our new feature which you allow you to define the 24 hour period that you consider to be your business day. The first iteration of this feature is driven by our new ledgers and enabling this feature helps you align the new ledger reporting more closely with your manager report and daily operations.

What it is 

You choose when your business day starts and ends (for example, 03:00 → 03:00). Mews then uses that window to post items to accounting in the new ledger reporting. We apply clear rules to common scenarios: 

  • Items with an exact consumption time go to the business day in which that time falls. 

  • Nightly products posted before/after end of business day rather than after midnight.

  • Reports (Trial Balance, Ledger Activity export) clearly show the cut-off time used

What success looks like 

  • Late-night POS revenue, late checks ins and nightly products are all posted to the correct day as per your operational definition 

  • Manager report totals reconcile more easily with Ledgers & Trial Balance. 

Who we’d love in the beta 

  • Properties already on the new Ledgers or properties which want an early access to new Ledgers & Trial balance features.  

  • Operations that don’t run midnight-to-midnight (e.g., cut-off around 02:00–05:00). 

What we’ll ask from you 

  • Set your cut-off time and keep it stable during the test. 

  • Share examples where the old day boundary caused confusion (e.g., NYE party, late bar close). 

  • Tell us if numbers across Manager report, Ledgers, and Trial Balance now match expectations. 

  • Flag any edge cases (e.g., third-party items posted with or without a time). 

What you get 

  • Earlier access to a highly requested control that reduces daily reconciliation work. 

  • Direct line to the product team; your feedback will shape default behaviors and guardrails. 

How to join: 
Reply to this thread with your property name and I will reach out to discuss the Beta enablement further with you.

Thanks for all the interest and support in this Beta Programme. Our Beta is now closed and this feature will be rolled out to all customers as part of the new ledger solution on a country by country basis over the next few months.

Hi Laura, 

No surprise to you, but Amrâth Hôtels would LOVE to join this BETA. I will check internally which hotel or maybe all hotels ;) 

 

One more question: does this mean the filters to set up an export for a report also gets this option to set it to the correct business day end time? This is what we also really lack, we can't do any exports as the time is not correct.

@Kirsten thanks for confirming. This would work best in the properties that you have the new ledgers enabled as that is the main focus of this change at the moment. As the initial iteration of this feature is focused on the ledger functionality the default filters on other reports have not been updated to reflect the business day, but it is something we recognise would be a logical next step and will can evaluate this feedback during the Beta.

Let me know if you want this enabled in the properties already using the new ledgers.

Dear Laura

We would love to join for sure with Hotel Monopol. Biggest issue is late check-ins which cause troubles.

Best regards

Lars

Hi Laura, please enable it for Amsterdam and Amersfoort, the two locations on the BETA. If you have any documentation / explanation I can share with my colleague that would be great!

Thanks ​@Kirsten I have enabled this on both properties as requested. Nothing will change in the property until you configure the new setting to your preferred time.

Here is the documentation that you can share with your team and also clarifies how to amend the new setting.
