Value Feature # 1:
Customers have been asking to see more of the Booking details on the Invoice Query screen, so a new “View by Booking” option has been added to the screen. After doing a normal Invoice query, you can now click the "View By Booking" button and you will see a screen that displays bookings only. The Columns Button has many new booking level fields for display that are not under the Column Button when "View By Invoice" is selected.

When "View by Invoice" is selected, you see the same columns as previous versions of TBO.

New query fields for “UDID’s”, “Flight Number”, “Client Remarks” and “Vendor Remarks” have also been added to the Invoice Query screen to further refine the query process.

Value Feature # 2:
To streamline CC Merchant processing the previous utility is now integrated into the CC Merchant Reconciliation functionality, within Back Office. Agencies that are processing credit cards with Pinnacle Payment Solutions or Ticketmaster, can now process directly in the TRAMS Back Office program.

If you are set up for Multiple Balance Sheets, you should continue to use the old CC Merchant Utility, as this new functionality does not create the journal entry correctly. Also, if you are processing using more than one processing vendor (i.e. both Pinnacle & Ticketmaster), you must run a separate reconciliation for each processor for now.

Value Feature # 3:
Do you ever receive an NSF Check or use your Agency’s Credit Card to pay for travel bookings with a Vendor where the customer is going to pay you for the use of your agency’s card? Now you can create a Negative Client Voucher to track these situations and put those amounts owed to you on the client’s statement.

On the Utilities/Setup/Global Defaults/Prompt, we have added an "Allow Client Negative Voucher" checkbox. When checked this allows for the creation of a 'Negative' Client Voucher without having to close an invoice. Just do a Payment Made, Payment Method (Other), Profile Type (Client), and the voucher shows as an amount due the agency on the Client Statement.

Value Feature # 4:
The ‘Seek & Replace’ Interface enhancement feature for Car/Hotel & Air Flight Change Itineraries has been added for Amadeus users.

For all Amadeus PNR's containing a RM*HU line, TRAMS reads "Itinerary" information transmitted from Amadeus. To issue an Itinerary in Amadeus that creates an "Interface Record," you need to drive the itinerary with a BT command.

For all "Commission Track" Car & Hotel records, or Air Flight Changes in the Itinerary, TRAMS will Interface & Process these Non-Invoiced records and Search for existing invoices in the system by Amadeus Record Locator. If no RM*HU entry is entered into the Amadeus PNR then the itinerary is not be read or processed by TRAMS. Any Tour or Cruise records are ignored. Only Car & Hotel and Air Flight Change records are read.

Value Feature # 5:
Ever need to query for all ‘Open’ & ‘Closed’ invoices and not ‘Voided’ or ‘N/A’ Comm Track ones? Now you can by selecting multiple values under the “Invoice Status” field on the Invoice Query Screen. Previously only a single value for the field could be selected.

Value Feature # 6:
Have customers you sent separate multiple invoices to in a single email, ever asked you how they can tell which invoice is which without opening them? Now each invoice is named with the Invoice Number and Client Name, allowing them to open only the one they want to, correctly, the first time.

Value Feature # 7:
The Bank Reconciliation can now be run for a date range. You are able to see multiple Bank Reconciliation periods rather than just one, as is currently the case. With a "From" and "To" date range, you have the ability to see the total amount of deposits and checks cleared, which is a big help when trying to find an error. Also, if a cleared payment is voided and re-entered for any number of reasons, and the person re-entering forgets to re-clear the item, it is easier to pick up mistakes.

Value Feature # 8:
A ‘Sort By’ Button has been added to the Bank Reconciliation Screen so that you can refine the sort criteria. If sorted by date for example, all deposits, withdrawals and checks appear together by date entered.

Value Feature # 9:
Have you ever needed to add a new GL Account Line to a journal entry and put it in the position you desire, rather than as the last line of the JE? Now you can with the added "Move Up" and "Move Down" Buttons on the Journal Entry Screen.

Value Feature # 10:
An option has been added to the Agent Activity and Agent Statement reports to filter Supplier CC items where the Net Remit is zero.

For bookings where the vendor side is auto-closed because the net remit to the vendor is zero, (TF 100.00, Comm 0.00, FOP CC) there will be no Vendor Payment Number. In previous versions, these transactions would not show on the Agent Statement or Activity Reports, when the "Supplier CC" field was set to "Vendor Payment Date". Now those items are displayed on the reports based on the selections made in the new "Supplier CC - No Remit" field.
