Value Feature # 1:
Do you have more then one custom query to run on any of the main query screens? The 2.09 version now allows for multiple saved queries under the Default button. After creating a new query, name it, and then select it from the new Default drop field under the Default button. Now you can run queries again and again on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and not have to re-enter all the query data each time. This is a big time saver.

Value Feature # 2:
A Markup or Discount is not always a fixed amount, but may be based on a rate. In the past, you calculated what that rate would be as an amount and then enter the amount into the Markup/Discount field on the Expanded Fare tab of the booking screen. Now there is a new Rate (%) field where a Markup or Discount can be entered as a percentage. Though the Markup/Discount Rate is not saved after the booking is saved, the field is an aid to calculating a markup or discount when a rate is known but not the amount.

Value Feature # 3:
For those of you using TACS – Perot Systems for receiving payment for your hotel bookings, those bookings can now be reconciled in TBO by selecting a new TACS – Perot Systems options under Payments - Pegasus/NPC. The reconciliation works in a similar fashion to the NPC or Pegasus reconciliation.

Value Feature # 4:
For those of you using the Z-Pay (PayWindow) payroll import under Payments|Payroll Import, we now allow for an ‘ACH’ Direct Deposit payroll payment using this product. For more information on this full featured, cost effective software, check them out on our Platinum Partners page.

Value Feature # 5:
A Global Modify button has been added to the Agent Reconciliation Screen. Now you have the ability to globally modify an agent’s Commission Rate Percentage % or amount to all bookings or bookings selected by travel type in the query screen. This globally applied percentage could be used by agencies that want to pay agents a base salary plus a commission bonus based on exceeding an identified commission 'threshold'.

The Total Commission field is used as an aid to easily see whether an agent has exceeded the threshold, and then a calculated percentage is used for the global modify of the agent commission rate, without running an additional report. For specifics on doing this simple calculation see Help – Agent Reconciliation.

Value Feature # 6:
A booking can quickly be voided via a right-click option from the Create New Payment screen. Highlight any ARC/BSP, Supplier or Comm Track Booking, then right-click and select Void Booking. Void a booking without having to use the Edit Invoice button. This enhancement saves over 4 key strokes/mouse clicks over using the Edit button.

Value Feature # 7:
Do you have slush or wash accounts where you have items going in and out all the time and you just need to know what items are not yet offset or OPEN? Check out the new GL Account Reconciliation option under General Ledger. Now for any GL account (liability, asset, etc.), you can flag it as an open item account. You have the ability to query GL transactions using the flags of OPEN, CLOSED, or ALL. This is like only looking at cleared or uncleared in your bank account reconciliation, only now you can do it for any GL account. Simply toggle closed any corresponding debit & credit items that are deemed matches and clear them from the screen. Makes it a lot easier to track monies received and paid out from these ‘in’ & ‘out’ accounts.

Value Feature # 8:
Sort options for Total Commission and Total Commission by Client Type have been added to the Client Activity report. Now you can focus more on a client's commission yield than total sales, and can readily rank your clients by dollars to the agency rather than dollars from the client.

Value Feature # 9:
You can now add a description to the UDID’s you use. Under Utilities|Setup|UDID's, a Description field has been added that allows you to change the UDID 1-99 dropdown items to more meaningful and descriptive terms. A UDID #5 could be changed to Purchase Order, for example. The UDID drop-down fields then display the changed new description of Purchase Order instead of the previous UDID #5.

Value Feature # 10:
Added conditional operators (Is Equal To, In, etc) to the group fields on the Report Generator Report Selection Criteria screen. To be able to run Report Generator Reports for multiple groups, just select the conditional operator of “In” for the type group the report is for, and either hand enter group names separated by commas, or create a multiple group drop down in Utilities|Groups where the individual groups are separated by commas.
