To set up your accounting integration, follow these steps:

Note: If you are connecting to M3 accounting integration, this connection requires a different configuration in Mews. Click here for more details.

 

1. Turn off receivables tracking.

 

Since invoice payment tracking is done in the accounting software, disable tracking invoices in Mews:

 

1. Go to Main Menu > Settings > Property > Finance > Accounting configuration.
2. In the Options section, disable the Receivable tracking enabled option.

 

2. Create accounting categories for revenue and payments.

 

If you have outlets (restaurants, shops, etc.) that are connected to Mews, they should also have their own accounting categories set up. 

 

3. Assign a Ledger Account Code to all accounting categories.

 

This step is crucial for proper communication between Mews and your accounting software and should be done along with your accountant. This field cannot be filled by Mews' employees nor your accounting software.

 

The ledger account code can be added during the initial setup and must be done before connecting with the integration.

 

4. Assign an accounting category to all payment types.

 

1. Go to Main Menu > Settings > Property > Finance > Accounting configuration.
2. Check that each payment type has an accounting category assigned.

 

5. Configure your accounting editable history window.

 

The accounting editable history window directly affects when an entry is sent to accounting software and cannot exceed one day.

 

Learn more about the editable history window and how it works, then head to Main menu > Settings > Property > Finance > Accounting configuration.

 

6. Assign an accounting category to all products and services.

 

Each product and service must have an accounting category assigned.

 

For Stay services:

 

1. Go to Main menu > Settings > Services > Stay > Scroll down to the Accounting section.
2. Add the all the accounting categories.

 

For other services:

 

1. Go to Main menu > Settings > Services.
2. Select the service.
3. Assign the appropriate accounting category in the Accounting section.
