Release 5.4 was rolled out on June 16th, 2014. Below are the features & enhancements included in this Bookerville release:
1) Owner Statements!
This eagerly-awaited feature is now in Beta, please help us refine and improve it. Learn more: Owner Statements
2) Reports: Exclude Booking Statuses
There is now the ability to exclude certain booking statuses when running the reports. Useful for excluding things like Maintenance, Owner-Occupied, etc.
3) Booking Expenses:
You can now enter expenses that are tied to each booking. This is conveniently available at the top of the Booking Details page, and can also be reached by clicking the links from the Owner Statement.
4) Automatic Recurring Expenses:
You can set up recurring expenses for each booking. Whenever a new booking is created, these expenses will be automatically created and associated with the booking. Terrific for commissions, cleaning fees, and much more. Learn More: Automatic Recurring Expenses
5) Owner-Paid Expenses:
You can also mark certain expenses as "Owner-Paid", which will cause the expense to appear on the new Owner Statement. This can also be set in the Automatic Recurring Expenses.
6) Zero-Out Amounts for Certain Statuses:
