  3. If the Accounting category is changed on the Product, update the Accounting category on the Order line as well and check ‘Send to Mews’ again

Note: Accounting categories are a Mews feature for products. Thynk staff are not able to activate accounting categories in Mews, but instead activated by the property. This activation must be done in both products and not just one system, otherwise, it will not work.

"Invalid AccountId.","DebugDetails":null,"Details":null

Even though the error message says Invalid AccountId, in reality it's the Reservation Guest that is missing on Booking and further on the Orders. 

Possible cause:

  • PMS Account linking Process failed which caused the Reservation Guest Process not being fired

Resolution
  1. Link the Existing PMS Account to the Booking >> This will fire the Reservation Guest creation Process.

  2. If that's not the case, Create a Guest record where Guest.Name == 'Booking.Name', Guest.Property == Booking.Property, Guest.Send_to_Mews == True.

  3. Once Guest receives Mews Id >> Link this guest record to the Booking into the Reservation Guest field.

  4. Orders are updated. Guest is linked to the orders

  5. To send the Orders to Mews >> Use the Update Order Button on the Booking
