PMS Ulyses Cloud
Ability to update information in already split group reservations
It is now possible to update information on already split group reservations if changes are made in the group's "Detail" tab.

If the "Master Invoice" box is checked and stays have already been generated, you will be asked if you want to apply changes to the reservations; in that case, a routing of accommodation and board to the master will be added automatically.
From this version, it is possible to order the different payment automations to define in which order they should be executed if, by configuration, they must act at the same time.
For example, if you want a payment automation for a percentage of the reservation to act before a payment automation for the remaining balance:

It is also now possible to indicate which reservations should be sent to ses.hospedajes according to the booker, so you can configure it so that only those new reservations coming from the direct sales booking engine are sent to ses.hospedajes:
As with ses.hospedajes, for properties located in Catalonia, it is now possible to indicate which reservations should be sent to Mossos d'esquadra according to the booker. This way, you can configure it so that only those new reservations coming from the direct sales booking engine are added to the file sent to Mossos d'esquadra.
For properties located in the Basque Country that send traveler reports to Ertzaintza, it is now also possible to indicate in the "Booker" section of the integration configuration screen which profile is used in the PMS for reservations coming from the direct sales booking engine, so that only manually created reservations and those coming from the connector with the indicated bookers are added to the XML file for Ertzaintza.
