A label alerts the user to important matters concerning the various modules and data within the PMS. For example, you could give the label 'loyal guest' to guests who have stayed for the fourth time, or the label 'renovated' to objects that have been refurbished. You can create these labels yourself and give them a desired colour and emoji.

Purpose of labels

Special periods are used in Statistics, Price lists and in the Search and Book. Examples of special periods are public holidays, local events or holiday periods.

Creating and editing Special periods

It is possible to make predefined holidays and bank holidays visible on your website, so guests can click on them or more easily search for availability, for example, during the Christmas period.

Whether or not a late checkout is allowed, is determined in the settings of the booked type. 

How to set up and recognize a late check-out

How do you indicate whether or not pets are allowed? This is done per object, in the object setup. In the type settings, you can set how many pets guests are allowed to bring, but this only applies if the booked object allows pets.

Pets allowed/not allowed

In the BEX PMS, you can add media to your types and objects so that guests can get a good impression of the kind of accommodation they are booking.

If you are a park working with owners, you need to file a DAC7 report. The BEX PMS can provide the necessary data. Read this article to find out which data is required and some of the common error messages concerning the data.

DAC7: What is it and which data is required?

Creating and checking a DAC7 report

To submit a DAC7 report to the Dutch Tax Administration, you likely use Digipoort. Our DAC7 Digipoort Connector app allows you to upload a DAC7 report directly from your PMS to Digipoort, the Tax Administration’s electronic post office.

Todos module

If your administration works with owners, it may happen that the owner is responsible for all maintenance, but the staff of the holiday park still carries out certain maintenance tasks. You want to be able to charge these todos to the owner.

Invoicing tasks to owners

When carrying out todos, material is used, equipment is replaced, or labour costs are incurred. You can keep track of these by setting costs for todos.

With the todo planning within the BEX PMS, you have the possibility to distribute various (not yet) scheduled todos to different executors.

Todo planning

Facilities in the PMS are public or shared places that you want to be able to assign a to-do to, like a swimming pool or playground. Linking todos or periodic tasks to a facility follows the same process as linking to an object.

A cash register for the direct sale of products

POS module

The POS module is used to be able to sell and receive payments for products. It is possible to receive payments via different payment methods. You can create multiple cash registers, which is useful if you have other points of sale besides the reception desk. Every day that you use the register, you have to open and close it. You use counts to log the amount of cash and identify any discrepancies.

Getting started with the POS module

You can create one or more registers. It is useful to create a separate register for each point of sale and to reflect this in the name. Once created, the registers must be opened for use.

Create and open a register

Add the products you want to sell to the POS module. These can be organised into product groups.

Add POS products and product groups

Because the price of a POS product is adjustable, it is possible to create a POS product for variable items. However, the linked VAT rate of a POS product cannot be adjusted.

POS product with variable price

Enabling the use of a barcode scanner can make selling items via the POS module much faster.

Using a POS barcode scanner

Register sales can be paid in different ways. Cash is a default method, and you probably have a PIN terminal, or maybe you also want to be able to accept vouchers as a payment method.

Set up payment methods for POS

You can connect a receipt printer to every register that you have created in your PMS.

Connect a receipt printer

In addition to online payments, it is also possible to receive in-person payments via PIN.

Connect PIN terminal to register

Selling POS products isn't difficult once the POS module is set up.

Performing a POS transaction

At the end of the day, you close the register to record and check the sales revenue. You can deposit the cash excess from the cash drawer to the safe, so the register will again have the standard amount of cash for the next day. To do this, you need to perform a count.

Closing and counting a register

Viewing and correcting register counts

It is not possible to delete a register once a transaction or count has been processed by a register.

Can I delete a POS register?

The submenus 'Receipt items' and 'Results' offer, among other things, insight into POS sales and revenues.


Receipt items and results

If you want to refund money to a guest, you have to credit the receipt.

Crediting a receipt

There are three types of receipts in the POS module.

Types of receipts

Every POS transaction is recorded on a receipt, but also in journal entries. In addition, each POS product is linked to a ledger account, where the revenue from this product must be booked.
