Two exciting new ECS features providing enhanced control of vendor & product settings were released this week!

Hide Product Options from Agents & Direct Customers

Accessible by editing a product on the Product Details screen, the new setting allows you to designate specific Product Options as “Hidden”.

When checked, the product option will be visible only for bookings made inside your account, and will not show to agents or direct customers.

Per-Vendor Invoice Strategies

Where previously all ECS/SSMS vendors within an account shared a single set of rules, users are are now able to define Invoice Strategies on a per-vendor basis, allowing fine-grained control of Invoice & Cancellation Policies between vendors.

To use a new strategy for an ECS/SSMS vendor, simply create a strategy via Invoicing & Cancellation Strategy, then navigate to the Policy tab in the Product Details page. Select the newly created strategy in the Override Invoicing & Cancellation Strategy section, and save.

Once a new booking comes in for this vendor, the invoice will be automatically created by the selected strategy.  When no specific strategy is selected in the Policy tab, the Default invoicing strategy will apply.
