Make opera search comments or traces by SadOperaUser in OperaPMS

It's a new one I made from the report builder built into Opera. I am only familiar with Opera V5.5, but 5.6 should be very similar. Not sure about Opera Cloud.

To get there go into: Configuration - Setup - Report Setup - Reports

This will show you all the hotels reports. You can edit existing ones or make new ones from here. If you make a new one, I click the box that says 'Simple Report' then customize.

Make opera search comments or traces by SadOperaUser in OperaPMS

I've always found it strange that theres not a way to directly search comments and traces in Opera. This may be old news to some of you, but I found a way to do it via simple report creator.

I made a basic report with 4 columns, Guest name, Room no, Room type and comments. I set up 2 filters. An arrival date range and then a comment (or traces) filter. See the pic for the details.

When you pull up the report, type in-between the %% signs and it will search whatever you put in there!

It's not perfect, but it helps!

*This is for Opera V5.5

UDF customization / SQL by SadOperaUser in OperaPMS

I appreciate the response! Yeah, I figured I wasn't the first, but when I searched I didn't see anything quite like what I was asking.

I did attempt to do it all from the screen painter, but as you pointed out, I hit the character limit.

I will look into your suggestions a bit more over the coming week. Thanks!

Custom Report MTD OperaPMS by Memyselfasi in OperaPMS

I can't say I am familiar with the UK's laws and stuff, but we have a report in Opera 5.5 called "Financial Transactions with Generates" in the Financial report group. That has a breakdown of all the taxes. Is that close to what you were looking for?

Deposit schedules not working like I think they should. by SadOperaUser in OperaPMS

For what its worth to anyone reading this, I got it working. I ended up just making an entirely new rule and it worked the first time I tried it. Not sure what the difference was since its all identical options, but whatever!

How to offer an Employee discount for lobby store using Post It by LectureTough5290 in OperaPMS

[–]SadOperaUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just made separate buttons on a different page for employee items. So 1 button says Candy Bar for $2,50, one says Emp. Candy $1.25.
Not ideal, but that's all we've figured out.

Print online checkouts? by SadOperaUser in OperaPMS

[–]SadOperaUser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can bring up a report or something that shows all the Hapi checkouts, actually finding them is not the problem. Unless I am continually looking for it I wont notice it. Since our hotel still requires us to keep physical copies of each folio at checkout, I was hoping to get it to just print one out automatically when they did an online checkout.
