1. #Change Details of Mj-Entry:

Recently we received some report from some clients that after submitting the Mj-Entry (Manual Journal Entry) by the staff, they mistake on writing some details like Receipts Number or miss spelling. According to the policies of the Platform, nobody allowed to the change the amount in accounting system after submitting. That’s why we added this feature only in a case of modification of the transaction description of submitted record. By adding this feature, you can make sure about the accuracy of the transactions and correct data storage.

2. #Cancel Flight Book per Passenger:

Agencies gain more control by canceling a flight book per passenger. It is often that a travel agency will have to cancel the ticket of a single person from a book that has many passengers, until now agencies should have used a Mj-Entry in order to keep the accounting in check but now they can simply cancel a single passenger from a book and the system will take care of the rest. The benefit of this change is that it not only made tracking of booking status easier but also simplified and automated the accounting of a book and its separate transactions when it comes to cancelling a single passenger.

3. #Subtitle: Resolved a bug causing false alerts for zero-profit books:

our platform utilizes 5 stages of advanced pricing in order to give precise and full control over the final price of a ticket in accordance to an agencies marketing strategy, this has led to certain agencies utilizing over 300 pricing rules to make sure that every single ticket is priced exactly as they want. This volume of control however, can sometimes lead to a mistake in the process of setting up the said rules causing a ticket to be unprofitable. In order to warn our agencies of such mistakes the Accounting Sales Loss notification was made. Before this patch there was an error in its functionality that caused it to send notifications of bookings with 0 profit which can’t be considered a loss. Now the alert is only triggered when a book has negative profit, making it more accurate for its purpose.

4. #Enhancements to "Accounting Sales Loss" Alert:

Considering that agencies have the freedom to create their own custom template of notifications using dynamic information placement in the Automated Notifications section of the BackOffice we attempted to enhance our dynamic notifications of Accounting Sales Loss. From now on you can add the total profit of a book in the Accounting Sales Loss alert’s notification. We predict that with this change you will be able to accurately observe what amount of positive or negative profit a book had that caused it to trigger an Accounting Sales Loss alert.

5. #UI Improvements:

Many enhancements were made to the certain parts of the Marketplace User Interface; some were issues and some were improvements. These changes include making the “Price History” grid at the bottom of the page more readable, making sure that the description of what image the agency is uploading when making a visa is clearer, changing the place of certain submenus in the Backoffice to be sure that everything is in the right place, you can now see the duration of a package in the packages booking mgt, fixed the download button of a voucher being shown half as long as the “download” text in mobile view of the website, and many more.

6. #Search Results Refresh Fix:

Recently we have noticed that certain suppliers send their search results with more and more of a delay, in order to fix this, we have concluded that the 1-minute wait time we have set for the search results to appear is no longer enough and therefore we had to increase the speed of processing the results to make sure that all of the results of a search are properly received and shown.

7. #Inactive Suppliers Exclusion:

an advantage of the Luxota platform is that you can simply receive a PNR and then the admin of the website could manually issue this PNR from another supplier with a better price. If you are familiar with this process, you can remember that while trying to select a new supplier, the name of all suppliers on the platform, active or inactive, were to be shown. With this change we expect the list to only show the active suppliers in the list making the whole process a lot faster and more user friendly.

8. #Transaction Codes:

one of the challenges of the accounting section used to be the tracking of a certain transaction which is understandable considering the overwhelming number of transactions happening on the website at a time. They needed a unique code that could not be repeated even inside the Luxota network. With this patch every single transaction in the Luxota network has a unique code which can be easily tracked throughout the network.

9. #My Bookings Page Enhancement:

Up until now the “My Bookings” page has been our solution to providing every single user with all the information they may need about their bookings. In order to make sure that such an important section can be even more useful, we added the ability to search using PNR of a book, bettered the UI of a book’s status labels, and brought the multicurrency E-Wallet functions previously introduced in the platform, to this section as well; making sure that all of the bookings reflect the currency they were purchased with

10. #Flight Search Section Improvement:

the passengers looking for a one-way flight can simply enter their place of departure and the date of flight and receive the suitable results, but if they need to search for a returning flight, they had to enter departure and destination again. In this release we have added a button to swap the place of information entered in departure and destination so that our users can easily search for a returning flight

11. #Translations and UI Improvements:

another advantage of the Luxota platform is the translation of cities and airports based on the language chosen by the user. In this release we made sure that more cities and airports are correctly translated from English to other languages that the platform provides

12. #Voucher File Naming Change:

as a travel agency, your computer is most likely filled with dozens of downloaded tickets. In order to make sure that our agencies will have the utmost power over how they want to sort through their downloaded vouchers/tickets, we changed the name of the vouchers to a new format: Date-TravelService-LeadPassenger-PassportNumber-PNR-BookingID.pdf. this change should guarantee a better experience for travel agencies that try to find a certain book using a specific detail of that book

13. #Booking Failure for Repetitive Passport Numbers:

sometimes an agency might make the mistake of entering a single passport number for two different passengers while filling in the passenger’s form. With this change the platform now returns an error to the user, informing them of the repetitive information

14. #Sort Statements by New Types:

in every single travel agency working with 3rd party suppliers there are certain books that fail due to many reasons ranging from charging and account balance to invalid passenger information or the capacity of a flight being filled before submission. In such cases the booking is failed and the money is refunded to a user so that they can make another purchase, such instances might fill up the list of statements of an account while not being useful in all reports. You can now remove such failed/refunded transactions from a statement using a new filter. Just as you can now filter through your statements to find only the cancelled bookings of a buyer/seller
