Monitoring - We have successfully recovered all the recoverable data that have been corrupted during the incorrect migration. That means all open items that had incorrect VAT rates and all price settings. Therefore it's safe again to start closing bills. For the items that have already been closed on a bill, we did leave them as they are in order not to modify the closed bills. We started engaging directly with all the impacted clients and working on resolution of those closed bills. And we continue to monitor the situation in order to resolve all possible issues that might still arise.

We strongly recommend that you check your pricing setup and future items. If you encounter anything that still does not look correct, let us please know at support@mews.com. We'd like to apologize again for this issue and for the inconvenience this must have caused you. Since this was pretty major incident, we will immediately start working on a detailed postmortem, that will explain what happened and what measures we will put in place so that something similar does not occur again.

Update - We've progressed with the recovery, now we are finalizing several remaining items and corner cases that are the most difficult to fix. We'd like to apologize and thank for the patience so far, it's definitely taking more time than it should have. We will update you when the system is fully operational and closing bills becomes safe again.

Update - Applicable to hotels in Austria, Germany & Czech Republic ONLY

Unfortunately we had a bug in the migration of the VAT changes, this caused some errors in the VAT setup. We have now successfully reverted the vast majority of the data from a backup and will continue working on several remaining issues to ensure 100% accuracy.
We ask all hotels in Austria, Germany and Czech Republic to manually verify the VAT rates assigned to every Product, Rates and Services in the settings of their hotel/hostel. Once you have verified this, kindly e-mail us at support@mews.com as soon as possible with the outcome of your investigation.

Once we hear from you, we will run another check, to ensure that all open items are then correctly showing the right VAT rates.
