Vacation Master

What Reservation Master customers have said:

Dan:
I looked at several packages, and feature for feature, Reservation Master 5 does everything we need, and the support can't be beat. The learning curve is low, the features are complete (with new features added continuously) and Tom has been very good at listening to suggestions and implementing them if appropriate.

Tom:
I have loaded the new version! I am impressed by your immediate response to my suggestions, however I have not had the time to look at them yet but do hope to by the end of the week!

When you compare service, features, and cost, you’ll see why Reservation Master 5 is your best value for resort and guest management software.

Let us get you started today!

 


MS Money, Quicken and Reservation Master 5

You can integrate your front desk operations with your MS Money or Quicken accounting tools to have all your sales and cost data in one place. The Money/Quicken interface, lets you assign the Money/Quicken Categories to your Reservation Master 5 sales items. Then when deposits are processed, a sale completed, or a reservation closed, just click the Accounting Interface function 'Export Sales Data to MS Money/Quicken' and your data will be prepared for import into your accounting tool. No need to enter your sales data again into Money or Quicken.

Here's how to use the interface:

 Reservation Master 5 to MS Money or Quicken

Sales data gathered in Reservation Master 5 should be 'exported' to MS Money or Quicken on a regular basis (probably weekly during the busy seasons; at least monthly for reconciling bank statements). Before your first export, however, go to the Set-Up function and select the first option - 'Application Name, Deposits, ...' - and check Money or Quicken. Then go the Set-Up function option 'Sales Item List'. Associate the appropriate Money/Quicken 'Category' to each Reservation Master 5 sales item. You can use subcategories just as you would in your accounting program (e.g., Boats:16ft.). This will assure your data is properly organized when it is sent to Money/Quicken. You're now ready to use the interface.

  • To see whether any data is ready to be exported to your accounting tool, go to the Home Page and click on the Accounting Function Export to Money/Quicken. If there are any deposits or closed accounts listed, you have some data to export. (You first need to create 'deposits' from your payments using the Deposit Payments function)
  • Then click the 'Export' button. You will shortly receive the 'Export successful' message. Reply 'OK' and Reservation Master 5 will automatically 'Quit'. Go immediately to your accounting tool to import your sales data (The following instructions may vary slightly depending on the version of Money or Quicken that you are using).
    • MS Money users: Go to 'File/Import' and select the file 'RMquickenmoneyData.QIF' in the Reservation Master 5 folder. Use the 'As a new or Recovered Account' option. Select the bank account into which deposits are made and click 'OK'.
    • Quicken users: Go to 'File/Import QIF' and select the file 'RMquickenmoneyData.QIF' in the Reservation Master 5 folder. Open the file. Import only 'Transactions'. If requested, reply 'Yes' to creating categories.
  • It is critical that the data be imported into Money/Quicken immediately. The next time you run Reservation Master 5's 'Export Sales Data' function, the previous data will be overwritten and lost.

To avoid losing any data, and to prevent doubling up on any sales data in Money/Quicken, be sure to complete all the preceding steps each time you export the sales data:

That's all there is to it.
