eRes Interface controller - Apex inventory rebuild running

The sequence of the Inventory rebuild process has been changed slightly so that the start of it is logged before anything else happens.
The lockout flag only gets set by the rebuild process and this change will help us see if it is a case of that process not running properly to reset the flag.
In addition to that, a front-end lockout checkbox has been added to the interface configuration to make it easier to remove the lock if necessary.

Error caused when Reminder field is blank

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RemindType', table DTRemind.
When a reminder is added to a reservation the reminder type defaults to "Guest" now so that it won't be left blank and cause the error.

Access Violation when the Room Rack/Chart screen is not active

Apex will now no longer refresh the Room rack, Room chart, Room- or Banqueting availability screens if the screen is open but not currently being displayed. This was causing intermittent access violations as well as unnecessary background processing.

Timeshare booking disappears when editing

The disappearing reservation scenario when there are three records in a week could not be recreated. An Edit button has been added to the Week Control screen in case double-clicking contributed to the issue.

Debtors Accounts filtering

When filtering In-active / All / Active Debtors it pulls through the same total amount (count) at the bottom of the screen. The count at the bottom of the column now shows the correct count for each selection, not the total number of records.

CRS Rate Share problem

When eRes sends a group reservation down and the property chooses to create a share with a "New" reservation, the CRS Unit rates will be discarded.
The rate sent down by eRes will be split according to the share amount and that amount will be set as an overridden rate.
Due to this being a rate override, supervisor authorisation will be required.

Room Block User right

When a user belongs to an employee type that does not have the "Block room" right assigned, as soon as they click on "Block room" a message will appear informing the user that their rights are preventing them from blocking a room.

CRS Code and Default tick added to Deposit Codes

A CRS code and CRS default tick have been added to the Deposit codes.
It is recommended that one Deposit code in Apex be set as the CRS default code so that it will be used on all reservations received from eRes.
Please note that eRes does not send a deposit code to Apex. This has the following implications:
- If no default is set, the code will be blank in Apex and this will exclude the amount from reports.
- Even if there is a CRS code mapped to the deposit codes in eRes, only the default code (if set) will be used.
The CRS code was added in case the deposit code is added to the interface in future.

The user would only select the template and enter the number of pax. All menu items, equipment, accommodation etc. may be built into the template.
