Move System Date Utility

To help simplify the reopening process for clients that may have shut down over lockdown, a "Hyperspace" utility has been added to the End Of Day screen. 
It allows HTI to update client system dates without having to run multiple End of Days.
When the HTI user is logged in the Hyperspace button appears at the bottom of the End of day window.
It allows a date to be selected (note that the date selected is the last one that will be closed).
Selected End of Day processes are run for each day.
One backup is created before the process starts and it is named differently so as not to overwrite any of the existing day end backups but please note that, 
depending on the day of the week to which you hyperspace, the existing nightly backups will start being overwritten.

OUT Only setting on Loyalty Interface

In order to exclude house accounts from stay records sent via the Loyalty Interface, a setting has been added to the Interface configuration to send "OUT Only". 
When it is set to "Yes", only folios with an OUT status (guest folios) will create stay files on the (XML) Loyalty Interface.
Please Note: This setting should be Yes for all Dream Hotels properties.

TFI2 Bookmark added to Folio Print Format

Please see notes on AX-I57 below for background on this change.
The TFIS bookmark was not changed, it was left as is, instead a TFI2 bookmark has been added. The bookmark shows Sub Total as a sum of the VAT and the NET values above it. 
TFIS and TFI2 cannot be used on the same print format.

Change End Of Day Report back to Summary AR Age analysis

Apex Confirmation Template changes  [TL and SC TAXES INCLUSIVE]

A new type "RSUM" has been added to the print formats. 
It can use numeric fields from the DTReserv table and perform division, multiplication, addition and subtraction to a fixed specified amount.
If more than one calculation is defined they will be done in the order left to right. i.e  +10 *2  will First add TEN and then Multiply by TWO. There must be a space between the functions.

This allows us to calculate the rate including Zambian add-on levies using a formula of /1.16 *1.275 on the NightRate value so that clients can send out more accurate confirmation letters.

The Interface document will be updated as soon as all of the information is available but please note that the FTP settings may be removed when the cloud version is to be used.
If the FTP version is to be used in a new installation, the "Cloud Reports" setting may be set to "No".
