This month, we are launching exciting product updates in Lemax. Learn about the details below (available from 06th March 2025).
“Apply margin” extended functionality
What’s new
The “Apply Margin” functionality has been enhanced to support commission calculations, correct formula adjustments, and provide additional margin and commission management flexibility. New fields have been added, including Markup %, Commission Amount, and Commission %, along with an option to keep the commission percentage fixed during price adjustments. The UI has been improved with correctly labeled fields and better layout adjustments.
This update is automatically available to you once the release is launched. Please note that the usage of this update could depend on system setups (which modules/products you use) and user roles.
Problem being solved
Previously, the “Apply Margin” functionality did not account for commission in its calculations, leading to incorrect pricing adjustments. Additionally, the UI lacked clarity in distinguishing between “Margin” and “Markup,” and the layout of the “Apply Margin” window was not optimal.
Benefit for the users
Users can now use the Apply margin calculator for price adjustments while considering commission information. The ability to freeze the commission percentage prevents unintended recalculations, improving financial control. UI improvements make the pricing structure more apparent, reducing errors and improving efficiency in handling pricing adjustments.
How it works
Apply margin calculator – new fields
- Markup % field, calculated as (Margin / Net Price) × 100
- Commission Amount (Selling Price – Net Price – Margin)
- Commission % (Commission / Selling Price) × 100
- Tooltips displaying formulas when hovering over field names
“Keep commission percentage“ feature
- “Keep Commission Percentage” checkbox and the system behavior:
- ticked → the Commission % field is locked and does not recalculate automatically once any other field is updated.
- unticked → the Commission % field is editable and adjusts dynamically when other fields change. (DEFAULT STATE)
UI improvements
New columns added to the “Reservation Details” and “All Reservations” grids
- “Commission %”
- “Partner Commission %”
Activity log enhancement
The text inside the “Activity“ log is extended to provide more information to the user
- OLD: “Reservation item updated.”
- NEW: “Reservation item updated with ‘Apply margin’ group action.”
Additional Reservation item information in the UI
What’s new
We’re excited to introduce updates that enhance the Reservation Details grid with additional information for both Regular and Operational reservations. These enhancements also apply to the Operations report and All Reservations report.
Additional information is:
- Contract name
- Capacity type
- Item creation date
- Margin calculation
- Additional comments
This update is automatically available to you once the release is launched. Please note that the usage of this update could depend on system setups (which modules/products you use) and user roles.
Problem being solved
Previously, some of this information was only visible when editing a specific Reservation item or not at all, which made managing Reservations more complicated.
Benefit for the users
With this update, you can access more details directly when managing a specific reservation or working with the All Reservations or Operations report.
How it works
Each User has to add new columns with Edit columns button
(New information is not automatically visible)
- Operations report and Reservation details
- Contain all new columns
- All Reservations report
- Has only Additional comments column
Improved reservation number color coding across the system
What’s new
Color coding of reservation status numbers is added to more places in the system.
This update is automatically available to you once the release is launched. Please note that the usage of this update could depend on system setups (which modules/products you use) and user roles.
Problem being solved
Previously, it was difficult to quickly identify a reservation’s precise status in different areas of the system. Users had limited or inconsistent visual cues, leading to confusion about whether a reservation was expiring, expired, or in an option status.
Benefit for the users
Users can now glance at the reservation color coding to instantly understand the status without opening each booking. This saves time, reduces errors, and provides a more seamless experience when managing multiple reservations.

Renamed ‘3rd party supplier log’
What’s new
The “3rd party supplier log” option in the Options menu has been renamed to “Other system logs“ to align with the common terminology used in client and user communications.
This update is automatically available to you once the release is launched. Please note that the usage of this update could depend on system setups (which modules/products you use) and user roles.
Benefit for the users
Users will now see a familiar and intuitive label in the Options menu, reducing misunderstandings and making navigation more seamless
How it works
The “3rd party supplier log” option in the Options menu is now displayed as “Other system logs“
Clicking Other system logs opens the same screen as before, with no changes to navigation, data display, or features. All functionalities are unchanged
“Red rooms” removed from the additional services and discounts
What’s new
The “is valid for” drop-down list in the Additional Services and Discounts setup now only displays active basic services for the selected contract. Additionally, the service name has been added to the basic service description in the drop-down field for clearer identification.
This update is automatically available to you once the release is launched.
Problem being solved
Previously, the drop-down list included all basic services from all contracts, including inactive ones (marked as “red rooms”). This caused confusion and potential misallocation of additional services and discounts. Moreover, the basic service name lacked sufficient details, making it difficult to distinguish between similar services.
Benefit for the users
Users can now more accurately assign additional services and discounts, ensuring they are only linked to active basic services within the correct contract. The improved naming convention in the drop-down list makes it easier to identify the correct service, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
How it works
“is valid for” drop-down list
Filters out inactive (“red”) basic services and only displays those that belong to the selected contract
This change applies to both Additional Services and Discounts setups.
Basic service name in the drop-down list
Includes the service type, description, and service name for clearer identification (e.g., “Pool Villa, Ocean View, Bed & Breakfast”)
This change applies to both Additional Services and Discounts setups.
