Approve service and maintenance requests
Review add-on and maintenance requests from guests, set a price, approve or reject, then let the guest know.
The Requests page collects two kinds of guest request: add-on service requests and maintenance complaints. Each row shows the request name, listing and stay dates, and its status. You can confirm the price, change the billing method, write a note to the guest, then approve or reject the request.
Steps
- Open Requests. By default the list is filtered to requests with Pending status.
- Use the two filters at the top to change the type (Service requests or Maintenance) and status (Pending, Approved, Awaiting payment, Paid and others).
- Press Manage on a row to open its details. Maintenance requests show the photos the guest sent.
- For a service request, confirm the price in RM and the billing method. The price cannot be negative.
- Write a note to the guest if needed, then save with the correct status.
- To reject, use the reject dialog and give the reason. The reason is saved as a note.
- After approving, use the WhatsApp button to send the guest a ready-made message with the request name, amount and billing method.
What it does not do
- Maintenance requests have no price. The price and billing method fields only apply to service requests.
- The WhatsApp button needs a phone number in the guest's profile. Without a number, the message cannot be prepared.
- There are no bulk actions. Each request is approved or rejected one at a time.
- This page does not create requests on behalf of guests. Requests come from guests only.
- There is no assignment to vendors or technicians, and no completion date on maintenance requests.
- Changing the status does not collect payment by itself. Payment is still recorded through the normal payment flow.
