Oscar Release 23

August 2026

This release focuses on enhancing financial precision, reporting reliability, and operational efficiency. We’ve introduced proactive guardrails like the Target Rate decoupling warning and unit-prompted notes to streamline the booking process. Significant upgrades to reporting—including SQL fixes for custom exports and optimized batch invoicing—ensure data accuracy, while critical stability fixes for the Schedule Board and bank reconciliation provide a more robust and dependable user experience.

 

Enhancements

Reservation Search - Sales Rep Filter & Column
Added a new Sales Rep filter and sortable columns to the Reservation Search screen to improve record tracking and management.

Target Rate - Reservation Decoupling Warning
Added a proactive warning message when extending a subunit reservation beyond the master reservation’s dates to prevent unintended Target Rate decoupling.

Reservation - Unit Prompted Note
Introduced a prompted note feature that displays unit-specific notes during the reservation booking process without requiring users to navigate to the unit record.

Reservation - New Invoice
Added a “New” button to the Reservation Invoice card, allowing users to generate invoices directly from the reservation screen.

Schedule Board - Unit Sort
Improved Schedule Board sorting to ensure sub-units and lead lines remain grouped with their parent units during sort operations.
