CO-HOST/MTR HOSTS UNITE: Direct Remittance Field API Access/Automatic Updates

CO-HOSTS/MTR HOSTS - After implementing 4 different PMS, we have found OwnerRez to be the closest (by far) to what is needed for those of us who do both STR & MTR, as well as Co-Hosting where the Owner receives the payout from the Guest/OTA and we invoice the Owner for our services/expenses.  Up vote to make OR the premier choice for all Co-Hosts/STR-MTR Hybrid Hosts!

In order to make monthly Owner Statements (sort of ) correct for Co-Hosts who's Owners receive the Guest/OTA payout directly, OR Documentation advises to update the Direct Remittance field on the PM tab with the net payout amount the Owner has received.   This is a manual process for each booking each month.  We first have to lookup/calculate the total net payout amount (may have received more than one separate payments that need to be added together) in OR.  We then need to update the Direct Remittance field on the PM tab with this amount.   All of the information is available in OR....why so many manual steps for every booking every month?!

1) Quick(er) Solution - Enable read/write API access to the Direct Remittance field on the PM tab.  Co-Hosts can then use external tools to do the calculations and update this field.  (why aren't all fields at least able to be read via API anyway???)

2) Longer Term Solution - Each Owner and/or Property should have a checkbox that indicates it is being Co-Hosted where the Owner Receives Payouts Directly.  When a payment date arrives and/or a deposit is received (need to noodle on the trigger a bit more), OR should automatically update the Direct Remittance field on the PM tab with the total net payments received to date for any Properties where the Owner Receives Payout Directly box is checked.

3) Bonus Solution for Owner Statements building on #2 above (but probably a separate feature request) -  Owner Statements show the Remitting Now field as a positive number instead of a negative for Bookings of Properties where the Owner Receives Payouts Directly box is checked.   Or stop making the Remitting Now field mandatory...we could simply Remitting Now field in a Custom Formula field and multiply by -1 ourselves...however we are forced to show the Remitting Now field anyway.   This would result in A LOT LESS CONFUSION and cycles explaining why that number is negative to Owners!
