Setup Guide: Vacation Rental

Configure your Vacation Rental hub from scratch using the ERPlora AI Assistant. All commands below are sent to the Assistant at /m/assistant/.

Step 1 — Describe your business

Send this as your first message to the AI Assistant:

Hi! I have a holiday apartment in Faro, Portugal. It's called "Algarve Sun & Sea Apartment". I rent my flat to tourists by the week and fortnight. I manage bookings via Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct. I need to set up the full system.

The assistant will detect your business type and install the right modules. The hub will restart (1-2 min).

Step 2 — Configure everything

After restart, send this complete configuration message:

Perfect, modules are installed. Please configure everything:

- Business info: name "Algarve Sun & Sea Apartment", address "23 Avenida do Mar, Apartment 5B, 8000 Faro", VAT number PT678901234, phone 289 345 678, email algarvesunnsea@vacations.pt
- VAT: 6% included for tourist accommodation. 23% for extra services (additional cleaning, parking)
- Payment methods: card, Stripe, bank transfer
- Employees:
  - Consuelo Martins (Property Manager, PIN 1234)

Execute everything without asking further questions.

Notes

Tourism sector — reduced VAT rate for holiday accommodation when the owner provides hotel-like services (regular cleaning, linen changes, etc.). If the rental is purely a lease without services, it may be exempt. A tourist accommodation licence is mandatory in most EU countries. A tourist tax may apply in certain cities and must be collected from guests. Guest registration may be required by local law.
