Features & Fixes Details
Autopay configuration by Affiliate
A new configuration can be found under Affiliates Manager to set up recurring billing. As a result, recurring billing can be mandatory or optional for enrollments tied to the affiliate’s plans. There is a new dropdown with three options: Inherit customer type configuration, Require recurring billing, Optional recurring billing.
This configuration works along the existing Customer Type configuration or it can be overridden with the options to require or make recurring billing optional during the enrollment process.
Enhancements for ETF Management and ESG Billing System
OpsAdmin now allows customizing which customer types can submit ETF information to P2C. A new checkbox can be found under Types Setup >> Customer Types:
This new setting works along the existing utility setting for the same purpose that can be found under Utility Manager.
Also, the Cancellation Fee Type under Plans Manager is the field used to define the XML tags sent to P2C when submitting a new enrollment request:
| Cancellation Fee Type | Value for ETF_Type_Desc | Value for ETF_Value_Amt |
| Fixed | Flat | Value under Cancellation Fee field |
| Monthly | Monthly Flat | Value under Cancellation Fee field |
| Anual/Daily | Monthly Flat | Value under Cancellation Fee field calculated like a monthly value, dividing by 12 or multiplying by 30 |
Enhancements for ETF Management and ECI Billing System
When submitting a new enrollment to the ECI Billing System, OpsAdmin now checks the ETF setting under Utility Manager. For this billing system, there is no validation tied to the Customer Type as it is in P2C.
The value entered in Cancellation Fee (Plans Manager) is submitted without performing any calculation. OpsAdmin now displays a small warning that utilities that work with the ECI Billing System can only set up Fixed cancellation fee types.
