Make IVR payments labeled as made through IVR system, not as Online Credit Card payments
IVR payments should be noted as being made through IVR system on customer's transaction history instead of labeled as online credit card payments made through guestpay so if there is an issue with a payment, you can differentiate how payment was made.

Be able to schedule an enable or disable for scheduled ACH. Background: I'm going away and there will not be anyone to process them, so we don't want the customers to have access during that time.

Break Out Delinquencies in Communication Preferences
Our organization currently utilizes the system’s Communication Preferences functionality to manage automated notifications related to customer delinquencies. At present, the system defaults all delinquency-related notifications to a single, unified communication preference setting, which is robocall. This creates challenges when we attempt to tailor communications based on the stage or severity of the delinquency.
Current Process: We run penalties and send out corresponding penalty notices.
Separately, we process shutoff actions for accounts that have escalated beyond the penalty phase.
The system’s default robocall configuration applies uniformly to all delinquency stages, without allowing differentiation between penalty communications and shutoff communications.Business Need::…

Provide option to add additional emails for a user
Currently only one email can be added to a user in Security Setup, but a CSR may have 2 emails; their individual email and the CSR group email. Having the option to add a second email to a user's Security Setup will allow payment notification to be sent to the second email, which could be their CSR group email.

Add Payment Reversals to Customer Payment History Report.
Program Payment Reversal code into this report so I can balance this report to the Payconnex settlement. There is no audit trail, and I must manually adjust and notate it was a reversal. I uploaded an example. I did print a transaction report for Payment Reversal, but it needs to be included in the total on the Customer Payment History Report.

Add Account Status Filter/Sort to Delinquency Register Report
During the 2025 User Group, feedback was provided that while UMS currently allows filtering by Account Status (Custom Account Status from Setup >> Account Status) on the Create Delinquency screen, this option is not available on the Delinquency Register Report. Utilities, including Northshore, rely on the Account Status flag during delinquency processes. Adding the ability to filter or sort by Account Status on the Delinquency Register would allow users to:
Quickly identify which accounts require delinquency actions.
Make the process more granular and streamlined.
Improve operational efficiency by aligning reporting with existing delinquency workflows.
Business Impact:
Many utilities use the…9 votes -
Autopay filter
I know that an autopay checkbox has been added in Statements, but it would be great to have a limit option or checkbox in the Customer Contact Wizard to be able to pinpoint those customers for communications.

Apply Taxes Based on Taxing Authority and Rate Code - Not Just Rate Code
We currently have 6 different taxing authorities which requires us to maintain 7 different sets of rate codes. This means we have well over 200 rate codes. If taxes could be applied based on the combination of taxing authority and rate codes, we would only need to deal with 30-40 rate codes.

Electronic ACH
Allowing Merchant Services to pull ACH Draft like they already do for credit cards that are on auto draft. Instead of having to create a NACHA File. This would help with any human error and human interceptions.

Viewing Financial Status + Utility Status in Customer Search Screen
It would be extremely helpful to see the financial status (past-due, shut off) in addition to the utility status when using customer search option. This would be most helpful for accounts that have multiple (20+) locations.

Automated E-Billing & Autopay Incentive Feature
This proposal requests the development of a new, touchless software feature designed to automatically reward customers who enroll in both E-Billing (paperless) and Autopay.
By creating a method for zero staff touchpoints we would be able to maximize the cost savings to our customers and provide a larger incentive (statement credit). That proivdes us the opportunity for boosting customer loyalty to our most efficient customers.
The feaure would have 3 steps;
1. Capture ebill (no paper) customers' company number, account number, and location number (the requirements of a mass add/mass adjustment),When the autopay file is generated any matching sequences…

IVR to Confirm Address
We would like the IVR to confirm the customers address after entering their account numbers. Example: acct# 2356 for the IVR to say you are paying the bill for 123 Barndoor Rd. is this correct? We have customers paying the wrong accounts. all the time because they do not know the correct account number.

Autopay Fixed Amount Improvements
An autopay option that will allow a fixed amount, but would also allow the entire balance to be drafted if the bill is higher than the fixed amount.
Our customer has her draft set up with a fixed amount of $75, but since it was less than the bill amount, it only drafted the $75.
She likes to keep a credit on her account, and her balance is typically lower, but due to the lower temperatures we had in this billing period and the fuel adjustment cost, her bill was almost $200.
She didn't realize that, with her autopay set…

Memorized Report Parameters
I need to run several reports at the end of every month, and it would sure be nice if we were able to "memorize" each report and have a dedicated folder for "User Reports" to save time at the end of each month. For those that use QuickBooks, I'm thinking something like how you can memorize reports in their program. What do you think?

budget billing reconciliation automated report
I would like the budget billing reconciliation report to have an automated option where it sends it to my email as a pdf on the first of each month. Other reports are able to be handled by the scheduled task, I'd like this to be included.
