Customers on ACH and on Payment Arrangement
It would be helpful if the Auto Draft would be able to pull the arrangement amount which includes the current amount due. Right now, a customer needs to either remove their Auto Draft information or we must go in and manually (remember to) change the amount that should be drafted each month. See the attachment. There also needs to be a way for there to be a one-time payment, like the $100.00 only, in the arrangement since they must pay something.
Example:
If the bill was $600.00 due 12/15, and their arraignment was that they would
pay $100.00 on 12/15…7 votesThank you for your suggestion. We have enhanced the Auto Draft functionality to support payment arrangements that automatically include both the arrangement amount and the current billing charges when the customer selects “Pay Account Balance” or “Required Amount” on the Auto Draft tab. This update allows Auto Draft to dynamically adjust each month to draft the correct total without requiring staff to manually update the draft amount or remove Auto Draft information.

Audit Trail
To provide a more in-depth audit report. For example, we would like to know who changed or deleted the phone number or email address, or who edited to usage rate. Currently the audit report only shows who viewed the account and not any changes that a specific user made.
10 votesThis Audit Trail work has been completed and is now in UMS version 6.9.

Sort shutoff service orders by route
We do all our shutoffs in one day so we need to print service orders for the entire company but it doesn't give us an option to sort by route which would be much more helpful and efficient. We'd like to be able to sort by route when in the create service orders screen during the shutoff delinquency process

delete old meter inventory
When installing a new meter the list of model numbers is too long - mostly consisting of old meter types. These should be deleted so to just show the current meter model numbers.
1 voteYou can now disable unused inventory models in versions 6.8+. To do this, go to Setup > Setup Inventory Model and edit those you wish to mark as inactive by unchecking the ‘Active’ box. If you need assistance, please reach out to our technical support staff.

Click Through Accounts By Sequence Order
It would be super beneficial to be able to sift through the accounts by sequence order. For example, if I am in account #618 I would like to check a box that says sequence order so when I press the next or previous arrow it takes me to the one in reading sequence order.
1 voteThis is already an option by going to Setup > Customize Account Control Panel and slide the 'Sort by Route Read Sequence' over to the assigned side and save. Please reach out to our support staff if you need assistance.

Please lengthen time or eliminate the timing out on Service Orders, they time out too quickly!
Often while working on Service Orders, they time out too quickly and we have to start over after having entered lots of information that then disappears. It is very frustrating as we are a small operation stretched thin not a lot of time to waste re-doing our work. Is there any way to significantly lengthen the time we can be in a service order before it times out or can we eliminate them timing out altogether? Thanks!
17 votesThis has been completed and the time out setting is now set to 4 hours by default in Version 6.10.

Multiple E-Bill Templates
Setup -> Configure E-bill
For the most part, we send out the same e-bill with the same verbiage each billing cycle. However, twice a year, we have to edit our e-bill to include verbiage about our water quality reports. Because we have (3) different districts, we have to edit our e-bill configuration (3) times. Rather than editing our e-bill verbiage, we would like a way to save multiple e-bill templates. That way, we can just pick which e-bill we would like to send.
14 votesThanks for voting on this idea. We're happy to share that the ability to configure multiple e-Bill templates has been delivered on our browser-based UB4 platform. Users can now configure multiple e-Bill templates in UB4 and select the appropriate template as needed.
This enhancement was built specifically for UB4 and represents the path forward for this capability. If your organization would like to take advantage of this feature, our Customer Success Team would be glad to talk through what a transition to UB4 could look like for you.
To start that conversation, or to discuss the future of UB4 for your organization, please reach out to our Customer Success Team.

Multiple Penalties & Interest Options
The functionality allows users to create multiple penalties and interest rates, however, when going to calculate it, the system always defaults to one. It would be easier to have the multiple option so that users can use specific rates with a variety of accounts.
6 votesBecause interest and penalty codes are specifically tied to the rate, multiple interest/penalty codes are currently permitted and functional within the software. Please reach out to technical support if you need help setting these up.

Credit Card Failures
We would like to see emails automatically sent to customers who's reoccurring credit card payments fail stating the same error we receive on the error report

Rework Disallowed Payment Methods
We have a customer we would like to disallow online credit card and online check payments for. However, after check marking those methods in the attached screen, the customers is still able to make payments using those payment methods online. It does not keep the customer from being able to make their payment. It only leaves the payment "stuck in Gateway." And then our office either has to refund or import the payment and notify the customer. If the customer attempts to make a disallowed payment, they should receive an error message stating so, and to contact our office.
6 votesWe are pleased to inform you that the requested software enhancement has been successfully completed.
The enhancement ensures that when a customer is designated to disallow online credit card and online check payments, the system will now prevent those payment methods from being processed online, rather than the payment being processed and left “stuck in Gateway.”
This update resolves the previous issue where disallowed payment attempts were still processed and required manual intervention.
Please contact techsupport@cusi.com if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Mass Add Wizard
If a Property Manager manages multiple properties, currently, we are having to add the contact to each account with any corresponding notes, attachments, misc fees, etc. For example, if the Property Manager managed 90 accounts, owned by different owners, it would be helpful to have some sort of Wizard Mass add function with the ability to add the accounts we would like to update and have the option of adding any of the listed items at the same time. This would helpful workflow and processing time for staff. We had something similar from our old system and really helped with…

Filter Options For Miscellaneous Rates
Referring to Ticket 89901 (images available)
When filtering reports or any limit option by rate codes, Miscellaneous does not have the ability to choose the rates we have added to our system, instead it gives a generic "MISC or "MISCM". It would be helpful to pull reports with the ability to differentiate the different types of Misc rates rather than having to spend the time to filter the file each time we pull a report. It will be extremely helpful also when posting transactions.

Lock on Location
When a meter is locked, but the service is still active, we would like for that to be notated with a locking symbol (or something similar) on the location. Maybe a box near the rental box on the location details tab that would make the lock appear? Example of what we are looking for is attached!
1 voteDiscussed with the customer about adding an account status of 'Locked' with a 'Lock' Icon. She said that should accommodate her needs.

Include the "Use Minimum" and "Use Allowance" boxes during changeout process
During the meter/register change out process, have the "Use Allowance" and "Use Minimum" from the Utilization tab to avoid the double charge to the customer.
1 voteUpon research with the implementation manager, this really is a non-issue as long as the outgoing meter is marked as 'changed out' and not just 'removed' when doing the change out process. If the meter is just 'removed' and another meter installed, the account will charge two minimums after the 'removal' where as a 'changed out' meter will ignore the 'Use Minimum' and 'Use Allowance' checkboxes.

Customer address changes
Can you add "Current Occupant" to the contacts to include when running Location Contact list? I need to send information to the location address, doesn't matter who's occupying the residence.
1 voteDiscussed a workaround for the customer to get what is needed for this request.

discount for ebill and or draft customers
