  1. Reporting Shut Offs by assignment date?

    Is it possible to generate a list of customers who’s Account status on the Customer tab on the Account Control Panel is defined as “Shut off.” Additionally, if this report can be generated, can it tell us when the status was changed? The “Date Status Assigned” appears to the right of the dropdown box pertaining to Account status but I was wondering if this could be reproduced in the report I’m looking for.

  2. 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

  3. Consumption Charges Based on Meter Usage, Not Total Account Usage

    Consumption allowances need to be associated with the meters and not the total usage on the account. If an account has a consumption allowance of 3,000 g, but has 2 meters, it should not now have an overall allowance of 6,000 g. Consumption charges should apply to any usage at each meter that exceeds 3,000 g.

  5. Allow line breaks in message communications

    When composing an email, allow line breaks between the message's paragraphs, like they appear when sending out messages through the Customer Contact Wizard. As it is right now, no matter how you format the message, it is delivered as one paragraph. See attached example.

  7. add note with attachment to all accounts in a misc. fee batch

    When processing shut offs under the Utility Services Tenants Rights Act it is necessary to keep good records. The inability to save a PDF of a complete report attached to the account notes in mass is debilitating.

    Example: the certified letters are not recorded as such because they don't run out of UMS as certified letters. We have to sticker and scan those.

    I would like to be able to attach that PDF record of scanned letters and envelopes (confirmation of delivery by court standards) to the accounts. Right now that has to be one 1 location at a time.

  8. create delinquency - export button next to process button

    The "Create Delinquency" window doesn't have an explicit 'Export' button, The only option is to first preview/process the report, then export from there, but that creates an odd "crystal reports" csv file rather than a standard csv file.
    .

    it would be really helpful to be able to export directly to a standard csv file.

  12. Calculate Bills

    Calculate – Bill Process – Allow for a drop-down option or field where we can calculate multiple accounts at a time. Currently for loose bills we can only calculate one account at a time; so being able to have the option to enter multiple accounts, would make the calculation process for loss bills much easier and less time consuming. As seen in the example below, we can manually enter the accounts we want to bill or calculate.

  13. Meter Change Report

    Meter change report – To allow the meter changeout report to include the old and new meter number and reading. Currently the report only provides the old meter information, so we must pull another report and do a comparison with the account numbers to get the new meter information. Also including the removal reason in the changeout report. Being able to properly track the reason why our meters are being changed is very important, so that we can determine if a specific brand or make of meters should be re-purchased. The option to select the removal is available, but its…

To insert a column that will allow the selecting of the specific accounts for posting.

  20. Tax Exempt Certificate Management

    A business customer has a meter with usage and should not be incurring sales tax because they have a tax exemption certificate. These tax exemption certificates have an expiration date. Please add the ability for a customer account to have information regarding tax exemption: active or inactive and the expiration date. We need to send out reminders to those customers when their tax exemption is expiring so we can get their updated certificate. It is also an onboarding step for new business customers to ask for their certificate if they have one.
