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…

Bad debt maximum past due balance
When running the Bad Debt Process, we do not want accounts that have over $10 balance to calculate. It would be handy to be able to put in a Maximum Past Due Balance field similar to the minimum so we do not calculate for accounts that owe over $10.
We would like a field on the adjustment process screen as well to only take off credits under $10 or on the Open Balance Report let us enter an amount.

Ability to Split Imported Payments from Gateway
We had a customer make a payment through the CWP. When they paid on the CWP, they paid on (2) locations with the same customer number by making (1) payment. This payment got "stuck" in Gateway and needed to be imported to the customers account(s). Gateway does not give the option to split the imported payment across the (2) locations. If the customer was able to select the (2) locations on the CWP to split the payment, it would be nice to have the option to split the payment when importing from Gateway. Instead, we had to import the payment…

2023 User Summit-Limit dates on expiring credit cards
- Limit dates on expiring credit cards:
I started it running with these parameters. It took 3 minutes to run and returned the first screen below here:(pic 1)
You can see the first line expired in October 2021, the others in 2022. There are 84 entries, of which only 16 expire in November 2023. To unselect one requires 2 clicks on the check box; one to select the box, another to uncheck it. It would be great if the report only returned the ones that actually expire in November 2023 and ignore the prior months.(PIC 2)

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.

Customer Contact Wizard Sequence Number
Customer Contact wizard to add sequence number to "Sort Order" as an option. Due to not the whole route needing to be notified of a leak for example, sequence number "Sort Order" would be easier to inform all the customers whom it affects without having to put in all the streets or removing everyone that it doesn't affect.

Enhanced Portal Display/Reporting for Customer Service
The issue is that customers on the cutoff list are not paying the full $30 fee ($15 for disconnection and $15 for reconnection). The current portal does not clearly display this information, making it difficult for customer service to verify payments accurately.
When a customer pays only their past-due bill without including the required $30 fee, their service will not be reconnected, leading to their frustration. Our customer service team currently searches for these customers using a report that is limited and informs customers of the outstanding $30 fee, but this process is inefficient. A clearer, more streamlined solution is…

6.10 update - usage history button
What a treat viewing usage history on the enter readings screen, very helpful. Any chance you could enhance this more by modifying into the very same usage tab that's on the Account Control Panel? How great it would be to regroup every detail.
Thank you for your consideration,

Customer Tab Active Box
Get rid of Customer Tab Active Box and make Active equal to Current and Inactive equal to Final. Location active and inactive would have the preface of location or service to know the difference. This is needed for UB4 as well. Users can deactivate the services if not needing to bill. That way reporting does not change with the active customer box.

Mass Entry of Locations
We support a growing community where a new neighborhood of houses is developed with over 100 houses many times a year. We need an import tool from excel that allows us to mass enter new locations so we don't have to enter each one manually one by one.

Automatic Website Maintenance Mode
We would like to be able to have our website go into maintenance mode every evening 15 before and after our batches settles. This would help immensely with reconciliation and customers who pay right when our batches close.We know there is a way to manually do it every single day, but we would like for it to be automatic.

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…7 votes -
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.

Ability to select default payment when batch has multiple payment types
It would be nice to set a default payment type when having a batch that allows multiple payment types. For example, everything is defaulted to cash when taking a payment when all types are allowed, however, the bulk of our workplace payments are by check so it would be nice to have it defaulted to a different option.

Consolidated bills
The ability to email a consolidated to the master account only. We were told that consolidated bills have to be printed and physically mailed. Our consolidated customer received their bills via email. The idea of a consolidated bill is good but there's room for much inprovement.

Contacts should have the same "Type" fields as Customers
Contacts should also have a "Type" similar to the Customer Types "Individual, Profit, Non Profit, Government".
We need to enter business information as a contact but, are forced not to follow best practices and enter them as an individual with a first name and last name.

One week email notification prior to ACH Autopay Transactions
We have customers - property managers in particular - who would like to receive an email notification prior to ACH autopayment transactions being applied. Many utilities with autopay features do provide an email notification a week prior to the transaction being applied. This helps our customers to ensure funds are available and prevent declines/fees.
