delete purge old customer data, history, re-use number
I would like the option and ability to select customers to remove/ delete after a period of inactivity that I choose such as 5 years, 10 years, etc. It would not affect Location notes, data, items specific to location, would not affect meter changes/ data but would delete that specific customer's financial history and make their customer number now available for use. - for customers that move away and never return, for instance; their data taking up space. My desire would be that this is a manual task I would elect to do every 5 years. It would be great…

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…

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.

Balances stays with account number instead of address.
It would save a lot of time if the balance would stay with the account numbers and not addresses. Right now we have a lot of landlords that has lots of addresses. They have a deposit that they can bounce to other addresses when needed. So we are having to click on each address that has been attached before to see if it has a balance or not. Would be alot easier if it would just stay to the account number that way when we type in the account number for that landlord it would pull up all the bills…

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.

Add date created/ tran date to financial reporting to reconcile numbers across reports
When running reporting in UMS, it is difficult to match numbers. We found that the transaction list runs off of transaction date but the customer payment history report uses both. We would like the option to use date created and tran date on ALL financial reporting. The most important report at this time would be the transaction list.

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.

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.

Expiration Date for Disallow Payment Methods
An expiration date is needed to disallow payment methods. There is no mass way to reset or mass clear disallowed payment methods. Many utilities want these to expire after 12 months.

disallowed payments by location and/or customer instead of just customer with expiration
Function for disallowed payments by location instead of by customer (or if we could do customer and/or location). For example a landlord has mulitple locations, but only one location is not allowed to pay by check. Also an expriation date for each disallowed payment type.

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…

schedule enable/disable scheduled ach
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.

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.

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::…

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 -
Deposit Register Sort Order
It would be beneficial to have a "charge date" sort order option. We would like to review the oldest deposits on file to ensure security deposit refund accuracy. Thank you
