Application Features
Individual Line Item Percentage Allocation of Cash Credits (DEV-6736)
This feature enhances how you can apply a cash credit to individual invoice-level or service-level charges on an account. The credit can still be applied as a specific amount, and can now be divided across several items as a percentage of a total credit.
Creating a Cash Credit
Getting Here: Click Accounts > search for an account > Payments & Credits > Cash Credits
- Click New. The Create New Credit screen displays.
- Fill in the Credit Reason, CSR Comment, and Qualifier fields.
- Select an option from the Apply Against field. New options for this feature are as follows:
- Invoices and other account-level charges: Selecting this option presents a list of account-level charges.
- Services (invoice line-items): Selecting this option presents a list of all unpaid charges on the account. Items in this list may be filtered by Master Plan Instance.
If you select either Invoices and other account-level charges or Services (invoice line-items), the following options display:
- Assign credit amount to each item: Each account-level line item charge displays an Amount field where you can enter the amount of the credit.
- Assign percentage of total credit amount to each line item: A Credit Amount field displays where you enter the total amount of the credit you are applying. Each account-level line item charge displays a % of Total Credit field where you specify the percentage of the credit you are applying to that item. The total percentage of the credit for all lines must equal 100%. The amount of the credit automatically displays in the Amount column.
The following graphic shows a cash credit of $50 being applied to services on an account. The first service is receiving 85% of the credit, the second service is receiving 10% of the credit, and the third service is receiving 5% of the credit.
- Click Create Credit.
A confirmation screen displays.
- Confirm your entry, then click Create Credit.
The cash credit immediately reduces the customer's current outstanding balance.
Display of Payment Processor Confirmation Number (DEV-6735)
This feature adds the payment processor confirmation number to the Account Overview and Payment History screens.
Getting Here: Click Accounts > Search for and select an account > Account Overview
Getting Here: Click Accounts > Search for and select an account > Payments & Credits > Payments
Changes to Account Invoice Screen (DEV-6816)
This feature enhances the account invoice screen. For prorated transactions, an additional column displays with proration information. This column, Proration Factor, shows the number of days for which the transaction is being billed, and the total number of days in the billing cycle. Hovering your mouse over the information icon for this type of transaction shows how the prorated total for the transaction was calculated.
Credit Notes (DEV-6459)
This feature enables credit notes to be sent to a designated contact when the following events occur:
- Cash Credit: When a cash credit is issued, an email is sent to the account holder.
- Void Invoice: When an invoice is voided, an email is sent to the first available contact in the following list:
- Statement contact
- Billing contact
- Account contact
- Refund-related Reversal: An email is sent to the first available contact in the following list. Because a refund may apply to multiple billing groups, a separate email is sent for each billing group.
- Statement contact
- Billing contact
- Account number
For any event, if an email is not configured at the at the statement, billing, or account, an email is sent to the following default address: <Account userid>@<Client domain> Ex: TestUser@Web.Domain.com.
Client Contract ID Added When Creating and Editing Contracts (DEV-6540)
This feature allows you to specify the Client Contract ID when creating and editing a contract.
Getting Here: Click Accounts > search for an account > Plans > Contracts tab > Create a New Contract

Vertex Tax Refunds Display as Reversals (DEV-6625)
This feature enhances the handling of partial refunds for clients using the Vertex tax engine, so reporting, as well as invoices, accurately reflect the transactions.
Usage Tier Improvement (DEV-6573)
This feature enhances usage recording. When usage is added to an account and moves into the next tier of pricing, but then some usage is discarded so there is only enough for the previous tier, the usage cost now reflects the appropriate tier.
Account Search (DEV-6783)
