Features
In this section you’ll find details of new features we’ve added to the platform that we think you will find interesting.
Work Orders
Two new features were added to Work Orders in this release, both related to cancellations of work.
Cancelling a Quotable Work Order
You can now cancel an entire quotable work order (and all of its sub-jobs) with a single “Cancel Work Order” link. When clicking this link all suppliers who you requested quotes from are notified that the work order has been cancelled. [PHX-4068]
Removing a single supplier from a quote request
Where you have a quotable work order with multiple suppliers, you can now remove a single supplier from the quote request without having to cancel the whole work order. [PHX-4069]
DebtCol
The DebtCol implementation now supports charging a disbursement fee at the point of the API triggering to create a case. It also allows you to pass that fee to the unit in question by way of an automatic journal. This feature has a settings screen to allow you to configure the journal text and disbursement used. [PHX-5345][PHX-5436]
New Levy Payment Methods
We now provide support for customers in Australia that are not using Macquarie Bank and wish to have dedicated BPay support for their properties. A “BPay Biller Code” can be configured for each property, and a “BPay CRN” for each unit. [PHX-5006]
Additional Charges: Commissions
