Description
The Direct Debit Export has been modified to make this module portable to v7 so that it can
be used for SEI DD Extracts.
The following modifications have been made to the Direct Debit process:
• The DD export processing has been moved from the User Interface (IIS) to an
external background server process like Billcalc, accrual etc.
• Now, only one instance of DD export process is launched through itSrvcMngr
service. This is achieved through a lock entry mechanism.
• The background running process of the DD export will poll the request from
WBILLDIRS and process it appropriately.
Dunning Letter
Description
The Dunning Letter is a new feature introduced in 7.1 and merged to 7.2. A dunning letter
is a notification sent to a customer, stating that the customer is overdue in paying an
account receivable to the sender. This option within the Advantage Fee application allows
for generating dunning letter requests, viewing all dunning letter requests in a list and
downloading/emailing selected letters generated under any request.
Equation Optimization
Description
The Equation functionality has been optimized to improve performance delays due
to Billcalc evaluating equations inefficiently.
Installation
201508085931 A new third party certificate on the webserver where Advantage Fee is
deployed has been installed and configured to coincide with the
Advantage Fee installation.
