The following upgrades, fixes and tweaks occurred between the 29th May - 11th June 2020.
NBN services utilising Fixed Wireless can now be ordered and provisioned via Emersion.
Emersion's Cumulus user interface contains two invoice lists.
Both invoice lists have been undergone a few changes.
New Default View with Show Detail button.

When showing the detail:
The Payable Adjustments column = AOG Inc Tax – PPD inc Tax.
The Payable After Adjustments column = Payable + AOG Inc tax – PPD inc Tax.
Users need to use the left and right arrows attached to the bottom of the invoice list table to see the left most and right most columns respectively.
All Of Government applies only in New Zealand. |
While the invoice is pending, the AOG fees are included in the balance at generation figure, but is not counted in the current charges figure. Strictly speaking, the AOG fee is not yet a charge on the invoice and has not been fully realised, however we include it in the balance at generation figure for presentation purposes.
During invoice approval, the AOG fee gets converted to a cardline and placed on the invoice being approved.
A new invoice layout is now available called the Invoice Layout Agent-Based, specifically designed to suit invoicing agents. The layout's design is based on Invoice Layout 1.

An issue has been fixed that left the previous invoice in a status of Re-Rating, meaning the system not to produce the next invoice when expected.
Emersion have enhanced the Finance > Accounts receivable > Pending Cardlines page to be faster and to resolve an issue that resulted in a single customer having 2 pending invoices.
The Westpac NZ BACHO file now contains the account and business partner number.
Emersion have fixed an error that was appearing when users selected an event mapping when creating an message template.
An issue preventing users from being able to send bulk email or bulk SMS has been fixed.
On the Admin > Org Units and Roles the sub tabs Org Units and Roles tab now display the relevant ID and allow users to search via the ID column.
The Prompt Payment Discount calculation will now include credit cardlines.

Emersion have fixed an issue preventing users from accessing the Admin > Settings > End User Portal page.
The Cardline Management importer has undergone a performance enhancement and removed some redundancy that was unnecessarily slowing its operation.
Emersion have fixed an issue related to errors being thrown when the user was receiving a payment against a contact in Xero and the integration synchronising the payment, with the associated allocation, against a linked invoice. The issue was occurring specifically when a customer has a payment in Xero allocated to more than 1 linked invoice. Previously only a single payment (and allocation) is brought into Emersion with no way to bring in any other allocations. This has been rectified.
Emersion have altered the following APIs to enable submitting some of the 'non-editable' properties that would usually be handled by Cumulus during an order.
Emersion have fixed the PerformVocusNBNSQ API to set the SQ_Date.
