Aria6 Features  

Make "Default For Payment Method Removals" Configurable (DEV-5216)

This new field, Default for Payment Method Removals, enables you to specify the type of payment method that an account defaults to when its primary payment method is removed and no account-level backup payment method is specified.

Setting a Backup Payment Method

Getting Here: Click Configuration > Payments > Payment Methods > Select a payment method.

You can select the default payment method if the primary payment method is removed from the account. Use the drop-down menu to select an available payment method to use.

A new payment method is determined as follows:

  • If a backup payment method is specified on an account, that becomes the new primary payment method.
  • If no backup payment method is specified on an account, then the contact information is copied from the removed primary payment method, and the new primary payment method is created based on the value in the Default for Payment Method Removals drop-down.

  • Master/Supplemental Plan Icons: An M or an S in the first column identifies each plan as either a master plan or a supplemental plan.
  • Sort By Column: By clicking the up/down arrows by each column name, you can sort the display by the values in that column.

  • New Columns: The following new columns are available for display:
    • Currency: The money system of the country where the plan is billed.
    • Rate Schedule Count: The number of rate schedules associated with the plan.

  • Apply to Anniversary Statements Only: Check this box if you want these values to apply only to regularly generated statements on the account's anniversary date, and not to manually generated statements.

Usage Pooling and Usage Unit Thresholds Can Be Set on Plans In Active and Pending Status (DEV-4656)

Usage thresholding, based on plan units, can be assigned at the plan/service level unless you are using Usage Pooling, when the threshold must be set at the account level. When a mid-period plan change is made, the plan that is being added to an account is put into an Active Pending status until the designated date. (Next Anniversary Bill Date or Future Date). You can now specify usage pool and threshold information on active pending plans to accommodate a mid-period plan change.
