FTP and Zip Passwords Masked and Encrypted

In an effort to remain vigilant in cyber security practices to protect sensitive information within Customer Master, FTP and Zip Password fields have been masked and encrypted. Password characters will display as asterisks, and the password can be unmasked by clicking in the password field. Users at companies utilizing MACC’s Security can unmask the password fields if they have the correct security roles.

File | Preferences | Transmission Preferences | MACC tab: The FTP Password and Zip Password on the MACC tab have been masked and encrypted. In addition to the MACC tab, the following tabs and their FTP and/or Zip Password fields were also masked and encrypted:

  • Directory tab
  • Directory Assistance tab
  • E911 tab
  • LIDB/CNAM tab

Delinquents

No Penalty Option for Delinquents

A new “No Penalty” option is now available for delinquent accounts, so users have the ability to send a late notice to an account, but keep the account from getting a penalty. An Expire Date, Alert, and reports are available for accounts flagged No Penalty.

A No Penalty check box was added to the Credit Node of the Service Order, with a corresponding Expire Date drop-down calendar. When checked, the account can receive a delinquent notice, but will not get a late fee during the Penalties process. The Expire Date can be set to limit the amount of time the account is exempt from penalties.

A No Penalty Alert is available for both Inquiry and Payments at Maintenance | Common | Alerts, and will display in the Alerts window for any accounts flagged No Penalty.

The Non-Zero Balance Report found in the report’s menu of the Delinquent process, contains a new No Penalty column to aid in identifying No Penalty accounts.

The Credit Attributes report, and the Grid Report – Account can be used to discover accounts flagged as No Penalty. The Credit Attributes report has a new group box for No Penalty Options, and the Grid Report – Account includes No Penalty, and No Penalty Expire Date selections.
