Prioritized Address Search Results with Google API Autocomplete

PostedMarch 1, 2024
UpdatedMarch 1, 2024

To increase the location accuracy and limit the results in the Google AutoComplete drop-down an update was made to the Google API to use the coordinates listed in the Company table to prioritize autocomplete address search results within 50km of the company location. These changes apply to all address search screens that include the Google suggested address drop-down in Customer Master.

Maintenance | Common | Company: The Google Autocomplete API uses the Starting Position coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) in the Company Editor screen as the center of a 50km (31-mile) radius of prioritized results. This change will keep the addresses suggested by the Google API within closer proximity to the company. Because the Google API suggests up to five addresses, if the number of matching results in the priority radius is less than five, and additional results outside of the radius exist, results outside of the radius will be included in the suggested addresses.

Maintenance | Common | Address: When the insert button is used to add an address and the coordinates in the Company Editor are set to New York City, with a priority radius of 50km, only New York City and Brooklyn addresses are suggested.

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.
