Upcoming Release - 4.1.0

Billing

  • Add support of IPPay payment gateway provider

  • Invoices of companies now have ZUGFERD format

Overdue Debts

Provisioning

  • Allow user to change Wifi settings for DOCSIS modems too (SSID, channel, password)

Voip

  • Allow reuse of deactivated phonenumbers

Version 4.0.0

NMSPrime is now running on RHEL9/Rocky9

Billing - Important changes on settlement run:

  • Contract end date is now treated like item end date - so contract is still valid on the entered day. Until now with contract end of 2024-05-31 the customer had no internet service anymore, but he was charged for the day.

  • Item price can now be specified (overwritten) for each item individually

  • Items now have a 'charged_until' date. When start date is far in the past the item will now charged for all the time from start date to the accounting period of the current settlement run

  • Each month of multiple month accounting periods (quarterly, yearly, semiannual, ...) is now considered with same price on partly charged items - not just simply the amount of days to total days . Within partly charged months the amount of days to total days in month is still considered to calculate the amount to charge.

  • Restitutions (of overpayed items - e.g. due to cancelation) are now determined automatically

  • Funds are added to last invoice when contract is canceled. This can be changed for each customer in the contract.

  • Settlementrun is now automatically validated via 2 checks

    • sum of booking record amounts must be equal to control sum of SEPA xml

    • count of non zero amount booking records must be equal to count of SEPA xml transaction

  • Added more Accounting/Billing cycles to products (e.g. semiannual)

  • Settlement run can now be executed for future or past months

  • Valid SEPA mandate is now determined according to the due date of settlement run. If mandate is not valid on this date the customer will be treated as cash payer
