BHPH

Update Customer address on BHPH account/Phone from Contact

We are now updating the customer’s phone number, email address, and address on the BHPH customer record when the manage contact info section of the collection tab is updated. This is to help sync the contact info of the customer when collection reps make updates while doing their collection activities.

 

To update the customer’s contact info from the collections tab, users will click on “Manage Contact Info” add a new Phone/Email/Address, and mark it as active.

For the phone number, if the “Consent to Call” is marked no, the Do Not Contact (DNC) notification will appear when trying to call using that number.

Printing/Exporting Payment History

We have added the ability to print a BHPH account’s payment history as a PDF or export it as a CSV file from the primary account view.

 

Users can initiate the print/export by opening a BHPH account and clicking on either the print or export button.

The PDF print will maintain the same formatting as the Payment History printout in the BHPH print menu. The results shown will reflect any filters that had been applied to the payment history view.

The CSV export will generate a CSV file with the values for each payment on a single row. The results shown will reflect any filters that had been applied to the payment history view.
