Powercode has a number of customer statuses built into the system.
Statuses other than Active or Delinquent are not active for internet service and billing.
- Active - Customers in Active status will be billed and receive internet service according to the service plan they have on their account. After completing an Installation Job users will be able to check a box to set the customer Active. The first time an account is set active is considered their Initial Activation. Depending on your settings a customer will automatically be billed on their Initial Activation or you will see a hyperlink to Generate Initial Invoice on the billing tab.
- Delinquent - Customers in Delinquent status will be billed. When online they will be redirected to the Access Restricted page
- Collections - This is a non-active status.
- Lead - This is a non-active status used to track potential customers
- Not Active - After completing a Disconnection Job users will be able to check a box to set the customer Not Active. Switching to this status from Active will result in a prompt Disconnect customer's service? Selecting Disconnect Service will generate a final bill and add the customer to the Sales and Disconnects Report. Setting a customer Not Active by completing a job does not show this prompt and does not add them to the report.
- Pre-Install - Creating an installation job for a customer will change them from Lead Status to Preinstall Status*.*
- Uninstall - Switching to this status from Active will result in a prompt Disconnect customer's service? Selecting Disconnect Service will generate a final bill and add the customer to the Sales and Disconnects Report.
When a disconnected customer is later changed back to Active or Delinquent, Powercode records a re-activation, and the customer is counted under Re-Activations in the Sales and Disconnects Report for that day. This only happens if a disconnect was recorded, for example by choosing Disconnect Service at the prompt. Choosing No records no disconnect, so returning the customer later is not counted as a re-activation.
You may want to create custom statuses such as Failed Install – you can do that on this page. Please note that custom statuses will neither bill customers nor allow Internet access. Custom statuses can be used for reporting and show up with colors of your choice on the Complete Map View Navigate to this page by visiting Admin Mode > Accounts > Customer Statuses
To add a new status, click Add New Status and choose a name and color. Then click to save the status. The status will be immediately available to assign to customers. If you delete a custom status, any customers in that status will be switched to Not Active.
