IDI Platform Version 23.4 Details

E-Pay

Milestone 1 was originally provided with IDI platform version 22.12. The 23.4 release provides these enhancements:

• New Paymentus option in the account’s Billing menu
• Copy account number to clipboard icon to facilitate account number entry when required
• New configuration options

Additional functional milestones for Paymentus integration will be deployed over a series of IDI platform software releases where each subsequent release builds on the prior one. For details regarding the overall objectives and planned future deliverables, refer to IDI Updates > Product Roadmap in the IDI Knowledge Center.

Note: Service providers will need to coordinate with IDI Support/Account Management and Paymentus to enable and fully integrate this functionality in their IDI platform.

For details on the benefits provided by Paymentus integration, how to set it up and how to use it, see the article on Paymentus Integration in the IDI Knowledge Center.

This enhancement reduces the steps for adding a new wireless service with a retail device. When added correctly, the serial number from the retail device is automatically applied to service and updates the Handset ID. Note: Service and handset must be compatible (both are GSM or neither are GSM).

FR 3505 was originally released in IDI platform 23.3. The 23.4 release provides enhancements to improve alert message presentation when selecting provisioning providers, and facilitate selecting all provisioning providers with one click.

For details see the article on Refreshing a Service via Web Applications.

Credit provider integration has been enhanced to retrieve Transunion’s OFAC Name Screen optional add-on report (6800) and parse the results. For service providers that use TransUnion as their credit checking agent, the OFAC screen name alert returns an OFAC notification on a subscriber’s credit report when their name matches a name on the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. This information is available on Customer Care and CostGuard Client screens for credit checks.

CostGuard releases 21.5 and 21.6 provided functionality to help CostGuard users comply with ASC 606 revenue recognition standards. When CostGuard 21.6 provided a new Contract Asset Sales Audit report, it imposed a requirement that a new plan be purchased in the POS order along with the contract and eligible product. AR 9163 in CostGuard 23.4 removes this requirement. Now, if the order does not include a new plan (for example, a renewal/upgrade where there is a new handset and contract but no new plan) the report will use the existing plan on the service to perform the calculation.

For complete details on this functionality, see the article on Compliance with FASB ASC 606 Revenue Recognition Standards in the IDI Knowledge Center.

Full functionality will be released in multiple phases. This release adds an extensive list of new features and their corresponding parameters to the existing Update Additional Features action. See the Metaswitch Provisioning specification in the IDI Knowledge Center for details.
