Ten Market-Leading Features with EngagePoint Financials 2.xTwo Types of Billing: Balance Forward and Open Item

The Balance Forward bill includes all charges that a customer owes, including those from previous billing periods. The unpaid amount is charged in the next generated bill, and the previous unpaid bill becomes historical.

Open Item bill includes only charges from the billable items in the current billing period. The next generated bill does not include charges from the previous bill. Eventually, there can be multiple unpaid bills simultaneously.

Manual Bill Generation

You can create an Open Item or Balance Forward bill in the EngagePoint Financials Administrator’s Portal manually. The system generates a bill according to rules configured for an appropriate Program and for the coverage that has no active bills yet.

Cancel Subscription

You can cancel an entire user subscription, including all their Product Contracts and generated bills, using the Subscription Management Service.

Update Product Contract

When you make changes to a Product Contract, the system regenerates bills automatically and re-applies existing payments to new bills.

Cancel Product Contract

You can cancel a particular Product Contract of a user and leave the rest of their Contracts active. If there are active paid bills for the cancelled products, the system cancels them and moves payments to Unapplied Funds.* The system behavior is different for Open Item and Balance Forward bill types.

Cancel Bill

You can easily cancel one, multiple, or all bills for a user account without cancelling a Product Contract or user subscription. The system automatically unapplies all payments applied to these bills.

Add and Manage Programs

The system allows you to add a new Program to the system and manually configure its billing properties. You can also specify the Carrier Fee amounts that should be applied to each Program.

Manage Payments Manually

EngagePoint Financials 2.x provides the flexibility of managing payments and available funds. Now you can perform the following operations from the Administrator’s Portal:

• Make a cash or check payment for a particular user account. The system moves the payment amount to user’s Unapplied Funds that can be later applied to one or several unpaid bills.

• Apply available unapplied or suspended funds to one or several unpaid bills of a user.

• Unapply payment from a paid bill thereby moving the payment amount to Unapplied Funds.
