Version 1.24 of the ebills web front end and billing engine have now been released. The web server includes a couple of major changes which bring big benefits: - a product group function which allows taxation to be handled differently by group - the storage of bill templates into the database which now allows a template to be selected on a per customer contract basis. The billing engine includes a minor fix to allow it to be compiled on a wider range of platforms. There has been a lot of significant behind the scenes activity on ebills over the last 18 months. This is gradually being published. However I am keen to obtain input on new requirements and feature request for planned releases. So please help my contributing to the discussion forums and mailing lists. Kind regards Mark ebills - web enabled billing .... and customer management too http://ebills.sf.net |

ebills version 1.19 includes a major update to the billing engine and new billing template that allows telephone and mobile phone operators to create itemised and summarised bills. There is a minor change to the web server to support this. This version supports the billing portion of the process, but relies on a spreadsheet input to support rating and call type allocation. This will be automated in a future release. The new bills in PDF format allow a summary on page 1 with loads of custom features including bill messages. This is followed by itemised/summarised calls for local, national, international, mobile, premium rate and lowcall calls. A configurable threshold determines which calls should be summarised. This is a working version of the billing engine, but may include a bug or two. Best regards, Mark ebills - web enabled billing .... and customer management too http://ebills.sf.net |

This is the latest stable version recommended for all users. It contains a good level of translation into French & German and hopefully will be of benefit to users preferring these languages. There are also a couple of minor changes in the 'select contract' functionality which makes the contracts you relevant to what you want in 'close contract' and 'activate contract'.

The language support is complete. This release contains most of the French Language translation and options in German. Full releases in French & German will be available shortly, as will other languages. This release also fixes a number of minor bugs: - html extension is payments received - welcome screens shows the number of work items assigned to you - REGIONS_FILE added allowing custom regions / states per country. This version now represents a stable version onto which we can build language and country support. Any feedback would be welcomed via the forum. Mark http://ebills.sourceforge.net |

Version 1.12 of the ebills server is released. Ebills is the web enabled billing solution, however has become much more of a customer management solution. This major feature release of a workflow capability takes it one step further forward. The workflow allows workitems to be added and assigned to team members. Work items are customer and may be contract/order specific. They allow such things as: - order fulfilment - support requests - enquiries - chasing payments - etc Workitems maybe updated and assigned to other members of your team. Workflow works especially well when integrated with your web site to automatically create workitems based upon user forms. This release also fixes a number of minor bugs. This release is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ebills or via http://ebills.sourceforge.net for immediate download.

Version 1.10 of ebills contains an update to the web server code, the billing engine and also the howto. It includes a major change to support fractional product quantities, which allows users to bill non-integer values (e.g. 0.25 days, 2.5 hours or 0.2 utililisation). Quantities are now shown on invoices with 2 decimal points. There are also some great improvements to the payments collection facility, including worst debtor reports and better handling of payments. The debtor report allows you to list contracts in order of greatest net value along with the payments outstanding. If payments have been received they can be easily recorded. Finally a number of bugs are fixed. This release is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ebills or via http://ebills.sourceforge.net for immediate download.

V1.9 is a minor release but includes a major enhancement to the issue letter facility. It is now possible for the template files to include parameters which require user entry. The user is prompted for these when the template is selected. The prompts are defined within the template. This feature is ideal for customer correspondence such as welcome letters and order acknowledgement letters that require fields not normally contained within the database. As ever the resultant documents are created as Adobe compatible PDF files. Mark e-Bills web enabled billing See more at http://ebills.sourceforge.net |

Version 1.8 of the e-Bills web enabled billing system is released. This contains an update to the Billing Engine to properly support MultiPage billing, full support for different billing frequencies with product/service charges that occur at different rates and a few minor bug fixes. Importantly, V1.8 supports Dollar and other tax regimes, whereas previous releases did not. A US Dollar TeX template is included. The web side software removes the need to re-enter super user name & password within user management (it was becoming too painful in some configurations) and includes two new user reports: Statistics and a listing of LIVE users. Previously the term "short description" was used to define the description that was printed on bills. This is now replaced with "Description for bills" to make absolutely clear what this field is used for. The description field in the products database remains a 'private' field for businesses to include more information about a product. No ebills-annouce update was given for V1.7 which included a major new feature: the production of customer letters. This was in response to requests from several businesses who wanted to send out welcome letters, reminders etc using the same system. This feature is a very fast mechanism for producing letters as Adobe compatible PDF files. This release is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ebills or via http://ebills.sourceforge.net for immediate download. Mark Developer of the e-Bills web enabled billing system |
