Top most listing of Payments
The topmost table on the Payment listing page (Top Menu > Other Listings > All Payments) now shows payments of all certificates with status 'Applied' or 'Approved.' Earlier it was only 'Approved' certificate payments being shown.
This will help Administrators mark payments of those Certificates which are APPLIED (not yet APPROVED) and yet the payment has been received. The certificates would eventually get approved later, but there is now a provision to mark payments as Complete before Approval.
Query using Certificate Status type
Administrators can now query payment listing, based on an additional parameter called CertificateStatus. This is the status of shipment or plant approval certificate of which the payment corresponds to.
Introducing 'NEW' payment status
A new payment status has been introduced called 'New'. When a user creates a new certificate, its payment status shall remain 'New'. Earlier, system would mark the payment as 'Pending' even when the certificate was in NEW State.
There are many users who would create multiple NEW certificates and just save-and-keep those, never to Apply for Approval. The respective payments of those certificates would always be recorded in our system as Pending.
Now, while querying, system would ignore 'New' Payments, thereby also ignoring New Certificates in case of payment computations, giving more accuracy in results.
