Ability to process payments and refunds via QuickBooks

When invoices and credit memos are activated, they are transferred immediately to Quickbooks for collections. Finance users can generate Invoice documents in Quickbooks using the invoices transferred from Nue, process payments, process refunds, cancel invoices, and so on. Importantly, each of these actions will initiate corresponding operations in Nue, ensuring complete synchronization between Nue and QuickBooks.

Ability to update a product or bundle product to include accounting codes for relevant accounting segments used for revenue recognition
- When the user is in a user role having Manage Revenue Contracts functional permission, she will be able to see the following new fields when creating a new product or a new bundle product: Contract Liability Segment, Contract Revenue Segment, Carves Liability Segment, and Carves Revenue Segment. These fields are also available in the Product Catalog mirror for self-service API access. When active orders (and order products) and ingested into RightRev, these accounting segments will be ingested as part of the order transactions and will be processed by RightRev to generate Revenue Contracts.
Ability to add a Revenue Contract ID to the Customer Contract policy definition in RightRev
-
Currently the default behavior for creating revenue contracts is by creating separate contracts for different customer IDs. If a customer have more complex and granular rules for splitting revenue contracts, they can configure the new field Revenue Contract ID either manually or in an automated fashion during the order process and use the new field to group into revenue contracts. As a result, a new Contract ID field is added to the Order Product, as well as the Order Definition Policy when a new tenant is provisioned in RightRev.
