Setup Status Code 

Status Codes will display the current status for each customer.

  • Common examples include: Active, Non-Payment, Collection, Disc. Perm, Deleted. 

Setting up a New Status Code 


1. Select System Tools > Database Setup > Customer & Billing Data > Status Codes.

2. Select 'New'.

3. Enter Status Name (short form) and Description (long form).

4. Select a Display color if desired.



5. Checkboxes have the following attributes:

  • Active: Check if the current Status Code is an Active Status Code.
    • Contrary to how it sounds, this checkbox will not mark a customer as 'Active'. 
    • All Status Codes mark customers as 'Active' unless the 'Stop Customer' box is checked.
    • If the status is in use, always keep the 'Active' box checked.
  • Include On Route: Check if the customer should still appear on the route, even if they are not receiving service due to being stopped.
  • Produce Bill: Check if the customer in this status should receive a bill.
  • Archive Customers: Check if the customer should be moved to an unseen archive but still remain in historical data reports. 
    • This is frequently used with Deleted customers, since Accu-Trax does not permanently delete customer data but rather archives it.
  • Stop Customer: Check if the customer will have their services stopped when they are in this Status Code.
    • Stop Customer is frequently used for delinquent accounts, inactive accounts, and vacation accounts.
    • Marking a customer as Stopped will prevent their services from being delivered on route.
  • Always Bill: Check if a customer should always receive a bill regardless of their balance being credit, debit, or zero.
5. 'Save'.
