Export for External Collections Process | ACS Utility Billing Help

Create the customer-data export used by the External Collections Processing add-on. This includes customer addresses, service information, readings, charges, balances, and other fields needed by the configured interface.

Using this option

  1. Choose External Collections Processing > Export for External Collections Process. The U5 add-on must be available.
  2. Enter Destination Path and File Name. Use the location expected by the external processing workflow.
  3. Continue to create the file. Read the completion message and check the exported file before passing it to the external system.

Notes

An existing destination file is overwritten. Keep a separate copy if an earlier export must be retained.

There is no date, route, balance, or delinquency filter on this screen; the program exports the customer records it reads. Do not assume this is a list restricted to overdue accounts.

Creating the export does not post collections in ACS or send it to the external processor. The receiving workflow must accept this specific export layout.
