We’ve made a small but important adjustment to how the billing email is handled when account ownership is transferred. This change helps prevent unexpected updates, especially in cases where the billing email was set to a generic accounts inbox.
How it works:
If the previous owner had set a dedicated billing email (e.g. accounts@example.net), that address will stay the same after the transfer.
If the previous owner used their own login email as the billing email (e.g. JohnDoe@example.net), the billing email will automatically update to the new owner’s email address once the transfer is complete.

Bug fixes
Our awesome development team have been super busy working on our upcoming release of Scheduling, and somehow they've managed to fit in new functionality and some bug fixes.
For those out there who have been asking about this, we're just as stoked its finally here. We've updated our 'Reconcile' option within the service, so it can be now utilised to account for funding used prior to creating the funding period service within Astalty. When reconciling your services which have funding periods, one of the most important points to consider is the reconciliation date that you select.
The reconciliation date determines which funding period you are reconciling, and
The reconciliation remaining amount reflects the funds that have been released up to that date.

You can now disable invoice sending directly from within a finalised invoice batch. This is especially helpful if you need to reissue a batch that has already been paid, or fix up an individual invoice without triggering auto-sending for the rest.
To use this feature:
Create an invoice batch and from the draft batch screen.
Click on Additional Settings.
Toggle Automatic Sending off for this batch.
⚠️ When this setting is turned off, no invoices in the batch will be sent automatically. You will need to send each invoice manually.
We recommend only using this when:
You’re reissuing a batch where payment has already been received.
You only want to fix or resend a single invoice in the batch.

All new accounts will have a dummy participant and we will create the following for that participant;
Create a new Participant named John Doe
The Primary Coordinator will be the account owner
Create a Charge Item called Level 2 Support Coordination with the details from the latest price guide and reference SC-L2
Create an NDIS plan that starts on the 1st day of the month that the user registers and goes for 12 months
Create a service for that NDIS planned called Level 2 Support Coordination with the Charge Item created above assigned to it. So that you can see how the participant task and billing process works.
We will add a Participant alert to the profile to let you know that this is an example participant and also the method of archiving them.

The plan end date field is now editable for NDIS plans that have a service with a funding period assigned. This was previously locked once a service with a funding period was created, offering more control over funding adjustments.
