Deployment Date: 08.10.26

Release Type: Automation, Integration, Portals

ENHANCEMENTS

Update Revenue Reports to include Tender Retail payment method

Enhanced the Card Provider Summary and the Credit Card Settled reports to include support for transactions processed via the Tender Retail payment gateway.

Enterprise SSO integration for Flash PARCS admin (portal.flashvalet.com)

Enhanced Flash Parking Admin Portal to support SSO for non-Valet employee roles (e.g., Dispatcher, Garage Manager, ePay Enforcement, Flash PARCS Technician). Standard "Valet" user types (runners) do not require SSO unless requested.

Added External ID Parameter to Customer Service API, Ticket Search

Enhanced the Customer Service API's Ticket Search call to include "External ID" as a searchable parameter. Additionally, fixed an issue in the Customer Service Portal to correctly display tickets when using "External ID" as a search parameter.

Prepaid rates showing discount amounts in reporting

Restored the prepaid rates calculation to the previous view where in all relevant revenue reports (e.g., Location Trans Detail) it shows as revenue/amount instead of discount amount.

FIXES

Lacking Ability to Change Accounts from an "Automatic" status to invalid

Fixed an issue preventing monthly accounts from being set to status "Invalid" after being unlinked from a Master Account on "Automatic" status.

Monthly Pool reliability is inconsistent after testing

Fixed an issue where the calculation for a Monthly Pool would result in 0, allowing unintended monthly entry activity.

Fix Validation Portal time zone issue

Resolved a discrepancy between server and location time zones when calculating default, minimum, and maximum expiry dates for validations and coupons. A user may have previously seen incorrect default dates or be unable to select valid dates that are "today" in their local time but "yesterday" or "tomorrow" in the server's time.

Late Fee refund attempt failures

Fixed an issue in Refund logic when a Late Fee has been archived. Attempts to refund archived Late Fees on USA ePay accounts will now process without error. This issue only impacted locations using the USAePay gateway.

Monthly API: Unable to populate contact

When adding or updating a Monthly Account Contact, if there is conflicting contact data, the error response now correctly identifies the conflicting account number and associated External ID or Email, allowing operators to search and resolve duplicates.

Issues with prepaid validation balance

Fixed an issue where validations could be applied multiple times when utilizing a prepaid validator account in the Flash Valet iOS app. An error response now indicates that a ticket has been previously validated.

LPR Blacklist issue with timestamp on alert

Fixed an issue where email alerts for LPR exit events were providing the entry event timestamp. The email now provides the exit timestamp.
