Welcome to the October 2026 edition of What's New with FORTH!
This month, we have expanded our toolkit with new missed payment tags, added granular reporting filters for cleared versus reversed payments, and improved auditability across the platform.
New Features
Dynamic Communication Tags for Missed Payments
Keep client communications timely, automated, and accurate with dedicated transaction tags.
{LAST_MISSED_PAYMENT}Tag: Automatically populates the dollar amount of a consumer's most recent returned, NSF, or unauthorized return client debit.{LAST_MISSED_PAYMENT_DATE}Tag: Dynamically pulls the transaction date of the most recent returned client debit.
Improvements & Enhancements
Payments & Accounting
Distinct Cleared vs. Reversed Payment Tracking: The Settled Debts table and enrollment summary view now separate cleared payments from reversals. A new customizable Payments Reversed column (displaying
X/Ycounts) tracks reversed transactions distinctly, while the Summary column now strictly reflects cleared settlement payments.Cleared Payment Sequence Filtering: Added a new Cleared Payment Num filter in the Accounting Report tab to isolate transactions based on their sequence of clearing, independent of original scheduled dates or prior returns. The existing "Payment Num" filter has been relabeled to Scheduled Payment Num for clear distinction.
User Experience & Platform Governance
CBF GCS Balance Microservice Infrastructure: Deployed GCS Balances into a standalone microservice architecture to verify and streamline balance synchronization performance and system reliability.
