Council Tax Request a Refund - v.1.0.13

Enhancement

We have made a minor enhancement to the way the Request a Refund form integrates with the Northgate Council Tax application.

In this release we have added an additional element that ensures that the person who the refund is payable to is also included in the XML Request:

<CreateRefundRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.northgate-is.com/CreateRefundRequest">
  <Properties>
    <SystemInfo xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/NAC/Core">
      <System>TEST
    System> <Domain>RBTEST3
     Domain> 
      SystemInfo> 
       Properties> <Request> <AccountRef>987654321
        AccountRef> <AccountType>C
         AccountType> <Year>2021
          Year> <Amount>1258.3
           Amount> <AccountEntryClass>NA
            AccountEntryClass>  <PayableToName>John McMahon
                PayableToName> <BACSDetails> <BankAccountNo>00112233
             BankAccountNo> <SortCode>11-22-33
              SortCode> <BankAccountName>MR J MCMAHON
               BankAccountName> 
                BACSDetails> <Endorse>true
                 Endorse> 
                  Request> 
                   CreateRefundRequest>

This ensures that if the person the money is being paid to is different from the primary liable party it can be easily checked/approved in Northgate.

Amendment

We have also ensured that the amount retrieved as a refund amount is decimalised. That is to say sometimes if a person's refund amount was £100 exactly it would show:

Refund amount due -  £100

Instead of

Refund amount due - £100.00

We've now amended it to always show the decimal points.

The following is the release version info for the version of Request a Refund, which has this functionality.
