Why MOR does not allow to delete users

MOR/M4 does not allow the deletion of users who have made at least one call or payment in the past to prevent issues with billing integrity.

Let’s Break It Down: Why Deleting Users Can Mess Up Billing

Imagine this setup:

  • You have 2 users: U1 and U2.
  • You have 1 provider: P1.

Here’s what happens during the month:

  • U1 makes 20,000 calls (at 1 EUR per call) = 20,000 EUR.
  • U2 makes 10,000 calls (at 1 EUR per call) = 10,000 EUR.

So, in total:

  • Users owe you 30,000 EUR.
  • Since you sell at a 100% margin, you pay your provider P1 15,000 EUR for the calls.
  • Your profit = 15,000 EUR.

What happens if you delete U1 and their calls? Now the system only shows U2 with 10,000 calls, meaning:

  • You see that you owe P1 50% of 10,000 EUR = 5,000 EUR.
  • BUT P1’s records still show they sent 30,000 EUR worth of calls, meaning you owe them 15,000 EUR.

The Result:You think you owe 5,000 EUR, but P1 demands 15,000 EUR. This mismatch leaves you with a -10,000 EUR loss for the month!

The Lesson: Never delete users with historical call data, as it disrupts billing and creates financial discrepancies!

Solution

  • Archive or Delete Calls: Archive the user’s calls to TGZ, or choose the option Delete calls instead of archiving.
  • Delete User Payments: Payment deletion can only be done by Kolmisoft engineers and is billed at an hourly rate.
  • Alternative: Hide Users: If you don’t want to delete a user but prefer not to see them in your system, you can hide them.

Note: In the latest MOR version, hidden users no longer appear in search filters, keeping your interface clean and uncluttered.
