We are adding a new feature called "My Bills" in our Resident App.

One of the core features here is the History Ledger. In an apartment, there are various payments that need to be made to the admin by the owner, tenant, or others, depending on the situation. These include electricity, water, and maintenance bills.

With this feature, whenever the admin needs to request payment, they can send a notification through our app. This notification will help residents stay reminded, alerted, and easily informed about their bills.

Can you help me brainstorm the ideas mentioned above? Feel free to think creatively.

Consider any potential worst-case scenarios we might not typically think about, as well as any additional factors to keep in mind.

It would be helpful if you could provide sample notification messages to send to flat owners.

Also, could you suggest a sample table for the history ledger? This should include details such as total amount, settled amount, due amount, and any other relevant information we should consider.

Things to Consider:

• Manual Tracking: Since payments are manual, the process heavily relies on communication between residents and the admin. Delays or misunderstandings might occur.
• Notification Follow-ups: Ensure that the app sends follow-up notifications for unpaid bills, so residents are reminded before the due date.
• Resident Queries: Provide a clear way for residents to query any discrepancies in their bills through the app.
• Multiple Payment Modes: Although the app doesn’t integrate payments, residents might pay through various channels, so the app should accommodate different payment confirmation methods.
• Error Handling: Have a way to manage errors in the system, like wrong entries by the admin or incorrect payments by residents.

Sample Notification Messages:

1. Initial Notification:
   • Your [Month] electricity bill of [Amount] is now available. Please make your payment by [Due Date].
2. Payment Reminder:
   • Reminder: Your [Month] electricity bill of [Amount] is due soon. Please complete the payment by [Due Date].
3. Payment Confirmation:
   • Thank you! Your payment of [Amount] for [Month] electricity bill has been received and recorded.
4. Overdue Notification:
   • Alert: Your [Month] electricity bill of [Amount] is overdue. Please make the payment immediately to avoid further actions.
