Prior to using this utility, the Post FC/Late Fee Product must be selected at Energy / Setup / Preferences.
This utility looks for open Memo Invoices on the Customer account. For any customer with Memo Invoices fitting the criteria entered, a Finance Charge/Late Fee Invoice is created. This Invoice is included on the customer’s Regular Accounts Receivable account unless the Post as Budget Receivable option is selected.
- Select Customers – Optionally select specific Customers or allow it to default to All customers.
- Tax Exemption Reason – A Tax Exemption Reason may be selected for the Sales Tax Summary report.
- Finance Charge/Late Fee Amount – If the Invoice Type is set to Late Fee, this amount is posted on the Invoice using the Product from Energy Preferences. Late Fee Invoices may optionally be marked as a Finance Charge. If the Invoice Type is set to Finance Charge, this switches to say Finance Charge % and the Minimum Finance Charge area is enabled. This creates an Invoice based on the open Memo Invoices and the specified Finance Charge %. The Invoice will be a Finance Charge Invoice and uses the Product set in Energy Preferences. There is also an option for the Finance Charge to Post as Budget Receivable. If the amount calculated is less than the Minimum Finance Charge amount entered, an Invoice for the minimum Finance Charge amount is created.
