Accounts Receivable Settings

To access Accounts Receivable Settings:

Select Applications > Accounts Receivable Management > Accounts Receivable Settings.
In this window you can choose settings to be used by your company for importing payments, adjustments and transaction information.
You can set the following options and settings:

Import Menu Options: In this pane you can check:
- the Import Payment types to be accepted
- whether or not to enable adjustments and payments
- which bank's payments to accept
Create Transaction Options:
- Create Expired Credit Card Transactions - If checked, the system includes credit card transactions from expired credit cards when creating E-Pay transactions.
- Create Transactions for Total Balance Due - If checked, the system makes E-Pay transaction amounts equal to the total balance due.
- Minimum E-Pay Charge - Here you can specify the smallest amount to be charged in one month to the subscriber's E-Pay account. If the amount due is less than this amount, it will be rolled into the next month's invoice.
- Maximum E-Pay Charge - Here you can specify the largest amount to be charged in one month to the subscriber's E-Pay account. If the amount due is more than this amount, the credit card is not charged.
  Note
  Setting Maximum E-Pay Charge on a global basis can be an issue, especially when dealing with Business accounts that typically have higher bills and recurring monthly transactions. There is a Maximum E-Pay Charge Bypass setting that lets you override this global limit by account type. This way you can maintain a smaller limit for residential account types while other account types can have higher limits as needed.
  The bypass setting is available via Admin Console > Data Management > Account Types.
  Note
  Be aware that minimum and maximum E-Pay charges may result in finance charges being imposed.

General Settings:

Allow Payments and Adjustments on inactive accounts - If the check box is selected, then payments and adjustments are allowed on inactive accounts.
Allocate Payments Oldest Balance Bucket First The default value is unchecked. Checking the checkbox allocates payments to child accounts to pay off the oldest balance buckets first.
