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.

> 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.

> 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.
