Financial Detail

The Financial Detail form displays all financial settings for the Debtor account. This form lets you enter the Debtor's Original Principal and Judgment details. Commission and Fees, Interest settings and Payment Plan settings are entered here as well. Totals are displayed for all payments made on the accounts. The Financial Detail form also shows a total of all legal fees posted to date. Credit grantors may change the display of the Debtor screen from this form so that it shows 30/60/90 day amounts.

Open this form while on the Debtor form by selecting the Rate, Principal or Interest field or tab into one of these fields and press F2.


Financial Detail

Referral Rate

This stores a percentage amount. You can use it to keep track of an attorney's fee or a referral rate for debtors that you receive from an outside agency.

This rate is not used for calculations on the debtor's account, but you can use it in reports to perform your own calculations.

Currency

This is the currency the debtor account is recorded in. This is for display and printing only.

By default this field is blank, or is set to the System Default. Collect! reads your Regional Settings and uses whatever your computer is set to.

This means that if your computer is set up for North America, you will see the $ symbol displayed in currency fields. Other countries will show different currency symbols.

The debtor's currency records the currency of the account.

Useful Note Collect! does no calculations using exchange rates and currencies yet. These fields are provided for your information purposes only.

This field is visible only when Multi Currency is switched ON in the Company Details form.

Show 30/60/90

When this switch is turned ON, most of the financial fields on the Debtor form are hidden and you see new fields displayed for 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days, and Over 90 Days.

These fields display values that are calculated if you have set up Amortized interest calculation for the debtor and you see a date in the "Next" field on the Debtor form. The 30/60/90 values are also used for Credit Bureau Reporting if you are a Credit Grantor. Please refer to How to Setup Credit Bureau Reporting.

Tax Exempt

This switch turns OFF the calculation of tax on all transactions for this Debtor. If a Tax Rate has been set previously, it will not display when a transaction is posted.

When this switch is ON, tax will not be calculated even if the "Don't Calculate Tax" switch is not ON and there is a Tax percentage entered in the Tax details for the account. Tax will not be calculated if a transaction is posted with a Tax Rate in the Transaction Type settings. Whenever a transaction is posted, tax will not be calculated and the transaction's Tax field should remain blank.
