Transaction Type Sample - Legal Fee Advance Received
The Payment Transaction Type is needed to keep track of fees that
have been paid on an account. Any transaction flagged as a Payment
type, with an amount either in the To Us or Direct field, will affect the
balance of the Owing amount displayed on the Debtor form. An amount
in the transaction's Commission Amount field affects only the
commission amount shown on the statement you generate for
your client.
By default, Collect! ships with a number of Payment type
transaction samples. Collect! uses the 100 series for
payment type transactions, but any Financial Type dotted
as "Payment" will be processed as a payment type transaction.
You can have many different legal fee payment transaction types for
separating the various legal fees you may have entered. The Legal
Fee Advance Received transaction type is used to keep track of
monies received from your client to cover legal fees, such as court costs.
Legal Fee Advance Received - Payment Transaction Type
All payment transactions are totaled together and subtracted from
the total debt the result is displayed in the Owing field of the Debtor form.
When you create a 121 Legal Fee Advance Received transaction on
a debtor account, the Description from the Transaction Type form is
copied to the transaction being posted.
The 'Enter amount on Posting' radio button is switched ON to allow
you enter the amount you wish to be used at the time of posting the
transaction.
Entering a NEGATIVE amount in the Commission Amount field posts
this as an advance received from your client.
In this sample, the reporting check boxes tell Collect! to include
this transaction when creating a statement for your client. However
the 'Omit from daily cash' is checked as this is not included in
the money that has come into our agency on our daily cash.
Calculations are all unchecked as we do want to calculate
commission and we do want to calculate tax.
Display is set to leave both the To Us and the Direct fields visible
at all times when viewing the transaction or Transactions List.
No operator or sales operator ID's have been set to be used as
default values when posting this transaction type. You may want
to set the Operator or Sales values to HSE or OWN, if you wish
to always have operator and sales operator ID's on every transaction.
No contact plans have been set to be run when posting this
transaction type.
All the above settings will be automatically filled in for you when
you post a 121 Legal Fee Advance Received transaction to an account.
You may override any setting when posting the transaction.
