How to distribute unpaid fees
Attaching unpaid fees to a Receipt record

Tip #: 4.1.79
Ver(s): PTWin32

Many of our users have fee schedules that require charging multiple itemized fees, which are then totaled and assigned to a single receipt.

For example, let’s say each Building Permit you issue requires a fee based on valuation ($100.00) and a second fee, like a flat surcharge ($50.00).

You create two individual fee records but when it comes time for the applicant to write the check you add the fees together and provide a total ($150.00). You then create a receipt for that totaled amount.

To keep the records straight that receipt should point back to the group of itemized fees it represents. That’s why PTWin32 allows you to attach the fees associated with a receipt record.

Given that you would think there should be some way in PTWin32 for you to attach all unpaid fees to a single receipt record with one command, and you would be right.

Pressing the Add Receipt button on the Fees/Receipts tab of the Permit, Code Enforcement, or License windows displays the Add Receipt dialog. In the lower left corner of this dialog box you will find a button labeled Auto Distribute.

The Auto Distribute button will scan the fees associated with the current record in Permit, Code Enforcement, or License and attach all unpaid fees to the Receipt record you are creating.

This way you can let PTWin32 total your fees for you and automatically attach them to the receipt while the applicant stands before you. This minimized effort provides for easier and more accurate record keeping.
