Set up changes to charges

Changes to charges can either be carried out in advance of when the new prices are to come into effect; on the day that the new prices come into effect; or after the day the new prices come into effect.

It is recommended that you start by printing a Account Charges Filtered report.   This will give you a list of all the current charges as they are set up before you begin and it can be used as a tick list as you update each new fee in BACASNG

 

 

 

Select Finance from the Outlook bar on the left hand side.

 

Select Quick Update from the expanded selection.

 

A Filter window will be displayed.

Tick All Active Charges and then click on Search

The Quick Charge Update Screen will open. All current charges will be listed in the same order as the Account Charges Filtered report. The first charge on the list will be highlighted.

 

Do not attempt to make any changes to the charge by clicking on the finger and using the edit charge screen

 

1.     Enter date you wish the new price to come into effect in the Start Date field

2.     Enter the new charge amount and VAT in the Amount and Tax fields

3.     Click on Save

You will be asked to confirm the change. Click on Yes

 

If the new charge comes into effect at a future date, the old charge will now have the End Date (date in second column) set to the day before the new charge comes into effect. The new charge will not appear on the screen at this stage as it is not 'live'. It is a good idea to tick the entry on the Charge Report to show that the new charge has been created. NB If the new charge came into effect before today's date the new charge will appear with an end date of 31/12/999

 

The selection bar will have moved down to the next charge ready for amendment.

 

1.     Carry out the next amendment as above (you will notice that the Start Date that you entered before has remained the same).

 

2.     Carry on working down the list until all the changes are completed.
