  • 4 new fields have been added:
    • Insufficient Funds Fee

    • Insufficient Funds Fee Charge Code
      • Becomes a required field if a value greater than '0' is entered in the Insufficient Funds Fee field. 
    • Credit Hold Placement Fee

Application of Insufficient Funds Fee in AR History

(Only applies to Payment Reversals and Charge Backs. Transfers and Split Payments are Excluded.)

Pathway: Customer Service Screen > AR History


If a payment reversal, or charge back is recorded for a payment, and the account class includes a insufficient funds fee and charge code settings, a manual charge is created for the account. For this, the following logic is used:

  • Insufficient Funds Fee must include a value greater than '0'.
  • Insufficient Funds Fee Charge Code must exist. 

By default, the 'Apply Insufficient Funds Fee' check box is checked. The full fee is applied regardless if the reversal or charge back was for a partial amount.



Application of Credit Hold Placement Fee in Customer Service 

(Only applies to automated credit holds) 

Pathway: Setup > Account > Account Class


If an account qualifies for an automated credit hold, and the account class includes a credit hold placement fee and charge code, a manual charge will be created when the account is placed on "Credit Hold." For this, the following logic is used:
  • Credit Hold Placement Fee must include a value be greater than '0'
  • Credit Hold Placement Fee Charge Code must exist.
  • The account class to which the account belongs must have the necessary auto credit hold settings enabled and defined in the Status Management tab.
