Payment History Wizard • Payment history can be entered in ACT 7 for prior years by using the Addback wizard. • Payment history can be entered by users having the CAD Save Calc Ag Rollback job.
Client Preferences • ACT8041_ALLOW_CURRENT_YEAR: Set to Y to enter payment history for the current tax year. To allow additions only for prior years, set it to N. Adding history to current year may cause reports to be out of balance. • ENFORCE_ACCOUNTING_PERIODS: If this is set to Y, the AC deposit for the deposit date used in the Payment History Addback screen must be open. If it isn't, you will get a warning message.
Payment History Wizard • A new receivable is created if you are adding history for a unit that does not already exist for that account and year. If the receivable already exists, the existing receivable levy increases by the amount of the payment you add.After saving the information, a closed online deposit is created having a deposit control type of HA assigned). For new receivables, the Receivable screen will have a change date that is the same as the deposit date of the payment that was added, which will prevent problems with report balancing.
