Entering Default Charges for a Billing Group

Complete the following steps to enter default charges for a Billing Group (Maintain>Accounts Receivable>Billing Groups):

1. Select the Charge Code and the system displays the Description.
2. Select a Distribution Code. The system defaults to the Distribution Code assigned to the current Charge Code using the Maintain>Accounts Receivable>Charge Codes.
3. Other columns are available depending on which calculation method was selected when the charge code was created (Maintain>Accounts Receivable>Charge Codes). Complete the remaining columns. Below is a list of calculation methods and the fields associated with each. If the method is:
   • AV, enter the Quantity and the system displays the Amount.
   • VP, enter the Quantity and the system displays the Fixed Charge, Unit Price, and Amount.
   • FP, enter the Quantity, and the system displays the Unit Price and Amount.
   • VC, enter the Fixed Charge, Quantity, and Unit Price; the system displays the Amount.
   • FA, the system displays the Fixed Charge and Amount.
   • PA, the system displays the Calculation Period (This Month, Quarter, or Year; or Last Month, Quarter, or Year) and Percentage.
4. If exceptions apply for a specific customer, add these using the Enter One-Time/Recurring Charges form. These charges are consolidated onto the same invoice when processed. This enables you to include customers in the same Billing Group whom are billed for the same "core" charges, but may have some differences.
