Utility Billing Year End Roll Over

Updated on

FOR CLIENTS WITH ENTERPRISE COLLECTION

  • Do not process in the middle of a billing.
    • Usually want to run the roll over before the new year billing. Especially if bar codes are printed on the bills. If the roll over is run after the billing is done the year on the barcode will not be the same as the year in collection. If a billing register is run prior to the roll over process, after roll over is complete, a new register must be run.
  • Run a Payment/Balance Report in Collection for the year and sequence that the roll over is being processed on
    • Run it for all years and sequences that the roll over will be processed on; leaving the total due fields open.
  • Change the Master Fiscal year in the Utility Billing Parameter
    • 300>301>02-then hit tab
