Setting Up Add Fee Actions

This topic describes how to add fees automatically based on attribute values in a resource (business object).

To configure an Add Fee action:

1. Expand the Criteria section of the Business Rules Details page.

   For more information on setting up criteria, see Setting Up Business Rule Criteria.

2. Make sure your criteria reference the applicable attributes in the resource, as well as the Assess Fee attribute value.

   Examples of resource attributes to evaluate include Inspection Status, Result, Major Violation Count, and so on. The Assess Fee attribute resolving to Yes (true) determines if additional fees can be applied for the inspection.

3. Expand the Actions section of the Business Rules Details page.

4. Click Add.

5. From the Action Name drop-down list, select Add Fee.

   This example illustrates an expression evaluating resource attribute values, including the Assess Fee attribute, and triggering the Add Fee action if the criteria is met. Details are in the surrounding text.

   

6. Click Configure.

7. On the Configure Action page, enter the information for the Add Fee action.

Example: Assessing Fees for Permit Inspections

An agency can enable inspectors to assess a fee based on the inspection results for a specific inspection type in the Oracle Inspector mobile application. For example, if the inspector fails a plumbing inspection and a reinspection is required, the inspector may want a fee to be assessed for that inspection. When the inspector submits the inspection results, the Business Rules Framework evaluates the criteria for a fee and applies the fee to the permit using the Add Fee action if the criteria are met.

1. Click the Permits tile.

2. Select the Inspection Complete event to create a rule.

3. Enter a rule name and description.

4. Enter these values in the Criteria section:

   Field	Operator	Value	Grouping Verb
   System Status	Equals	Fail	AND
   Assess Fee	Equals	Yes

5. Configure the Add Fee action.

Your agency must also set up the inspection type to enable the Assess Fee option on the Inspection Result page in the mobile application. For more information, see Setting Up Inspection Types.

To set up communications for added or updated fees, see Setting Up Fee Notices.
