Integration with Oracle Receivables Invoicing and Fees and Payments for Licenses

This feature supports integration with Oracle Receivables to include License fees that are due after an application is submitted. 

Once enabled:

  • Fees assessed and due after an application is submitted can be invoiced to Oracle Receivables. 
  • Payments received in Oracle Receivables for License fees can be synced to Permitting and Licensing.
  • Standard receipts can be created in Oracle Receivables if the payment is received in Business Licenses for the invoiced fee.
  • A credit memo can be created in Oracle Receivables if a fee is adjusted after it has been invoiced.
  • Adjustments made in Oracle Receivables for License invoices can be synced to Permitting and Licensing.

Allows agencies that are running Oracle Receivables to process invoices when payments are made in Oracle Permitting and Licensing for License fees.
