Defining Financial Transaction Options

Bills, payments and adjustments share one very important trait - they affect how much your customers owe. This section explains the financial design of the system and describes how to set up the tables that control the financial impact of these transactions.

Note:

The tables in this section are the first of many that must be set up before you can create bills and apply payments. In this section, we limit the discussion to those tables that control the financial impact of bills, payments and adjustments. In later sections, we describe the tables that control other billing-related functions like meter reading and rates. It is only after all of these tables are set up that you will be able to generate the various financial transactions.
