Creating finance charges
Ajera creates finance charges based on the criteria you set up in Company > Preferences. You can then change the amount of the finance charge or delete it. Ajera includes the finance charge in any statements you send to the client.
- From the Manage menu, click Finance Charges.
- Multi-company only. Select a company.
- In the Finance Charge Date field, either leave the current date or change it. When creating finance charges, Ajera includes all outstanding balances older than this date minus the number of grace period days. This date appears on client statements and reports. It also serves as the accounting date.
- Ajera automatically prefixes all finance charge reference numbers with FC- so that you can easily identify them. To include a special identifier, enter it in the Reference Number field.
If you want Ajera to append 0001 to the end of the first reference number and then increment it sequentially for subsequent finance charges, select the Increment reference number check box.
