Late Fees Setup
- Click on the Late Fee Setup tab from the G/L Interface screen.
Settings in this area define how Move-N Accounts Receivables generates Late Fees on the resident statement.
- Automatically Calculate Late Fees?: Check this box if the Move-N system is to automatically calculate the Late Fees, utilizing the options in this tab. If the box remains unchecked, Late Fees may still be manually applied, but without the features available such as determining which records to apply, and whether to apply a percent for flat dollar amount. If Late Fees are to be applied, it is recommended this box be checked. The user will still be given the opportunity to apply and override Late Fees as desired.

- Date last Late Fees applied: Updated automatically by the program.
