Penalty details

Penalty details define rules for applying different types of penalty. For example, a penalty might be applied just once, or it might be applied periodically until a delinquent amount is paid. Each detail represents a property that must be matched for Infor Public Sector to apply penalty charges. For example, you may want to create a late fee for delinquent accounts with an area of NORTHWEST. You can further refine the criteria by creating another detail as a child of an existing detail.

Note: The properties that you can select when you create a penalty detail are defined in the Billing configuration in the Configuration Editor. By default a small number of properties of the Account object (Billing.Account) are available. You can also add additional properties of the Account object, or of these other objects:
  • Billing.AccountService
  • Billing.LineItem
  • CDR.Fee
  • CDR.Building.BuildingApplication
  • CDR.BusinessLicense.LicenseApplication
  • CDR.CodeEnforcement.Case
  • CDR.Planning.PlanningApplication
  • CDR.Project.ProjectApplication
  • CDR.TradeLicense.TradeLicense
  • CDR.Use.UseApplication

When you create a penalty detail, you must select one of three models.

  • The Periodic model gives you the most options because you can create both initial charges and recurring charges.
  • With the Monthly Variable model, you can only create initial charges. The Monthly Variable model prevents the total amount of penalties from exceeding the delinquent amount.
  • Like the Monthly Variable model, the One Time model only support initial charges. You can define minimum and maximum charges for one time penalty details, and you can define the initial charge as a flat amount.
