Service Charges Edit MGSG

You use this screen to view and amend service charges. Charges are used to generate postings to General Ledger. In most cases, the entries in the service charges screen will be generated from Accounts Payable Invoice data entry. However, you may use this screen to enter service charges manually.

You can only use this feature only when first using Service Ledger to build a picture of your current service history prior to running the first periodic posting process. Note that once an Invoice has been entered for a service, then the system will prevent any further manual charge data entry.

You can also use this screen to amend existing charge information, although such amendments are restricted to meter information and transaction reference (not for Invoice related charges).

Enter Company, if different to the default, in the selection window and click Edit | Insert from the pull-down menu.
