Summary

The KVS Tax Interface allows Springbrook to communicate directly with your KVS Tax System. The KVS Tax Search window allows users to search KVS tax data, select entire tax bills or individual tax bill installments to be paid, and then import that data into the Cash Receipts module. Once a receipt is generated, Springbrook will automatically update the related accounts in the KVS Tax System.

This interface will only be enabled if the Enable KVS tax interface toggle is checked on the CR Setup window.

  • Click the Show Batch Totals icon to open an informational window that will display Cash, Check, Other, Change and Batch totals for the active receipts included in the batch. Totals will not include voided receipts.
  • The Cash Entry menu item will open the Cash Entry window but only allow users to view the receipt being generated.
  • Menu security (SS> Security> Menu Security) can be set up on the Cash Receipts palette to disable one of the palette options.
• Click the Delete icon or press DELETE to void a receipt that is included in the batch.

• Check the Pay toggle next to each bill or installment you would like to pay.
  • Checking the Pay toggle next to a parent bill will import all the child installments into Cash Receipts for processing.
