License Maintenance

The License Maintenance window represents the core of the Licenses and Permits module. This window is used to record application and license details, apply appropriate fees, and track licensing and payment history.

Cash Receipts LP Licensing Window

The CR LP Licensing window is used to create a license or application based on an LP License Type template at the time that cash is received for the license.

Adjustments

The LP Adjustments process is used to create adjustments on application or license records after payments or invoices have been processed. This process also allows you to apply new credits, deposits, or penalties, reverse transactions, and transfer credits and payments from one account to another.

Letters

The LP Letters process is used to generate letters that can then be sent out to a filtered selection of application or license holders. The MS Word-based mail merge form letters used in this process can be fully customized to meet a variety of mailing needs.

Past Dues

The LP Past Dues process is used to apply the penalties and generate the notifications associated with LP accounts that have past due balances.

License Update

The LP License Update process is used to quickly and easily update multiple licenses. This process can be used, for example, to update licenses after making changes to license-related fees, or to change the status on a large number of licenses without editing individual records.
