❑The Late Fee Invoice Generation method  uses a combination of factors (rate, grace period, minimum charge, etc.) to assess Late Fees based on two entries:

1.A specific Sale-Purchase Item that is used to create the Invoice for the Late Fees (see ØNote #1)

2.Any number of User defined Late Fee Groups (see ØNote #2)

 

➢Note #1: Be sure there is a generic Sale-Purchase Item named Finance/Late Charges assigning it the Item ID of F/C.
