A/R Update Recurring Charges Screen

Select Percentage or Amount. Together with your selections in the Increase/Decrease and Method fields, this field determines how Accounts Receivable updates the details of the recurring charge.

The value you enter in this field depends on your selection in the Change By field, as follows:

• If you selected Percentage, enter a percentage.

  For example, to increase a recurring charge of $1,000 by $125, you enter 12.5 in this column. You can use up to five decimal places.

• If you selected Amount, enter an amount.

  In single currency ledgers, Accounts Receivable displays decimals appropriate for the functional currency.

  In multicurrency ledgers, Accounts Receivable displays decimals appropriate for the specified currency.

If you want to change the maximum amount in the recurring charge record, enter the amount by which to increase or decrease the maximum amount.

This field appears only if you have a multicurrency Accounts Receivable ledger.

If you are changing the details of the recurring charge by an amount, you must specify a currency. Accounts Receivable updates recurring charge records only for customers in the specified range who use the specified currency.

If you are changing the details of the recurring charge by a percentage, the currency field is optional.

If you do not specify a currency, Accounts Receivable updates recurring charges for all customers.

If you do specify a currency, Accounts Receivable updates recurring charge records only for customers using the specified currency.

If you specify Specific Distribution Code in the Method field, you must specify a distribution code in this field.

Using the Finder, select the range of customers for whom you want to update the recurring charge.

You can update recurring charge records for all customers sharing that code, or for a range of customers. Accounts Receivable lets you choose from a list of customers who share the recurring charge code you selected.

Specify whether to increase or decrease the recurring charge.

Together with the selection you make in the Change By and Method fields, this field determines how Accounts Receivable updates the details of the recurring charge.

You use this field to specify how to update the details in the selected records.

If you selected Percentage in the Change By field, select one of the following methods:

• All Details. Accounts Receivable increases or decreases all of the recurring charge details by the percentage you specify in the Change In Distribution Amount field.
• Specific Distribution Code. Accounts Receivable increases or decreases amounts for only details that use the specified distribution code by the percentage you specify in the Change In Distribution Amount field.

If you selected Amount in the Change By field, select one of the following methods:

• Spread Evenly. Accounts Receivable distributes the amount you specify in the Change In Distribution Amount field evenly for all the details of the recurring charge.
• Prorate. Accounts Receivable distributes the amount you specify in the Change In Distribution Amount field based on the current amount of each of the details.
• Specific Distribution Code. Accounts Receivable increases or decreases amounts only for details that use the specified distribution code by the amount you specify in the Change In Distribution Amount field.

Using the Finder, select the code for the recurring charge you want to change. You can specify the same code more than once on the Update Recurring Charges screen.
