Setting Up Developments

To set up a development, you need to add the basic development information and then map the development to specific default accounts, transaction types, and profiles.

Add Basic Development Info

Click SETUP on the Main Menu screen. On the Receivables Setup screen that appears, select the General Settings, Developments, Units tab and then click DEVELOPMENT. The Browse Development screen opens with all available developments displayed in a table.

Click

on the toolbar. The Add Development Wizard is initiated.

Enter a unique development code, type a description to identify the development, and check the checkbox if the development is late fee exempt.

Click START and then click FINISH to save and set up the new, "active" development. The Maintain Development screen appears with the new development information displayed.

Hint: If a record is active, it is available for you to work with elsewhere in the program. Uncheck this checkbox for records you no longer wish to use.

Map Development to Accounts

If necessary, click

and specify the default accounts, default transaction type, default profiles, general ledger account, and bank account information.

Note: For some types of developments, you do not need to fill out any additional information; for example, if the development does not deal with leases, you do not need to enter any additional information besides the code and description.
