To update a payment plan

Enter or search for a Plan Owner ID. Or enter or search for the Payment Plan Number. At least one of these fields is required.

You can also search for an existing plan by selecting Pmt Plan Query (CBIPLAN) in the navigation frame. If you've already entered a plan owner ID on CBAPLAN, all plans for that ID display when the Payment Plan Query form (CBIPLAN) opens. Otherwise, you have to enter an ID on CBIPLAN.

From the Block menu, select Next. You can make changes to the following information.

Effective Date. You can change the effective date as long as a payment has not yet been taken. If a payment has been taken, it must be voided before the effective date can be changed.
Pay Period. Select from the drop down list to indicate how often payments are due. Your options are: Weekly, Monthly, Semi-Monthly, Bi-Monthly, or Quarterly. Changing the pay period can result in past due payments.
Pay Amount. This is what is due each payment period.

From the Block menu, select Next to move to the Associated Cases block. You can add fees to the plan or remove fees from it by selecting Add/Remove Fees in the navigation frame. Customize the list of fees that display for you to choose from by selecting or not selecting All Fees. The following table illustrates the result of your choices.

	All Fees Checked	All Fees Unchecked
Party ID	All fees for the Party ID and case fees not related to a party	Only fees for the entered Party ID
No Party ID	Only fees for the entered Party ID	Only case fees not related to a party

From the Associated Cases block, you can perform the following tasks in addition to adding or removing fees.

To view all case fees for a an existing plan, select View All Plan Fees in the navigation frame.
To view account details of a case and party on the payment plan, highlight a Case ID, then select Account Info (CBAACCD) in the navigation frame.
To view account history for a case and party on the payment plan, highlight a Case ID, then select Account Qry (CBIAHIS) in the navigation frame.
To add fees to be applied periodically to the payment plan, select Periodic Fees in the navigation frame.

When you Save your changes, the system recalculates the schedule of payments based on any changes you made and displays the new payment schedule in the Scheduled Payments block.

The changed schedule only applies to payment plans with a balance greater than zero and a due date greater than the current date

You can make changes to the Due Date and Amount Due for individual scheduled payments. The system reduces or increases the last scheduled payment or adds/removes payments as necessary to accommodate the change.
When finished working with the payment plan, Exit the Payment Plan Creation form (CBAPLAN).
