More About Fees and Debit Accounts (CDAQCAS)

• Your court and location must be set up on the Accounts Receivable Control form (CBACTRL) with a debit payment code.

• You can enter or select a debit account from which fees are to be paid. If an attorney is entered, it is assumed that is who is making the payment; if not, it is assumed the plaintiff is making the payment. In either case, the person must be an authorized user on the debit account.

• Multiple fees can be added at case initiation by entering docket codes with associated fees. When the case information is saved, the fee payment is deducted from the debit account.

• There must be enough money in the debit account to cover all the fees. If not, you receive an alert and have the option of continuing to file the case without a payment being made from the debit account or canceling the case filing until more money has been added to the debit account. If you continue, the fees will be added and payment will have to be made using the Payment Entry form (CBAPAYM).

• If paying the fees from the debit account will cause the account to drop below its minimum balance, you receive an alert. You have the option of continuing with the case filing and applying the payment or canceling the case filing until more money has been added to the debit account. If you continue, the fees will be paid from the debit account and it will drop below its minimum balance.

• The category type of the fees and the payment must be the same. If not, you receive an alert and have the option of continuing to file the case without a payment being made from the debit account or canceling the case filing. If you continue, the fees will be added and payment will have to be made using the Payment Entry form (CBAPAYM).

• When fees are paid from a debit account, a receipt will be created for the debit account owner as established on the Debit Account Master form (CBADMST). You can view or print the receipt by selecting the appropriate options in the navigation frame.
