Simple Forms introduces you to the features of the many screens you see in the Water System system.
Water Master: A comprehensive list of screens that put all the information about each account at your fingertips.
Rates: Allows you to edit the water rates for the different billing types.
Banks: A simple form that allows you to edit banks' address and contact information.
Water Certificates: Law firms often request a current water account status when a property is sold. This form is often used to print Water Certificates for
rolls that are not in the roll book.
Account Adjustments: Use this form to alter the amount owing for an account.
Meter Readings: Use this form to enter the readings collected by the meter reader.
Bill Adjustments: Opening and Closing / Final bills are set up using this form.
There are several other forms and reports available through the menu system. Below is a list of the simple forms that have not been addressed in other areas of this help file. Water Menu
Change Bank/Mortgage: To move all accounts that are using a certain bank to a new bank code, use this form. This is indeed described on the Banks help page, but it may be hard to find.
Service Areas: Areas of the city, perhaps those that are on different water systems, can be entered here. Each roll is assigned to a service area and the billing reports are broken up by service area. Export Meter Readings: This tool is used to send property data to a meter reader like the AutoReader. The import is done using the Import button on the Meters tab of the Water Master.
Administration Most items in the Administration menu are password protected. Schedule: Allows you to change the description for the different billings that show on the Water Certificates. A picture of the Schedule form can be seen on the Law Firms/Water Certificate help page. Transfer Arrears: Municipalities are
allowed to move bill amounts that were billed in the previous year and have not yet been paid to their property tax systems. Unpaid amounts for non-resident rolls will remain in the water system. G/L Accounts:
This will let you choose which accounts are used during the billing and adjustment processes. Batches: This form lets you change the descriptions
of each billing batch. Once the batches are set up, there should be no need to change them unless your bylaws are changed. |
