The article was created to show a quick tutorial on how to enter an exemption 

1. Navigate to Property Revenue > Property Tax Billing > Northeast > Massachusetts > Assessor Processing and Reports > Actual Taxes > Exemptions / Credits 
2. Click + (add)
3. Choose your category (most likely 20 for real estate)
4. Enter Parcel ID in the Property field
5. Cycle should be blank or zero
6. Select an Exemption code from the drop down
7. Owner information should default automatically
8. Percent should default automatically
9. Enter an entry date
10. Enter an effective date
11. The amount should pull in automatically from the Exemption Code Program 
12. DO NOT GENERATE exemptions at this time.  They will be generated later in the bill run process. 

Exemptions / credits is where sites can store exemptions and maintain them throughout the year (or delete them each year and start fresh).  You can add/delete/update in this program at anytime as exemptions are not generated until the actual taxes have been generated.
