Resolution

On-the-fly Penalty will only calculate on the unpaid balance for charge codes that are setup with the Subject to Penalty checkbox enabled. Typically, this is only PRIN Activity Type charge codes.

For Penalty, PEN Activity Type charge codes, to include on-the-fly Interest as well in the penalty calculation, the Interest Charge Code field on the PRIN charge code must also be assigned with a FEE Activity Type charge code, to represent the Interest, and that Interest FEE charge must also be setup with the Subject to Penalty checkbox enabled. Note: This functionality only exists in Enterprise ERP 2024.1 and up.
