Apply Pending Credit Batch Process
Overview
Pending credits are generated from transactions posted after the last balance record was created.
For example, tax bills could be processed in two installments. After the first installment is processed, payments are made and then posted. If an over-payment is made on the first installment, it is applied to the second installment, reducing the amount owed in the second installment. However if an over-payment is made on the first installment, after the second installment has been processed, you can run the Apply Pending Credits process to update the balance owed on the second installment.
Run the Apply Pending Credits batch process to apply those credits. You can run this process as many times as required. Only the records with credits that have not been applied are processed.
Credits can be generated from the following transaction types:
- Open Cash Credit (OCH): A credit generated from a cash payment.
- Open Credit (OCR): A credit generated from an adjustment.
