Charge Types
Updated 1 month ago
Introduction
Charges are fees applied to loans, and in LMS you can categorize those charges to keep track of why they were applied. The types themselves are up to you, and can be customized at the tenant-level; then, you'll select a type when you log a charge inside the system.
This article will show you how create and edit charge types, and then the article Log a Charge will show you how to select a type when making a charge.
Setting Charge Types
You can find your list of charge types by navigating to Settings > Loan > Charges > Types. You'll see a list of the five default charge types, as well as any others you've created.
Click the blue 'Add' button to create a new type. That pulls up this window:
Enter the name of the charge type into the field provided. When you've entered a name, click 'Save'.
You'll notice that added charge types will have three icons in the far right column of their listing. (The five default charge types that can’t be changed because they are needed to make other functions work properly.) For charge types you create, you will have the following options:
- Edit – Clicking this lets you rename the charge type.
- Delete – This removes the charge type from the system.
- Deactivate – When deactivated, a charge will no longer show in the list of charge types when a new charge is logged. If you want to add it back to the list, you'll just have to reactivate it.
