Costs

The Costs view displays a list of the costs associated with the account. For each cost, the Reference Number, Cost Category, Posting Priority, Change Date, and Balance/Cost Due are displayed. For each cost listed, the user has the ability to view, edit, or delete the cost by selecting the appropriate hyperlink.

Selecting the Reference No. hyperlink displays the View Cost dialog box, allowing the user to view the selected cost's information. The Edit hyperlink, displayed in the Actions column for each cost, is used to display the Edit Cost dialog. This dialog allows the user to update cost information as needed. The Delete hyperlink, displayed in the Actions column for each cost, displays the Delete Cost dialog box, which queries the user on whether the cost is to be deleted or not. The Delete hyperlink is only displayed if the cost has not been assessed, does not have a due balance, and has not been paid.

The Costs view provides the user with the ability to add up to 20 costs to the account by selecting the appropriate cost from the drop-down list and then selecting the Add push-button. The costs listed in the drop-down list are those costs that are defined for the account's associated Recovery Cost control tables.

After the Add push-button is selected, the Add Cost dialog box is displayed. The user enters the appropriate data, selects the OK push-button and the cost is added to the Costs view.

The new, changed, and deleted recovery costs on the Costs view are saved to the Recovery Accounting Subsystem warehouse when the Save push-button on the Account Setup menu bar is selected. Each recovery cost that is added to the account is saved onto a cost record on database table (ZLT0056). For each cost that is updated, the updates are saved to the corresponding cost record in the Cost table. If a cost is deleted, the cost record in the table is removed. Once the account is booked, all of the account's associated costs are transferred to cost records (187) in the Loan/Fees table.

The Costs view also provides a filtering option in order to view only those costs associated with a particular Reference Number and/or Cost Category. The user filters for specific cost records by selecting values from the Filter by drop-down lists (one for each) and selecting the Filter push-button. The CACS Enterprise Browser displays the filtering results in the Costs view. The user may remove the filtering by selecting the Remove Filter push-button.
