Disabling application distributions

Happy Friday! ?

I wanted to pop in here to make sure everyone saw the What’s new post for November 1st.

Based on feedback from our users, we have added an option to allow Billing clerks to disable the creation of application distributions in the system. Application distributions are created when a payment or credit is applied to a charge and basically washes the application amount through the AR. Since Billing Management is a single AR summary setup, these application distributions are creating a lot of clutter in the Post to GL file and extra noise on the Distributions grid on transactions.

For example, if we have a credit that’s applied to two charges, application distributions will create a distribution for each application. In the example below, we see a distribution for $9,999 and one for $1 based on the applications for the same amount. But they are both for the AR summary account.

When application distributions are disabled, we only have one distribution for the AR summary to cover the amount for both of the charge applications:

To disable the creation of application distributions:

• In Billing Management, go to Settings > Transaction rules > Application distributions tile and click Edit
• Uncheck the option to Enable application distributions
• Save

Disabling application distributions will not impact any existing applications and will only stop the creation of them once the option is disabled. Let us know if you have any questions!
