ClosedNavigation Flowchart

Here is a flowchart of Business Revenue License Bills and License Certificates navigation. Common Actions are included only if critical to completing the task. Obvious actions, such as Save, Previous and Close, are not  included in the flowchart.

Description

Print a batch of bills after processing license renewals. This task uses the same screen used to print license bills, which is a different task.

NOTE: The option to prohibit printing of a business license certificate until all requirements are met and approved is available. To prevent certificate printing until requirements are met, go to Configuration > Application Settings and set the Business Revenue application setting 'Allow License Certificate printing if Requirements are not met' to False.

 

Disabling Printing

The option to disable bill printing is available. To disable bill printing, go to Configuration > Application Settings > Maintain Application Settings and set the Business Revenue effective date Boolean application setting Allow License Bill Printing to false.

 

Delinquent Accounts and Printing License Certificates

When the Business Revenue effective date Boolean application setting Delinquent Flag to Restrict Certificate printing is set to true, certificate printing is prevented when there are any delinquent bills on the account, whether the bills are on a business revenue account or any other account in the application.

Go to Configuration > Application Settings > Maintain Application Settings and set the Business Revenue effective date Boolean application setting Allow License Bill Printing as applicable to your jurisdiction.

NOTES:

  • When set to true and when generating a license certificate for an account that has any related delinquent revenue object tax bills, a message displays to that effect, with the option to Print Info, click OK to take no action, or select Print Certificate to proceed with printing the certificate.

  • When set to true, when delinquent accounts exist, a Delinquent Related Revenue report is generated automatically as part of this process and is available when processing is complete via Info Center > Batch Processes > Monitor Batch Processes > [select process] > View Batch Process Details.

 

How Certificates Are Processed for Printing

This task includes error logging which is shown in the Confirmation Detail Report. Also processing performs as follows:

  1. If no records match the search criteria, an error log is generated rather than a printed blank form.

  2. The process does not stop if an error occurs on a single certificate, but instead skips the record and continues printing the rest. A record of the error and skipped record is added to the Confirmation Detail Report.
