Important! Payments must be applied line by line. Don’t just enter the full amount paid for a family on the first child; be sure to show the amount paid for each child (each line).
Note: When you click on a line all items associated with that Family Account appear in yellow with totals for that family at the bottom of the screen.

5. If the payment is not the same as the amount Due, select an Adjust Code to write off the difference or transfer it to the family; the Adjustment amount will automatically be filled in. Or, you may manually enter the adjustment if you don’t want to adjust the full amount of the difference.

Note: If you choose not to adjust the difference that amount will carry over as a balance due for your next agency payment.
