 When a tax payer brings in a payment the entering of the receipt should begin here in order to maintain a history of whether the tax payer has conformed to the terms of the payment plan. Enter the date the payment was received and the payment amount on the line corresponding to the payment being satisfied then click the Create Receipt button.  This will open the Receipt Form where you can continue processing the payment as normal.  If the tax payer is satisfying more that one payment at a time enter the payment information on the last one that the payment satisfies completely then click the Create Receipt button.  On the preceding installments enter the date of payment but leave the amount set to zero.
+Recording payments on this form is important because the program uses this information to generate Payment Plan Reminder letters for tax payers who have missed payments.  These letters are available from the Reports Menu.
+====== Changing Payment Plan Status ======
+At some point you will need to change the Status of the Payment Plan.  If the tax payers successfully finishes the payments you should change the status to Completed.  If the tax payer fails to complete the plan in a timely fashion you should change the Status to Defaulted.  If you replace the payment plan or for any other reason no longer need it you should change the Status to cancelled.  Only Payment Plans with a Status of Active are evaluated for Payment Plan Reminder Letters.  If a Property is completely paid off the program will automatically change the Status of all Active Payment Plans to Completed.
