| Once you have created a Payment Plan with these defaults you may change the Origin Date, Start Date, Payment Count, Amount Due and Deposit Amount. The End Date is computed automatically by adding the number of months indicated in the Payment Count. If the End Date changes the program recomputes the Current Payment List to reflect interest through the new End Date. The Amount Due can be entered manually or by checking and unchecking the Include boxes in the Current Balance List. The Balance Due is computed by subtracting the Deposit Amount from the Amount Due. Checking the Stay box is an alternative to entering the Payment Count that forces the program to conform to the requirements of a Stay of Sale agreement. If checked it will create a payment plan with four payments, each three months apart, beginning with the month and year from the Start Date. | Once you have created a Payment Plan with these defaults you may change the Origin Date, Start Date, Payment Count, Amount Due and Deposit Amount.

| The Deposit Amount can be entered here so that it will be made part of the calculation of the Installment Amount and appear on the Printable Payment Plan described below. Entering the amount here does not replace creating a receipt, that needs to be done as a separate step on the Receipt Form as you would usually to receive a payment. If you have already posted a payment for the Deposit Amount you should not include it on this form because it will reduce the Balance Due below what is actually owed. If you have already posted the Deposit Payment and want it to show on the payment plan you can enter it here and manually increase the Amount Due by the amount of the Deposit. This may be confusing however because the Amount Due will not match the sum of the Current Balance list. | The Deposit Amount can be entered here so that it will be made part of the calculation of the Installment Amount and appear on the Printable Payment Plan described below.

| 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. | 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.

| | ====== 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. |
