Overpayments are now always shown on a Separate

Overpayments must be added into the program since the
money has to be deposited into the bank. On the
Fine/Fee Payment screen, enter the total amount of
money collected. The program recognizes there is an
overpayment and puts the money in OTHER.
Click HELP->Justice Court Fund Handbook to access the
handbook. Search on Overpayment (it’s actually on page
37) to see how the overpayment should be handled.
Added additional checks to block the 'DNA Fee
Due‘ indicator for cases that have not been
adjudicated and charges that have been
dismissed, withdrawn, or waiting for an ACD.

Added the option to issue receipt numbers on bail
poundage and bail forfeit bail applied cases in courts
that DO NOT have a separate bail account and are
running the secure version of the program.
Utility -> Edit databases-> Users/Passwords
Poundage requires a “B” in level 31
Forfeit requires a “B” in level 33




Set a delay on the Edit Judge screen indicating the
number of days until the scoff takes effect on
cases sent to DMV as Fail to Pay or Fail To Appear.
Most courts use 37+ days. Set between 1 - 99.
Turn delay off by setting to -1
Program calculates the number of days from the
DMV report date. At that time the red FEES DUE
shows on the case information screen. YOU MUST
STAY CURRENT WITH YOUR ERROR REPORT!
Corrected the scoff delay timer so it counts from
the first business day after a scoff is posted to
DMV instead of counting from the day posted. This
should fix the problem of defendants who wait until
the very last day to pay and the DMV Scoff letter
indicates the scoff lift fee is added at 12:01AM
on the following day.
Not limited to using an action code containing the
word “SCOFFLAWED” to trigger the fees due, can use
any action codes
OLD with Scofflawed
Action Code
New with any action
code
You don’t have to calculate the days until the SLF takes
affect- program does that for you
Edit Judge data and set Scoff Fee Delay for each judge

Adding a new letter – the program assigns an new
letter number so you can add a brand new letter to
your letter list. You do not have access to letter
numbers, so let program do its thing.
Replace an existing letter – there is a letter already
in your list that needs updating or needs to be
replaced with a better version
You must be very careful and think about whether
you are actually adding a new letter to your list or
replacing an existing letter with a new version of the
same letter.
Click New, respond to the prompt to add a new
letter. The program assigns a new letter number.
