Dog Charges

You have the ability to add Charges to a specific dog. Typical uses for this functionality include Nuisance, Vicious Dog, and Menace Charges. This process is used to enter Charges that will be collected at a later time. For example, a police officer issues a vicious dog fine to a resident for their dog that bit someone. This fine can be entered into the clerk system as a charge, so when the customer goes to your office at a later date to pay the fine, or process any transaction, the charge will be added to their cart at Fee Settlement.

 

To add a charge to the system, from the Dogs main menu, under the Dog Fines and Fees section, select Dog Charges. Search and select the dog. The Charge screen displays. Use the Service dropdown menu to select the charge you wish to apply to that dog. Click Next to enter the fee amount and complete the process.
