Exploring Charges Entry

The MARINA MATE system is used to record all the charges for term moorage, guest moorage, and anything to be invoiced to club members, term moorage customers and visiting guests.  Charges are entered directly as required, or are automatically generated from the Moorage Contract routine and the Visiting Guests routine.  Charges are also generated for yacht club membership fees and moorage utility fees.  All charges are kept on file, available to this function until they are invoiced.  Once invoiced, they are moved to history and can be viewed from the Charges History Inquiry application.
All charges entered into MARINA MATE to be invoiced must have a Charge Task Code.  Task Charge Codes provide Tax options, units display, G/L Revenue and/or Cost Centre codes and override Unit Prices.  Once invoices are generated and moved through to the Accounts Receivable system, applicable G/L Distributions, derived from the Charges, are then generated.
