Infraction Type Maintenance

Summary

 

The Infraction Type Maintenance window is used to create and maintain infraction types. Infraction types are used to track infractions against filed tax returns, such as late payments or missing signatures. Infractions are not generally associated with monetary penalties.

 

Infractions can be attached to customer invoices in the Return Maintenance/Cash Receipts window (CR> Cash Receipts> Return Entry> Select an Invoice> Infractions section).
