This task is used to ”clear” Overage Open Items from the Household Detail > Accounting > Subsidy tab of households who pay more than gross potential. Generally, Overage Open Items are included in a Subsidy payment batch on the Accounting Detail > Payments tab when the funding program provides subsidy. Overage is netted against Subsidy received to come down to the net payment received from the agency.
This will create a General Ledger entry to debit the Subsidy A/R account and credit Overage Payable, but will not actually cut a check. You will need to create checks in your Accounting software.
The charge types Overage Income and Overage Payable need to be set up with the appropriate GL accounts.
