Hi all,

No doubt will see a number of you in a few weeks.

Just wondering, when entering legal costs against a rate account, is it necessary to enter each cost as a separate line, or can the costs be raised as one total? We have in excess of 200 assessments needing costs raised, so am trying to reduce processing time.

BTW, operating on Fujitsu here. Rates doesn’t have the ability to upload a csv batch file unfortunately, so that’s out.

Cheers, and thanks

Jason

Hi Jason, we aggregate the charges when they are incurred together. For example, the assessment rates transaction history shows “SLC Legal Costs” totaling $492.00, but these costs are actually comprised of three separate charges viz. court issue fee, solicitor’s costs and service fee. Any further costs are added to the assessment account as individual line items as they are incurred, like judgment solicitor’s costs for example.

Hopefully I’ll catch up with you in a couple of weeks…will ask how things are going in my childhood stomping ground! Cheers, James

Hi James,

Thanks for the response. We decided to take the approach, making things a little more streamlined for us.

Cheers

Hi Jason,

Can confirm here at Wollongong we take the same approach as James from Cessnock.

Regards,
Dallas
