Green Fees are an alternative to Paper Fees which you can use to encourage your clients to go paperless. They are set against the Unit Type on the property.

When you process Green Fees, all clients that do not have an email address ticked For Documents and For Invoices on their account will receive a charge. If clients have these ticked, but have Always Print Invoices ticked on their account they will also receive a charge.

Alert
Please contact Support to configure Green Fees for your company.

You will need to let us know:
  1. The fee to be applied against each Unit Type.
  2. The Charge Description that should appear on the invoice.
  3. Whether the fee includes VAT.
  4. Which Nominal to post the fees to.
  5. If fees should be applied to new owners, or if you would like a grace period until after the first invoice.

You can choose to override the default fee for an individual client.
