Introduction

Finance is an integral part of the ERP and all the revenue inflows and outflows are accounted for in this cental system.  In the case of BPA, the only touch point to the Finance system is through collections service. Whenever a citizen makes payment for any of the services he is availing, a receipt is created in the system which in turn will create a receipt voucher automatically.

Prerequisites

All the master data required by the Finance system has to be pre-configured in the BPA system for the various services that it provides.

Functionality
