Payments - Costa Rica
This routine allows registering amounts to be paid/deducted in the future, i. e., amounts which are to be deducted or added to the movement of the month according to their due date, in one or more installments.
Among the many situations in which this routine may be used, the prime example is the case of an employee who has received a loan from the company. This loan's deduction can be performed, setting for future entries the loan amount, the number and value of installments.
Thus, the system deducts the amount referring to each installment every month, reducing the total loan amount. In this way, you only need to make a single entry and the rest is automatically calculated by the system.
The system keeps an entry history, storing all entries made, even after they expire.
The entries can be printed according to the indicated parameters, for several employees and periods. Information displayed is the same ones in the register.
