How to Use Other Cost Types

 

Campus Partners is pleased to announce enhancements to the “other cost” field and reporting on System III. You now have the flexibility when adding “other cost” to assign a cost type. The cost type enables you to distinguish why the “other cost” was assessed. To access the new screen, simply key COST in the option field and press the enter key. The new screen also displays the amount of cost due by type, the cost paid cumulative by type and the cost paid year to date by type.

To view the new COST screen, please follow the steps below:

  • Log onto System III.
  • After accessing a loan, key COST in the option field and press the enter key. The ADD COST screen will display.
  • Simply key in the “amount of cost” and the “cost type.” The date assessed field will default to today’s date; however, you have the flexibility to change it.
  • Once this information has been entered, press the enter key. The “amount of cost” and “cost type” keyed will display and the option field will reflect CHG.
  • Review the information keyed and if correct, press the enter key. UPDATE SUCCESSFUL will display at the bottom of the screen when the transaction has been completed.
