Revoke Turnover - Group

When transactions that were turned over to collections need to be removed from collections, you can use the Group Revoke option from the RCM Home Page Sheet Bar to remove a group of items at one time. Only transactions that have been turned over to collections will be available when you use this option to search for transactions.

The Revoke Turnover main page is similar to the New Turnover and Update Turnover main pages. The only journal code option on this screen is the Write off Correction code as only transactions that have already been written off are available from this screen.

Users may also set the RCM Status to a new status when the transactions are removed from collections.
