     • Apply Late Fee (Fixed): this option allows you to define fixed amount, currency specific late fees for any currencies configured on the owner. A Penalty Service will need to be selected in order to associate the fee to a service and determine how the charge is applied (e.g. the service selected can be configured as tax exempted if required). The penalty service name can also be reflected on invoices, web portals, reports, etc. depending on your configuration

     • Apply Late Fee (Percent): this option allows you to define percentage based, currency specific late fees for any currencies configured on the owner. The percentage fee specified will be applied against the invoice balance amount (e.g. 1.5%). A Penalty Service will need to be selected in order to associate the fee to a service and determine how the charge is applied (e.g. the service selected can be configured as tax exempted if required). The penalty service name can also be reflected on invoices, web portals, reports, etc. depending on your configuration

     • Send Notification: this option will email the account billing contact when the level is executed. An 'Email Template' field will appear when selecting this option, allowing you to choose a preconfigured email message to be sent (e.g. payment overdue 1st notice, payment overdue final notice, etc.)

     • Change Account Status: this option permits you to switch an account's status when the specified level is executed. A 'Status' field will appear when this option is selected allowing you to choose from the list of account statuses you have setup (e.g. suspended, disabled, etc.). To configure or view account statuses see status types. Account statuses with a back-end status of 'Canceled' will not appear in this list as 'Canceled' status accounts cannot be reactivated
