Request Summary:

This request seeks to enable all Accounts Receivables for a true name and associated aliases to be combined on the TPSE screen.  This change will only affect the CLJs.

Business Impacts:

This change will allow court personnel to see all accounts receivable for a person and set up a single Time Pay for the individual no matter which name the case was filed under.  Currently the courts have to set up a Time Pay agreement for each name which can result in an individual having to make two payments in a month rather than a single, combined payment.

Summary of Proposed Solution

The solution that the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) proposes will allow courts to combine Accounts Receivable (AR) for a true name and aliases into a single Time Pay agreement.  This enhancement will function in the same way that the system currently allows courts to combine multiple ARs for a true name into a single Time Pay.

Proposed Solution

AOC proposes to provide the ability to combine ARs from aliases into the true name ARs to create a single Time Pay.  When a true name has associated aliases, court staff will be given an opportunity to select which ARs associated with the aliases will be combined into a single Time Pay.  This request would impact screens:  TPSC, TPSE, and RCP.  In addition, Time Pay statements and Time Pay reports would also be affected.  AOC anticipates a change to the data schema and a probable data conversion as part of this effort.
