• Any GLA Charge MUST have a valid Owner, either a Contact or a Department Hierarchy.
• By default the GLA Charges import always adds new charges. It never updates or removes charges. This can create duplicates.
• If the UPDATE flag is set, the import will only update existing charges. This can be used to set Stop Dates on MRCs, or change Override Amounts, Quantity, Description, GLA, or Prorate flag.
• If an NRC has been billed, it cannot be updated in any way.
• If For an existing Monthly Recurring Charge has been billed, then Updating , if you update the GLA, Amount, or Quantity, or Prorate Flag, it will stop the existing Charge and create a new Charge with the appropriate changes. The date of this stop and start is determined by the Effective Date flag. If this is set to 'TODAY', then it will stop the existing charge with yesterday's date, and start the new charge with today's date. If it is set to 'BACKDATE', then it will use the date that the existing charge has been billed through.
• If you update existing Alternate Recurring Charges (Quarterly, Semi-Annual and Annual), they will stop and start like MRCs, but they will always behave as if the Effective Data is set to 'BACKDATE'.
