New Application Setting – Allow Unpost of Closings with Forte Payments

Overview

  1. Settings menu
  2. Setup submenu

  5. Description: Allow Unpost of closings with Forte payments

Configuration Options

Setting

Result

Impact

Enabled (Default)

Users will be able to unpost closings even if the transaction included a Forte-processed payment.

High Risk: Unposting such closings may result in duplicate payments if the transaction is reposted and paid again.

Disabled

The system will block users from unposting any closing that includes a Forte payment.

Secure: This is the recommended setting to ensure seamless reconciliation and prevent payment duplication.

Best Practices & Usage

  • Default Configuration: Note that this setting is set to TRUE (Enabled) by default. It is highly recommended that administrators review this upon initial setup.
  • Recommended Action: We suggest switching this setting to Disabled unless your internal workflow specifically requires the ability to unpost these transactions.
  • Manual Oversight: Only enable this if your team is trained to manually verify and manage payment statuses within the Forte portal to avoid reconciliation errors.
  • Internal Coordination: Always confirm with your Accounting or Finance team before unposting transactions with linked Forte payments to ensure no duplicate charges occur.
