Integrate Fee Tickets With a Document Type

You can configure a document type for fee tickets so that when you assign it to a document during the filing process in NextGen® Document Management, the application creates a workflow task that instructs the user to post the charges listed on the digital fee ticket in the NextGen® Enterprise PM application. You must first create a document type for fee tickets and then create a task type for fee tickets in File Maintenance.
