To add items to contract select the first empty line number. Push ENTER and the item will be put on the contract, to complete the switchout push ENTER then select yes, or you can do more switchouts by pushing F12 again.

A note about the Other Due field in contract maintenance.
Other Due: The other due field in maintenance will only show previous unpaid late fees and any other charges added to other charges due, it does NOT include current late fees. Current late fees are only displayed on the payment screen. So to remove a late fee completely you must remove it from the payment screen, take the payment, then go into maintenance and remove it from the other due field.
You can enable Autopay on a contract from the contract maintenance screen. The most basic Autopay you can enable by checking the "Pay by AutoPay" checkbox. Checking this box and setting no other options would make the contract be paid by autopay, the regular payment due, on every due date.
Other options are explained below:
Days before due to Autocharge: If customer wants to pay before or after their due date the same number of days every payment period you can enter that number here. If you enter a 2, the contract would autopay 2 days before its due date every payment period. Entering -2 would make it process through Autopay 2 days after the due date.
