If the Active field was unselected (the checkmark was removed) so the department is inactive, all the invoice transactions (including the one automatically created for use when calculating late charges for the department, if applicable) and payment transactions tied to the department will be changed to inactive as well. If the Active field was selected (a checkmark appears in the box) so the department is active, all the invoice transactions (including the one for late charges, if applicable) and payment transactions tied to the department will be changed to active as well.
If late charges will no longer be calculated for the department and the Assess Late Charges field was unselected (the checkmark was removed), the invoice transactions for late charges for the department will be inactivated.
