Accounting Finance:Reminders-Customer Collections

Overview

A reminder is a document sent to the debtor to inform them of their outstanding debt. There are 3 stages of issuing a reminder:

1. The system makes a proposal of reminders to issue according to your selections. You can print a control list to show the proposal
2. You make changes and print new control lists until you are satisfied with your proposal
3. You print the reminders in the debtor’s language. The system updates the reminder degree on the invoices in the Accounts Receivable.
