Tips & Important Notes

  • This module is the primary tool for the Collection and Accounts Receivable (AR) teams to communicate with customers regarding outstanding balances.

  • To ensure the Send e-mail feature functions correctly, make sure the Billing PIC data (including the email address) in the customer master data is correct and filled in.

  • Sending a statement of account routinely (for example, at the beginning of each month) is a good practice to remind customers and maintain healthy cash flow.
