3. Combined reminder
In a combined reminder all open invoices of a customer that are overdue are listed in one document. There is no need to intricately search for open invoices. The function collective reminder detects all invoices that has to be dunned for automatically.
The print out of collective reminders will be done for all selected contacts. Each reminder contains all open invoices with their related dunning level. From the second reminder on reminder fees and default interests will be calculated in that height as they are defined in the contacts details.
Content and formatting of the reminder is designed in the project templates of text template administration. In the print preview of the single reminder individual text can be added.
Using the File menu the reminder can be saved as a PDF document, sent by email or printed. There you can also scroll to the next customer’s reminder.
When the preview of a reminder is closed without printing or sending the document, the reminder applies as not printed. Only the real print or send process sets the new dunning level in the affected invoices.
The email sending of reminders is configured in the program settings.
