AR161

AR161 - Dunning Letter Print

Run AR161 (Dunning Letter Print) to print dunning letters (past due notices)
selected in AR160 (Dunning Letter Select), AR70.2 (Analyst Review Detail), and
AR17.1 (Comments).  AR161  updates the customer's last dunning letter number
and date with the  dunning  letter text number printed and the current system
date,  respectively. The customer language preference determines the language
in which the letter is printed. AR161 also creates comments in AR17.1
(Comments) indicating the dunning letter and  the creation date for each
dunning letter printed.

A past due notice includes the customer address as defined in AR09.1 (Customer
Group Address), remit-to address, dunning text, and past due transactions. The
remit-to address is the address defined for the company in AR01.1 (Company)
or, if a remit lock box is assigned to a customer in AR10.1 (Customer) the
address defined for the remit lock box in AR14.1 (Lock Box). Past due
transactions are listed by due date. Amounts are printed in company base
currency unless you select Yes in the By Currency field, in which case the
original transaction amounts are printed.

Note: You cannot create dunning letters for national accounts that have
companies with different base currencies. Edits in AR72 (Credit Transaction
Review) and AR160 (Dunning Letter Select) will prevent this.
