Dunning text management

Description

In the program area Dunning There are a total of five dunning levels available:

  • Remembrance
  • Dunning level 1, 2, 3
  • Internal reminder

For each dunning level, you determine after how many days a due but not yet paid invoice should receive the next dunning level and which dunning fees are added.

Days until the reminderSpecify how many days after the invoice is due or after the last payment reminder/dunning has been created, the open invoice will be dunned for the next time.

The program checks whether the terms of payment plus days until the reminder have been met. Only then will the reminder be printed.
For example: If you have defined a payment term of 30 days in the payment conditions and 14 days for the dunning level until the dunning, the invoice will only be dunned or reminded after 30 plus 14 days after the invoice date.

After a dunning level 3 reminder has been printed out, the outstanding invoice receives the last dunning level Internal reminder.
