Report shows Days Late only for the oldest invoice, however, the customer will receive information about all Overdue Invoices in Statement E-mail. If customer has more invoices where some of them match 1. Level and some 3. Level reminder, system will use Reminder Text that is set for the highest reminder level (3. Level in this scenario).
It is possible to also use standard report in module Sales Ledger >> Reports >> Open Invoice Customer Statement with specifying "Days of delay" (preferably not less than what you have specified in "Days Late" for 1.Level reminder).
Sending Reminders
Sales Ledger >> Forms >> Burti - Open Invoice Customer Statement
This option can be used if you only want to send reminders to a specified Customer or Customer Category or use other parameters which are not present for the maintenance.
To create Burti - Open Invoice Customer Statement documents and e-mails, Form Template has to be created or imported.
To add existing Form Template to the document go to module Sales Ledger >> Forms >> "Burti - Open Invoice Customer Statement" >> Operations >> Define Form and choose the correct template in field "Form Template"
Sales Ledger >> Routines >> Maintenance >> Burti - Create Open Invoice Customer Statement E-mail
This is a more automatic option and e-mails for all customers that fit under any of 3 Reminder Levels will be created in "Sender of Reminders" Mailbox
To create e-mail only for a specific Contact, choose it in field "Contact"
Mark "Include Open Credit Notes" to include open credit notes in e-mail text and attached pdf file
E-mails won't be sent out automatically unless you have marked "Send Automatically" in SL >> Settings >> Burti - Reminder settings
System >> Settings >> Burti - Timed Events
This is another Burti add-on which gives a possibility to schedule maintenances and exports without user involvement.
If you already have this add-on you can create a new record for Routine "Burti_ARSEmailMasterMn", with type "Maintenance" and set an interval of how often you want this Maintenance to be run.
More information about Timed Events can be found here.
