Create a collection letter

  2. In the Parameters field group, define the kind of transaction to create collection letter proposal lines for. You can also indicate the type and date of the collection letter, and whether to include all customer accounts in the periodic job, each with their own specific posting profiles, or include only customer accounts that have a particular posting profile.

    When you click OK, lines that are proposals for collection letters are automatically created in the Print/post collection letters form.

  4. Edit the proposal lines in this form, and then cancel, print, or post the proposal lines, as appropriate.
