A dunning letter is a notice sent to a customer requesting payment of their past due obligations. Text for these notices are maintained and customers can be flagged or selected to receive a dunning letter depending on their credit review.
Choosing a Dunning Process
There are two types of dunning processes: basic and advanced. The table below gives you a summary of both processes to help you the functionality that best suits your needs.
| Basic Process |
The basic dunning letter process is easy to set up and provides the minimal dunning letter functionality that you need. The process allows you to:
-
define dunning text in multiple languages and assign a number to each letter and its translations.
-
select customers for automatic dunning and assign a distinct dunning letter for each static aging period past due amount.
-
select customers for on-demand dunning and request a specific dunning letter text.
-
print dunning letters for customers selected for dunning.

| Advanced Process |
The advanced dunning letter process requires a more sophisticated setup but gives you much more flexibility. The process allows you to:
-
print a dunning letter based on a customer's language preference.
-
assign a customer process code representing a side range of dunning options based on the number of delinquent days.
-
select customers or invoices for dunning based on invoice due dates and other options you have defined on the customer process code.
-
review the customers and invoices selected for dunning and modify the selections if necessary.
-
create a print file of the selected letters in one of two formats: a standard Lawson print file that you can view online and print, or a comma-separated-value (CSV) file that you can export to produce customized letters.
-
maintain a history of all dunning letters printed with associated detail.
