Define standard opening and closing comments for interest invoice

This instruction explains how to predefine standard texts to be printed on interest invoices for late customer payments.

Outcome

Standard opening and closing comments are created for each language. You can review them in 'Interest Invoice Rule. Enter Text' (ARS080).

The standard texts are automatically proposed in the language specified for the payer in 'Customer. Open' (CRS610/E) when you create the interest invoices in 'Interest Invoice. Open' (ARS660).

The comments are saved in the parameter file (CSYTAB) and copied to the interest invoice file or payer (FPINT2) when you create the interest invoice proposal.

Before you start

You must define the language for the comments in 'Language. Open' (CRS010).

Follow these steps

  1. Start 'Interest Invoice Rule. Enter Text' (ARS080/B).

  2. Give the set of comments a three-position identity and enter a language. Press New.

  3. On the E panel, specify a description and a name.

  4. Specify the opening comment, also called pre-text, that is the text presented before the actual list of invoices on the printed interest invoice. Press Enter.

    The comment may consist of up to nine lines.

    To specify that a line in the comment should be left blank when printed in the final payment advice, specify an asterisk (*) in the first position of the line.

  5. On panel (ARS080/F), specify the closing comment, the post-text, that is the text presented after the list of invoices on the interest invoice.

    The criteria for creating a closing comment are identical to those of the opening comment.
