Dunning Format Edit MBFM

Identify the Dunning Group and Severity Level to which this format is to apply.

Enter a Description, up to 40 characters.

Select the Letter Type from one of the following codes to determine how the dunning letter will be created:

Message. Print dunning text as a message on customer statements.

Record. Write dunning details file format only.

Record/Letter. Print dunning text as a letter and write dunning details to a file.

If Letter, Internal or Record/Letter is selected as the letter type code then letter lines must be completed at the next format.

Enter Dunning Limit if a monetary value is required as a minimum letter value before a letter is to be extracted.
