Reminders

This chapter covers everything you need to know about reminders in TRASER DMS 365. The chapter is divided into the following sections:

Defining Reminder Level Texts

This section describes how to define individual reminder level texts. You can define as many reminder levels as needed for each term, though most companies typically use just two or three. The first reminder will use the settings of the first reminder level. When a reminder is sent out, its level number is recorded on the reminder entries, which are then linked to the specific customer ledger entries. If a follow-up reminder is needed, the highest level number from the existing reminder entries is identified. The new reminder will use the conditions from the next level. You can define texts for these reminder levels that will be printed on reminder documents. For example, you can state that the first reminder level on the printed reminder document says Payment Reminder instead of Reminder 1.

To define a reminder level text, please proceed as follows:

  • Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the page Reminder Terms.
  • From the table, select one of the reminder terms for which you want to define the reminder level text or define a new reminder term first.
  • Click Levels in the menu bar.
  • The reminder levels for the selected reminder term is displayed.
  • In the Reminder Level Text column you can enter a text for the corresponding reminder levels. This text will be printed as a headline on the reminder document.

Tip

On the Cust. Ledger Entry page, you will find a column called Last Issued Reminder Level that will show the last reminder level of a customer ledger entry. If a reminder is canceled, the reminder level of the customer ledger entry will be moved down to a lower level. If a new reminder is sent out, the reminder level remains unchanged unless a different level is entered in the new reminder.

You have successfully entered a reminder level text. From now on, the text that was entered in the Reminder Level Text column will be displayed in the reminder documents that were assigned this reminder term. This section describes how to cancel an issued reminder.

Canceling Issued Reminder
