How to use

Reminder fee products

The product for the reminder fee on each step is used to set the total fee (including the fee from previous steps).

Example:

  1. Friendly reminder. No fee.

  2. First reminder. 10 euro fee. The reminder product “1:st reminder fee” should have the price 10 euros.

    1. The reminder fee of the invoice is set to 10 euros based on the fee product.

  3. Second reminder. 10 euro fee. The reminder product “2:nd reminder fee” should have the price 20 euros.

    1. The reminder fee of the invoice is set to 20 euros based on the fee product.

How to use

What will be done automatically

  • When an invoice is due, a reminder will be sent according to the configured reminder steps.

  • When an invoice has reached a reminder step that requires external collection, it will be sent to external collection.

TODO

(TP58644 “For each reminder step, show days since due.”)

If the setting (from TP58474 “Settings and rights”) named ‘useAutomatedReminderSolution’ is active, display an extra read only field on the InvoiceReminderFlowSov with the total due days up to that Step. Also display this as a column on the InvoiceReminderFlowMov.

Renamed the field in InvoiceReminderFlowSov and the column in InvoiceReminderFlowMov, from ‘Min days between next step’ to ‘Min days since last step’ for better clarity.

BRP Only documentation

(TP56617 / 2024.11)

Collecting and invoicing customers for the usage of automatic reminder solution is done using the solution for transaction fees. One special transaction type is created and BRP's share of reminder fee is configured for each customer just as any other transaction type.

For clarity, a new information text has been added to the customer invoice, applying on all transaction types, looking like this:

0.5*20pcs+5.5%*15000.0

The label 'pcs' is configured in the world service
