You can also print form letters and mailing labels from your Accounts Receivable data.
Sage 300 Accounts Receivable comes with a SAP Crystal Reports® statement formatted for laser printers.
A letter and label format are also included.
The letter format that comes with Accounts Receivable prints letters for customer accounts that are overdue by at least 90 days or a longer period (say, 120 days) that you specify.
Note: You can use the Statements/Letters/Labels screen to print labels for customer addresses. To print labels for customer ship-to addresses (for example, to affix on shipments of goods), you use the A/R Labels report screen. For more information, see A/R Labels screen
When to Print
Print statements at the end of billing cycles, and send them to your customers to show the status of their accounts and to request payment.
