Debtor Maintenance - Statements tab

Use the Statements tab to:

define who receives statements or tax invoices, including people or organisations who receive duplicate statements for an account
define the notification method for all recipients
view all statements issued to the debtor.

For example, you can send duplicate statements rather than defining split payments for a debtor and their ex-spouse. The recipients of the statements make private arrangements for payment but payment is received from the debtor only.

Opening the Statements tab

Whether the debtor receives a statement or a tax invoice depends on the setting of the main debtor's Statement Method, located on the General tab. See Debtor Maintenance - General tab.

Recipients sub-tab

The main recipient of statements is the debtor. Use the Recipients tab if the debtor has requested extra statements for other people.

Note: The Recipients sub-tab is the default tab when the Statements tab is selected.

To add more statement recipients:

Click or .
The Create Debtor Recipient window is displayed.
Type the statement recipient's name, then click .
Synergetic displays a list of possible matches. If a community record already exists for the statement recipient, select it.
Complete the statement recipient's details.
See Debtor creation windows.

The statement recipient's default mailing address can be home, work or postal. The recipient receives a statement headed DUPLICATE STATEMENT FOR <the name of the main debtor>.

Note: The exact wording depends on your organisation's statement format.

To initialise duplicate statements:

Select Module > System Maintenance > Finance Configuration Maintenance > Debtors.
Click the Debtors tab. See Synergetic Financial Configuration - Debtors tab in the Finance manual.
Click the Page 2 sub-tab.
