Purpose

Add, update, or delete collection statement groups.

Overview

Use Collection Statement Group Maintenance to create new collection statement groups. The format and content of a collection statement for a customer are determined by the collection statement group. For more information on printing collection statements, see Collection Statement Print.

Note If a collection statement is printed for a customer without an assigned collection statement group (for example, directly from Customer Open Accounts Receivable Management), the Default statement group rules are used.

For database information for this window, see Collection Statement Group Maintenance Database Information.
