5. Click the Select button.
6. Use the Version Prompting form
to access data selection and data sequencing for the batch program. If the Data Selection or Data Sequencing options are disabled, you cannot review or change the data selection or sequencing for the version. 7. Note that if you modify the data selection to print specific notices, set the processing option to prevent updating the Credit and Cash Management table (F03B15). Otherwise, the system will update the table according to the data selection specified, which might compromise the collection manager’s ability to perform daily collection activities .The totals that print on the notices are dependent upon the correct data sequence; therefore, do not change the data sequence on this program when generating notices.

8. Click the Submit button.
9. Use the Processing Options form
to set parameters for how a batch program processes data. Processing options are unique to a version. You should review processing options to ensure that the settings are correct. 10. Use the Aging processing options to specify how the Accounts Receivable system ages your customer's invoice information. For example, you define the following information that the system uses to determine whether an account is delinquent, and if it is, the number of days it is delinquent: • The aging method • The date that the aging is based on • The beginning and ending aging categories
Depending on the “as of” date, date
type, and aging method that you specify in the processing options, the system determines which aging category to assign each open invoice. If the invoice is assigned to an aging category for which a delinquency policy has been established, the system generates a notice if that processing option is activated. 11. Use the A/R Company Constants processing option to specify whether the system retrieves aging specifications from the Accounts Receivable constants or from the Aging processing options. Values are: • Blank: Use the values specified in the Aging processing options. • 1: Use the values specified in the Accounts Receivable constants. If the Age as of Date field in the A/R constants is blank, the system uses the value in the Date: Age As Of processing option. If the value in the Date: Age As Of processing option is also blank, the system uses the current date. The system ignores processing options 3 through 12 when you choose this option.

12. Use the Aging Date processing option to specify the date that you want the system to use to determine the aging category to which to assign open invoices. The system compares the date that you enter to the date on the invoice, as specified by the Date Type processing option, to determine the number of days the invoice is past due.
If you leave this processing option
blank, the system uses today's date to age open invoices. 13. Use the Date Type processing option to specify the date on the invoice that you want the system to use to determine the aging category. The system compares the date that you specify to the value in the Date: Age As Of processing option to determine the number of days the invoice is past due. 14. Use the Aging Method processing option to specify which aging categories the system uses to assign invoices. The system uses the date specified in the Date: Age As Of processing option and the value specified in the Date Type processing option to calculate the aging for each invoice, and then assigns them to the aging category specified by this code. 15. Use the Aging Category 1 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 2 processing option to specify the interval that the system uses for the future and current aging categories.
Note that the system does not print
the future aging category on delinquency notices. 16. Use the Aging Category 2 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 1 and Aging Category 3 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the current and first aging categories.

17. Use the Aging Category 3 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 2 and Aging Category 4 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the first and second aging categories. 18. Use the Aging Category 4 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 3 and Aging Category 5 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the second and third aging categories. 19. Use the Aging Category 5 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 4 and Aging Category 6 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the third and fourth aging categories. 20. Use the Aging Category 6 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 5 and Aging Category 7 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the fourth and fifth aging categories. 21. Use the Aging Category 7 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 6 and Aging Category 8 processing options to determine the interval that the system uses for the fifth and sixth aging categories. 22. Use the Aging Category 8 processing option in conjunction with the Aging Category 7 processing option to determine the interval that the system uses for the sixth aging category.

23. Click the vertical scrollbar. 24. Use the Unapplied Receipts Aging processing option to specify the aging method to unapplied receipts. Values are: • Blank: The system does not age unapplied receipts. The system does not include the unapplied receipt amount in any aging category, including Current. • 1: Use the aging method that you specify in the Date Type processing option on the Aging tab. • 2: Use the Current aging column for all unapplied receipts. • 3: Use the unapplied receipt to the oldest open invoice or group of invoices in a customer's account. For example, if you have invoices in aging categories 1 - 30, 60 - 90, and 150 - 180, the system applies the receipt to the 150 - 180 aging category until all invoices are paid, and then applies unapplied receipts to the 60 - 90 aging category until all invoices are paid, and so on.

25. Use the Credit Amount Aging processing option to specify the aging method for credit invoices. Values are: • Blank: Does not age credit invoices. • 1: Use the aging method you specify in the Date Type processing option (Aging tab). • 2: Use the Current aging column for all credit invoices. • 3: Apply the credit invoice to the oldest open invoice or group of invoices in a customer's account. For example, if you have invoices in aging categories 1 - 30, 60 - 90, and 150 - 180, the system applies the credit invoice to the 150 - 180 aging category until all invoices are paid, and then applies credit invoices to the 60 - 90 aging category until all invoices are paid, and so on. 26. Click the vertical scrollbar. 27. Click the Update tab.
28. Use the Update Credit Cash
Management Table (F03B15) processing option to specify whether the system updates the Credit and Cash Management table (F03B15) with open invoice and aging amounts. 29. Click the Notices tab.
30. Use the Notices processing options
to specify how the system generates delinquency notices. You can specify options such as generation mode (proof or final), version, and the “remit to” address.

31. Use the Generate Delinquency Notices processing option to specify how the system generates delinquency notices. Values are: • Blank: The system does not generate delinquency notices. • 0: The system generates a report that includes all customers who are eligible to receive a delinquency notice and the invoices that are delinquent for each customer. • 1: The system prints notices and creates records in the A/R Notification History (F03B20) and A/R Notification History Detail (F03B21) tables. The system also updates the following fields on the invoice records in the Customer Ledger table (F03B11): Date of Last Sent Reminder (RDDJ), Number of Reminders Sent (RMDS), and Notification Payment Date (DTPB). 32. Use the Notice Print Program processing option to specify the version of the Delinquency Notice Print Program that you want the system to run when you generate delinquency notices. You can choose one of the standard programs, or create a custom print program. The available standard programs are A/R Delinquency Notices Print (R03B20) and Tiered Delinquency Notice Print (R03B21). Do not revise data selection on either of these programs.
If you leave this processing option
blank, the system uses R03B20.
Note that both R03B20 and R03B21
have processing options associated with them. 33. Use the Version for Notices processing option to specify the version of the delinquency notice print program specified in the Notice Print Program processing option. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses ZJDE0001.
