Collection letter being generated for settled invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 277

Hi, I have a migrated Accounts Receivable open invoice balance that was paid by the customer after the data migration. Although the payment has been received and fully settled against the migrated open invoice, the system is still generating collection letter for the customer.

At the customer account level, I can confirm that the payment has been received and settled against the migrated open balance. However, on the Customer master record, under the Credit and collections tab, the following collection letter fields are not being updated:

  • Collection letter

  • Collection code

  • Collection letter date

  • Valid collection note

There is also a batch job configured to generate collection letters. In this case, the customer payment settlement occurred after the collection letter creation batch had already processed. Could this timing be the reason the collection letter was generated as the invoice was subsequently settled?

Please advise why the collection letter is still being generated despite the invoice being fully settled, and why the collection-related fields on the Customer master record are not being updated for this migrated transaction?

Could this behavior be related to the fact that this is a migrated AR open balance? If so, are there any additional steps or validations that should have been performed during or after the migration?

Also, what is the recommended approach to prevent collection letters from being sent to this customer?

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    This is highly possible because you might have posted these invoices using general journal and if system is considering only system generated invoices like free text invoices etc…

     

    On your other point please do check if your invoices are having open balance or settled before running the generate collection letter batch job.

     

    Ideally system shouldn't consider any transaction if that has balance Zero

    Hi Arvind,

    Yes, the open invoices were migrated using the general journal entity. Also, I have checked the open balance was settled after the collection letter creation batch job had run. 

    Would you expect as now the invoice has been settled, it will no longer create a collection letter (as per the collection letter sequence setup there is one more inline that can be generated as per the batch job)?
