    Hi srikaanth,

    Do you mean that if a customer invoice has been paid (Balance = 0), the invoices should not be included in the next run for collection letter?

    Hello Srikaanth,

    If I understand correctly - you do not care whether customer invoices are settled with payment or not. You would like to create a Collection letter ONLY according to customer balance. 

    Collection letters are based on open customer transactions - not on the customer balance. In the collection letter setup you can define "Minimum overdue balance", but it is minimum amount for the overdue transactions. The letters will be generated and sent to the customers only if this amount is reached.

    You will need to develop your own customization to meet this requirement.

    Hi srikaanth,

    As per my investigation in 10.0.24, once an invoice is settled with a payment, it will not be included on collection letter generation.

    The customer transaction will be locked and you cannot edit it.

    Thank you Michal Krejza for clarify that Collection letters are based on open customer transactions.

    Thank you Alireza Eshaghzadeh for response.

    My Last doubt is that however we enter the grace days in the Days field in the collection letter sequence form, then system which days will take to generate the collection letters 1, 2 & 3 either based on Days field in the form or invoice due date in the transaction?

    Please suggest

    Thanks

    Hi srikaanth,

    On "Set up collection letter sequence" you can choose a Terms of payment for your collection letter sequence.

    Example:

    You have not define terms o payment 10Days and Collection letter 1 is set up to 2 days.

    Then collection letter 1 can be generated as follows:

    Customer invoice due date + 10 days + 1 days

    Ref to Microsoft docs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/accounts-receivable/tasks/create-collection-letter-sequence :

    In the Days field, enter the number of grace days that you will allow. This is the number of days after the due date that a collection letter can be generated. The due date that is used for the calculation depends on the position of the collection letter in the collection letter sequence:

    • The grace period for collection letter 1 is relative to the due date on the invoice.
    • The grace period for collection letters 2 and higher is relative to the date that the previous collection letter is posted or printed, depending on the selection in the Update collection letter code field in the Accounts receivable parameters page.
