What does the document type Reminder do on a general journal. I cannot find any documentation that explains what this document type is used for. 

Thanks

    Typically used for charges due to late payment of an invoice. Either to your vendor or from your customer.

    You can setup Reminder Terms and define the text that you want on reminders. Then you assign a reminder term to the customer and use the system to prepare, print or email reminder document. Part of the reminder terms is the ability to add a fee or interest when issuing the reminder. When dollars are applied to a reminder, the customer ledger entry will get the Reminders document type.

    You can also have Finance Charge setups for interest and fees which only do interest charges with a finance charge memo, These customer ledger entries have a document type of Finance Charge

    Claire,

    Adding to other replies... Within a General Journal or when a Reminder posts with Finance Charges, a Reminder entry is created reflecting it came from the Reminder process/functionality.

    I am attaching an old manual that explains Reminders and Finance Charges and it still applies on the BC version.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
