Automated Email Notification to Customers of AR Overdue Payments

By | September 29, 2021

Overdue receivables are one of the most common and serious frustrations entrepreneurs face and the unpaid invoices impact everything which means if cash flow is interrupted you won’t have the money to keep your business operational. Reaching out to customers with past-due invoices is often one of the most time-consuming aspects of accounts receivable. Instead of relying on a solely-manual process of phone calls, emails, and mailed invoices, an automated email notification is often enough to prompt a customer to send payment. So our key is to develop an effective means of sending automated payment reminders via Email to customers periodically so that it will reduce the manual task of concerned team and also will help customers to remember and help them to pay on time.

New Stuff: ActiveX component can’t create object

To achieve this requirement in Sage 300 ERP, we have built a component that sends the automated emails of AR Overdue payments to the customers. Essentially the component is developed with a vision to send automated email notification to the customers, so that customer get notified about their due payments on daily basis .This utility will save the process of checking the AR Overdue manually and will also get the reminder in the form of Email notification which will help reminding the customers of their overdue payments.

Customer’s Email Id to which the email notification should be sent can be configured in the AR Customers screen in E-mail field as shown in below screenshot.

These emails are sent in scheduled times and the emailing utility (component) is added as a scheduler that will directly send the email of AR Overdue payments of respective customer in the form of report as an attachment. Scheduler will be executed for the all the customers in the AR Customer and E-mail will be sent to those customers for whom Email ID has been configured in AR Customers screen and who have the overdue payments.
Below is the mail format which will be sending to Email Id’s configured in the above AR Customer screen. Mail format can be customized according the user’s requirement.
