Defining Fax Statement Parameters

Use the Fax Memo screen to define the parameters for those customers to whom you plan to send faxed statements. The Fax Memo screen is not meant to be used to fax a single statement and we recommend that you do not use this screen for that purpose. To fax a statement to a single customer, see Faxing Single Statements.

To define fax statement parameters:

  1. From the A/R menu, select Print Statements to display the Print Statements screen.

  2. Use the Fax hot key to display the Fax Memo screen.

  3. The system displays the following information:
