Collection Referral File
This function allows a user to create an extract file of Customers who have Loan/Receivables to be assigned to an outside collection agency. The user can create a new Collections Referral File for each external agency used by your school at anytime, or may choose to append a file that already exists for that agency.
The extract file is an ASCII file that includes Customer and Loan/Receivable data. One record is written for each Loan/Receivable.
To create a Collections Referral File, Click the "Add" envelope at the bottom, enter the information following the Data Entry below and click on the SAVE button and the new batch will display.
