How to proceed
  1. Open a case from the appropriate stage.

  2. Check open claims, due dates and payments already received.

  3. Read earlier steps and correspondence before preparing a further reminder.

  4. Open the preview and compare the amount due with the total open balance.

  5. If a justified claim is uncollectable, open the invoice and choose "Write off claim" with a reason. The rent portion is posted to account 3800, the service charge portion to account 3810.
