NetSuite Dunning Letters Solution


What is Dunning in NetSuite?

Dunning is the process of reminding customers to pay overdue invoices and maintain account balances within a certain range (aka “collections”). It’s an automated system that sends out reminder emails and letters to customers who are past due on their payments.

In NetSuite, the Dunning Letters SuiteApp or the NetSuite Dunning module is the standard offering for automation in the dunning process for NetSuite users. It offers dunning over Customer Level, Invoice Level, or Invoice Group Level. However, NetSuite Dunning Letters can be a challenge for companies due to its lack of customization and functional limitations. Companies need a comprehensive dunning solution to overcome these challenges and allow them to streamline their collections.
