Fire Prevention - Penalties - Mass Printing

This guide is for SDL Desktop users in Fire Prevention who need to send penalty notices for overdue invoices. Follow these steps when you want to filter invoices to find unpaid, past-due ones, then mass-print (or PDF-attach) penalty letters for the selected records.

 

1.  To show Unpaid Invoices, the Invoices data grid first needs to be sorted.

2.  If the Group By Box is not visible, right-click the blank area next to Options
