Reminder and debt collection schedule

When invoice is transferred to Reskontravahti Express service for reminder and collection process Visma Amili will send out the first reminder 10 days after the due date of the invoice for B2B invoices, and 14 days after due date for consumer invoices (B2C). In case invoice is transferred directly to the collection process, payment demand is the first thing to send out. See the detailed reminder and collection process from the dropdowns below.

Reminders and payment demands are always sent through the normal post (letters won’t be sent during weekends or public holidays which will then in some cases add few additional days to the schedule). Language of the reminders and debt collection letters is based on the customer’s language code defined in the original invoice (Finvoice InvoiceRecipientLanguageCode). Default language is Finnish.


Assignments

Out of all the invoices transferred to Reskontravahti Express, an assignment is created. Assignment is something through which the company can follow up the process on the Visma Amili side. Assignment is also used for all the communication between the sender company and Visma Amili. To link the sent invoice and assignment together, there is parameters reference_ids and invoice_id in the assignment having the invoice uuid of the sent invoice. There are 3 different statuses the assingment can have:


- Open : The assignment is open and Visma Amili will handle the reminder sending and debt collection process depending on the chosen collection type.

- Partially closed : The assignment has been paid but the customer still has open charges which Visma Amili will continue to collect.

- Closed : The assignment is closed. The assignment has been paid and no charges are open. Visma Amili has transferred the money to company’s account.


Message functionality

Messaging functionality is used for the communication between Visma Amili and the customer. Customer can add a comment or question related to the assignments or Visma Amili can contact customer regarding some important information related to the assignments. It is highly recommended to add this functionality as part of the integration to make sure both parties have a functional discussion connection and important messages do not get lost.


Closing the service

Reskontravahti Express can be closed by calling DELETE /v1/services/receivables or then by closing the service through the user interface. Visma Amili will still handle the open assignments.

NOTE! Even though the user closes the service, it might still be necessary to allow the use of the APIs in order for the user to continue following up the remaining open assignments and to perform events if necessary.
