4.10 Statement Messages

The Messages screen allows you to set up messages that appear on account statements sent to customers. You can set up statement messages for different products. When the system generates a statement for an account, all statement messages matching the selection criteria are included in the statement file for that account.

The system inserts the message in the Text field into the statement file produced during the nightly batch job for the appropriate consumers.

A record of an account’s statement history, including the messages included in the statement, appears on the Statement’s screen on the Customer Service screen.

To set up the Messages
  1. On the Oracle Financial Services Lending and Leasing home screen, click Setup > Setup > Administration > User > Products > Statement Messages > Loan.
  2. In the Statement Messages section, perform any of the Basic Operations mentioned in Navigation chapter.
