? Company Install. Utilities->Sales->Install Collections. This utility creates tables and stored procedures on MS SQL Server side Setup

? Module. Here you set up the module itself: is it integrated with SOP or Invoicing, User Defined fields, etc

? Collectors. Here you associate Great Plains user with collector role

? Actions. In you collection cycle you can assign actions to your customers. Later on Actions could be used as selection range in the Collection Query

? Letters. You can automate your actions with sending different type of predefined letters where customer info goes into designated fields
