This is an example of what a scanned letter looks like when you click View Document. Â The number above the customer's name and address starting with 0000 is the customer's account number from Advantage. Â Enter that into the Customer Number field and click Next.
Various Contacts

Â Note Activity can be used to manage task escalations from the call center as well as other various actions that require follow-up from customer service. Â For example, if a welcome package premium is sent back to the warehouse as un-deliverable, a note is created on the account and loaded into Note Activity so that someone can notify the customer proactively that there was an issue with fulfillment.
