Delinking Accounts
OPTION 1: LINK/DELETE ACCOUNTS is the option to choose to move an incorrectly assigned account from one Debtor Master File to another.
Example: A Debtor Master File with several attached accounts holds the name of John Brown. After contacting Mr. Brown it is determined that one of the attached accounts is owed by his adult son, John Brown Jr. Use the Delinking Process to separate the son’s account from the father’s account.
A Debtor Master File for John Brown Jr. must be in existence prior to beginning the Delinking Process.
Important: When delinking accounts no one else can be using the system.
Select OPTION 1: LINK/DELETE ACCOUNTS.
