Agent (Debtor) Statement

Debtor Statement messages have (in addition to Setup), 4 sections to them—Header, Lines, Item Total and Tail.

Header, Lines and Tail perform the standard functions of these sections as they do in other message formats. The Item Total is designed to output the outstanding balance of each booking.
