Loop through the Promise Entries using an @pe loop with @pe.* field codes.

For example:

Start On: Debtor

Principal: @pls.pr

Useful Note You do not need to have the debtor's account open to access Promise Listing Summary details, so a report with Promise information may be queued in your daily batch.
