Suppress SIM Descriptions from Statements

Descriptions for all SIM codes can be suppressed from being included on guarantor statements. This option will not suppress the SIM codes from appearing on statements, and it applies to both batch and individual demand statements. This might be used for privacy or sensitivity reasons (for example, HIV testing) or to provide additional space for a brief statement message to print next to each charge on detailed statements.
