Collection Notes as Attachments

Question

We are planning to attach a Word, Excel or PDF document to a customer master record using the Generic Object Services functionality.  The attached document will contain information regarding the collection efforts we have put forth.  We need to produce a report for a group of customers which would include Customer Number, Customer Name, Overdue Balance, any Invoice Number for the Overdue Balance along with any Collection Notes.
My question is can a report be written to include information contained in the attached document?  How do I go about doing this?  Where is this informaton stored in SAP or is it even stored in SAP?  Any help would be great.

Following is the psuedo code, you can modify it accordingly.
l_notes := substr(rec.notes,0,2000);
l_notes_detail := substr(rec.notes,2001);
l_entered_date := sysdate;
l_creation_date := sysdate;
l_api_version := 1.0;
l_commit := 'T';
l_note_type := 'PEL_PDQ_NOTE';
fnd_global.apps_initialize(l_created_by,20634,401);
JTF_NOTES_PUB.CREATE_NOTE(
p_api_version => l_api_version
, p_commit => l_commit
, x_return_status => l_return_status
, x_msg_count => l_msg_count
, x_msg_data => l_msg_data
, p_source_object_id => l_source_object_id
, p_source_object_code => 'PARTY'
, p_notes => l_notes
, p_notes_detail => l_notes_detail
, p_note_status => 'P' -- Private
, p_entered_date => l_entered_date
, x_jtf_note_id => l_jtf_note_id
, p_creation_date => l_creation_date
, p_note_type => l_note_type
);
