Testing Dunning Letters
I want to run some tests using the Dunning Wizard.
The problem that I have is that Dunning date-stamps records when it runs and then will not process records to the next level until a specified number of days has passed, the minimum being one.
Does anyone know what database date fields control this behaviour? I want to use SQL to reset them so that I can process the nexr Dunning level immediately.
I have reset the Dunning dates in OCRD, INV6, and ODWZ, but I still do not get any records selected.
Before anyone tells me that SAP do not support this, I know!
This is only for running tests in a junk database that will be deleted when I am finished.
Regards,
Douglas

Douglas,
I am not sure if resetting a database value through SQL is supported by SAP even though it might work for your scenario.

Hi,
I have a customer (a completely seperate one to my other Dunning thread!) who wants to start using Dunning Letters.
They have the following Dunning Terms:
Letter 1 - 30 Days
Letter 2 - 60 Days
Letter 3 - 90 Days
...and it is set to "One Letter per Dunning Level".
.We have taken one BP with very aged transactions during our testing. The first letter printed OK. It was my belief that you cannot print 2 levels of Dunning Letters on the same day, so we waited until the next day to try Dunning Letter 2.
Dunning Letter 2 is not being produced by the Dunning Wizard despite the transactions being well overdue. I have tried changing the Letter 2 days to 31 as a test but the Dunning Wizard still ignores this customer.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks
GreigHi,
This is the settings mentioned in the documentation for Dunning in the Documentation Resource Centre. I have taken some relevant part for you :
Dunning letter Effective After (days)
01 10
02 20
03 30
Effective After (Days) - This column is used for entering the
number of days following which the dunning level will become
effective. The daysu2019 counts are accumulative from one level to the
next, i.e. 10 days after the due date of the Invoice the level 1
dunning letter becomes effective. The level 2 dunning letter will
become effective 30 days after the level 1 dunning letter was
generated, and the level 3 dunning letter will become effective 50
days after the level 2 dunning letter was generated.
Check this if it helps.
Also, it would be helpful/informative for you if you check out the documentation on the Dunning on the Documentation resource centre. If you want the link, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
My customer has had an issue with Dunning Letters mixing up the transactions' posting dates.
This issue has now been resolved by upgrading to PL44. However, they have run and executed several Dunning runs in testing this issue (don't ask me why!) and each BP now has a Dunning Level and Dunning Date.
Is it possible to clear Dunning Levels and Dates from BPs?
Thanks
GreigHi Greig,
You have to tell your customer that any tests have to be posted on test database to prevent future mistakes. B1 system has strict rule in preventing transaction being altered. That is for legal purpose. Once is posted, nobody can change any history for those transactions.

Wrong data in XML output of dunning letters
When changing the output format for concurrent program: "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" to XML the following output occurs.
Parameters setting:
Order by "Customer"
Dunning as of date "14-NOV-2007"
Letter set low "STANDARD"
Letter set high "STANDARD"
Customer low and Customer high are filled with same customer name.
Dunning method "Staged Dunning"
Single staged letter "Yes" or "No" (no difference in output!)
Preliminary "No"
The following oupt is generated:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <!-- Generated by Oracle Reports version 6.0.8.26.0 -->
- <ARDLP>
- <LIST_G_CORRESPONDENCES>
- <G_CORRESPONDENCES>
<SEND_TO_ORDER>AAAA</SEND_TO_ORDER>
<POSTAL_CODE1>F_postal_code</POSTAL_CODE1>
<NLR_TELEPHONE />
<NLR_FAX />
<NLR_EMAIL />
<CORRESPONDENCE_ID>-1</CORRESPONDENCE_ID>
<CUSTOMER_NAME>F_customer_name</CUSTOMER_NAME>

<SEND_TO_ADDRESS1>F_send_to_address_1</SEND_TO_ADDRESS1>
<SEND_TO_ADDRESS2>F_send_to_address_2</SEND_TO_ADDRESS2>
As you can see most of the data fields are "fieldnames" like F_send_to_address_2 while an proper address was expected.
For all dunning letters I've tested the same output occurs each time.
However when I change the parameter Preliminary to "Yes" (a list is printed) the output is good. But I want this also for a single dunning letter.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Kind regards,
KoenraadThanks Gareth,
For your quick reply.
I've seen a second group (second top level element) and it seems to be the right data.
This might work, tanks,

Does anyone know if B1 can handle the following scenario for Dunning Letters?
1. Dunning letters are processed through the Wizard.
2. It is realized that a batch of payments have not been processed. That is done, which obviously changes invoices and customer account balances.
Is there any way to reset Dunning Levels and reprocess (regenerate) Dunning letters based on the new account balances?
Notice that I want to recreate the letters. I know that you can reprint existing Dunning letters through the Wizard, but in this case I want the letters to show the new account balances.
Unfortunately, the user documentation does not go into this level of detail.
2005A SP01 PL39
TIA
Douglas McDoveDear Douglas,
in this case it will be necesary to run the dunning wizard and generate the letters. If you want to double-check it, test it in you test environment.

Dunning costs and Dunning letters
Hi to All,
Any body can help me out, In this regard.,
In the report of Dunning cost(Sendiing Dunning letters to customers)., Customers are showing but company code was not showing.How can i get the company code for those customers.
And one more thing was customer dunning letter cost also showing differently for Customers(for one customer $ 2 and for other itwas variated to $2.50 likewise).
Where I can see the dunning letter cost per customer.
Thanks If in advance,
DaraHi,
Line items should reach minimum number of days, referring to the due date of net payment, to reach a certain dunning level.
In FBMP check you dunning interval. If line item has reached interval maintained for 2rd and 3rd level then items will not be dunned.
Also check dunning levels for your dunning procedure in FBMP.
If you find no problem with dunning settings then, activate additional log for the dunning run to identify exact reason for the problem.
Thanks!

Dunning letters excluding credits
Hello,
I am experiencing problems with my dunning letters. When using the wizard and selecting my BP I can clearly see credit notes on the recommendations report however when I come to print the dunning letter, it is omitting it from the report. Why would this be?
When running through the wizard I have the following things selected from Step 4:
Document Type:
Include Payments Not Based on Invoice = ticked
Include Credit Note Not Based on Invoice = ticked
Include Manual Journal Entries = ticked
Posting Date: From = is left blank To = 20.05.10
Due Date: From = is left blank To = 20.05.10
Letter Parameters
Allow Negative Dunning Letter = ticked
Display All Open Items = ticked
When i move onto Step 5, I can see my C/N reference for credit note. I then click 'Next' again to get me onto Step 6 and select print. Again the Dunning Letter is omitting the credit note.
Is this likely to be an issue with the layout or is this how works in that credit notes don't get printed?
Regards
JuanHello Bhanu,
Is this dunning process has customized. If this is customized please check the end to end setup.

Dunning Letters not printing Credit Memos
Hi experts,
I have created dunning letters to print from the dunning wizard but I have a problem.
The credit notes (credit amounts) are grayed out in the Recommendation Report step and I can't tick / untick them. Also, the Credit Notes do not appear on the dunning letters.
Any idea what I can do please?
Thanks,
vankriHi,
Thnaks for your inputs.
I can be able to generate the spool with the tab "Sample printout" on F150. Output seems to be fine in the spool but when i go for the tab "indiv. dunn.notice" then from there i am not able to take the printout of the same. Usually when user used to run from this tab, spool request automatically gets deleted after use and printout of the same used to come up.
Status tab is showing like -
Parameters were manintained.
Dun.selection scheduled for for 19.07.11 at 15:59:38
Dun.selection is complete
Dunning notice printed,job deleted.
Samp.Printout scheduled for 19.07.11 at 16:24:16
Samp.printout is complete.
Also can you please tell me whether i can use program SAP F150D2 directly for the printing and also will it update against customer?.
Thanks.

F150 Dunning letters to several customers
Is it possible to generate several Dunning letters to different contact when the standard dunning generate one letter to one customer? If yes, can you tell me how.
We have case when we have a dunning letter generated to one payer which is an agent. However this agent collects money from individual customers. So we set up Final Bill to partner function under the agent.
Now, when we generate Dunning, it generate only one letter to the agent but is it possible and how to generate the same Dunning letter to several Final bill to partners under this agent. Does anyone know how and where in the code that Dunning select the customers. ThanksThe following OSS note shuld be able to solve your problem:-
Note 1042992 - Dunning by mail w/ SAPscript: Introductory text w/ attachmnt
If you want to send the mail to several recipients, fill the field FINAA-INTAD with the mail addresses and separate each address with a blank character. There are a total of 130 characters available in FINAA-INTAD.

Dunning Letters and XML Publisher
I have created a template for the dunning letter print in applications. When we submit the dunning letter generate process it kicks off the print automatically and this gives us a problem as the print doesn't seem to have the XMLP template associated with it and we get no output. We can work round this by submitting the XML Report Publisher Request to get the dunning letter print as required. We do have the "one step" patch applied and other XML Publisher reports are working seamlessly so how do we get the dunning letters print to work seamlessly when we have no control of the submission?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
DaveTim
Yes it works fine in preview. Also works OK if I submit XML Report Publisher.
The problem is the template is for the dunning letters print report but we don't actually submit that, we submit the dunning letters generate which kicks off the dunning letter print. I guess the submit process within the generate process does not include the template in the parameters list so there is no output available when it runs.
Only thing I can think of is to modify the print report to submit the XML Report Publisher in the after report trigger but not sure if this is going to work?
I did see a similar query on metalink where the person was told there would be a solution in XMLP5.5 but I can't see anything in the about 5.5 doc that fits this issue.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,

Printing Dunning Letters using Smartforms
Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to print dunning letters using smartforms; the dunning data are extracted in program SAPF150D2;I modified the subroutine OFI_DUN_ACT to call function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF.
Now I need to extract the dunning data in program SAPF150D2 to be imported to my new form using GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, my question is where do I code the calling of FM GET_SFG_DUNN_DATA? I'm a little bit confused on the step by step process of the dunning data extraction to printing of the form... Thanks...In the INITIALIZATION of the Smartforms, after the call to GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, you have a many informations back, of which the record of MHNK and an internal table of MHND, which you can use to select other informations from database.
So fill or enrich your own internal table in the initialization.

hi experts
i am trying to configure a process to generate dunning letters for employees claims.
1.Can dunning letters be generated by using customizing settings in HR or can it only be done using Financial Accounting component?
2.How do i get data from claims to be used for geneating dunning letters?
ThanksHi,
The only difference in the process of dunning for one time customer and normal customer is that, the dunning frequency for one-time accounts is not checked in the master record but for each individual document.
Apart from this, there is no specific configuration as such for dunning of one time customer.
You can refer the below link:
