DUNNING:-
IMG/FA/ARAP/BT/Dunning/Basic Settings for Dunning
While posting repeated invoices, if the credit limit is crossed, you may not be permitted to enter further invoices. In such a case, IMG/ES/Defi/Define Credit Control Area. If a credit limit is not set, you cannot enter invoices.
•     Define Dunning area  :  for each co code, a dunning area is defined.
•     Define dunning keys  :  max 4 levels are possible like 1,2,3 reminders etc.
•     Define dunning block :  for legal cases, dunning must be blocked.
•     Define dunning procedure :  [ FBMP ]
o     Dunning interval  -  frequency of dunning e.g. 14 days
o     Totaled for items – when a dunning level 1 is maintained, totaling takes place level 2 onwards. If level 0 is maintained, all items are totaled. The totaled items are for threat perception etc. In Germany, court orders can only be issued level 3 onwards for total of all items dunned.
o     Minimum day arreas  :  atleast one item must have a dunning notice to be created. The minimum days in arrears have no influence on calculation of the days overdue.
o     Line item grace periods e.g. 3
o     Interest indicator  HI
o     Public holiday calender 99 international  IN  for India.
o     Std transactions set on, o/wise spl GL like downpayments will also be considered.
o     Reference dunning process @ 0001.  You can create your own dunning letters using SAPSCRIPT [ similar to ABAP ].
o     Dunning levels  [top button]  -  day in arrears @ 30  i.e.  dun after 30 days.
o     Calculate interest  -  set on after level 2 as letters after 2 i.e. 3 only have interest mentioned.
o     Always dun keep on  
o     Print all items keep on        
o     Payment deadline @ 7 i.e. after dunning letter, deadline to receive payment.
o     Legal dunning procedure   for items where legal letters to be sent [after 3 levels etc]
o     Charge for dunning  -  the charge for dunning can be fixed or a %age depending on the parameters set. Here a %age may help, as minimum amounts for dunning are set, sometimes if the total o/s is low, an item may not come into the dunning process at all. The %age is based on the total o/s of that customer.  You cannot define a fixed dunning charge, and a %age based charge at the same time.
o     Minimum amounts for dunning  -  the minimum amount to be considered for dunning. %age of amounts means %age to total of open items [for a customer]. If both are set, both conditions must be met.
o     Minimum amount to be included in dunning
o     Dunning text – forms are designed and can be changed using ABAP [a/c type D][Ensure the DUNNING TEXT FORMS EXIST]
o     Spl GL indicator  -  whether to dun.
For checking dunning open a separate a/c and raise invoices backdated, so that dunning runs can take place with the interval applicable. It may be necessary to open posting period suitably. The posting date will also have to be backdated and credit limit reset. In case of existing customer, ensure dunning procedure is set.
o     SAP/Ac/FA/AR/Periodic Processing
•     F150  Dunning
•     Identifier  user defined run 1,2,3
•     Select parameters
•     Dunning date  - the dunning date defines when the next dunning run takes place [after the interval]. If you click on current date, you may not be able to take subsequent runs immediately, and you may have to go to IMG and change the interval.
•     Dun posted upto  [consider posted upto date ]
•     Save parameters
•     Individual dunning notice @ LP01
•     Specify run dates
•     Specify dunning dates
•     Specify posted upto dates
•     Select print preview & printout [o/wise the dunning will not be considered, and subsequent runs will also be level 1]
•     IMG/FA/Global/Corresspondence  -  it is possible to view the various dunning forms & even create them [SAPSCRIPT similar to ABAP]
