Difference between dunning area and dunning procedure

Hi,
can anybody explain the exact differnce between dunning area and dunning procedure
why we define both n how we use them
what is the differnce between dunning by dunning area and dunning by dunning procedure
i would be very much thankful if can get the exact differnetation

Dunning Areas are organizational units that you use to process the dunning program for example, by division, or sales organization.
You use dunning areas if several organizational units are responsible for carrying out dunning within a company code. These organizational units are represented by dunning areas in the SAP System.
You can have either One dunning procedure for One dunning area or several Dunning procedures per dunning area.
Dunning procedure actually defines how business partners are dunned.
The dunning program duns open items in customer and vendor accounts if the overdue items result in a debit balance. When you configure the dunning program, you can specify additional criteria for determining whether accounts or their open items are to be dunned.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Nandita

Unrestricted and valuated stock are different

we have un-restricted stock of 95140 kg and valuated stock of 5259 kg with value of 1,12,100.
Now how i can make both stocks equal?
suppose my physical stock is 5259 kg which is equal to valuated stock of 5259 kg then how i can reduce un-restricted stock only?

Even having value set to 0, the valuated stock quantity will be affected by every movement. This problem could happened if you set the material type as relevant for valuation after the material was already active (1st you set to manage only quantities, and you had negative stock, then you activate the value updating and just then the valuated stock began taking quantities into consideration).
To solve this problem you should set your valuated stock to 0 (562) posting to an accrual account. Stop all activities in your valuation area, and un-mark the value updating in the material type definition. Post a movement to set your unrestricted stock to 0, change back to value updating and post the correct inventory quantity (561).
Take into consideration that now, you will have in your Inventory GL account only the value corresponding to the valuated stock quantity. The accrual account should be cleared with both movements, but if the correct quantity is the one u have as unrestricted stock, I will suggest to post the 561 for the valuated stock (clearing the accrual account) and then post another movement for Inventory difference to a revenue account.
Hope this helps,

How to assign a Sales Area to multiple Dunning Areas

I was able to assign a Sales Area to a dunning area but my client wants a Sales Area to multiple dunning areas.
Can you advise on how to get this done?
Thanks.

Dear Abbey,
This is not possible with SAP Standard. Dunning area is unique per Sales Area. You can assign only one dunning area for the combination of Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division.
In IMG under
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account Assignment/Costing -> Assign Dunning Areas
Post your queries in relevant forum.
Regards,
Naveen.

Hi Atif Farooq,
Dunning program use to dun both the customer and vendor about their outstanding amount & generate Dunning letter (payment reminder or notice to remind them of their outstanding debts)
If you wish to use the automatic dunning procedure, you have to make setting they are
1. Dunning areas (OB61)
A dunning area is an organizational unit within a company code used for the dunning process. It may be a division or a sales operation
2. Dunning procedures (FBMP)
    2a. dunning interval days
    2b. No of dunning levels & some controls parameter ( use can see standard in SAP)
3. Assign dunning procedure to the customer / vendor (XD02)
4. Run the Dunning (F150)
Dunning is extra future to client for generating the reminder letters & it wonu2019t effect exist setting & Just need to update same procedure to customeru2019s
Note: We can use for if vendor has a debit balance as a result of a credit memo. &If a customer is also a vendor, you can off set the account balances against one another
Thank you

Dunning notices per account with dunning area activated

Hi everyone,
is it possible to have dunning notices per customer account, although the flag "Dunning by dunning area" is set ? If yes, which parameters have to be set with which value(s) ? We are working with an ECC 6.0-system and actually dunning notices are printed per account and dunning area, so probably customers get different dunning letters ...
Thanks in advance for help
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
we can run dunning notice for each customer by maintaining dunning area.

Transfer of down payment request to FI without dunning area

Hello,
when creating a down payment request through VF01 I succeed in filling the dunning area.
However, the FI-document line does not contain the dunning area.
Dunning by dunning area/Company code is set.
Customer "equipped" with dunning area.
Field BSEG-MABER open for posting (e.g. within F-37 within FI).
Perhaps you have a hint for a successful transfer.
Thanks a lot in advance.

How dunning area derived from sales area

Dear Guru,
When you press F1 on dunning area, you will get the following:
Dependencies
The dunning area must be noted in the line items. As long as documents are copied from preliminary work areas (billing documents), the dunning area can be derived from details such as division or sales area, if necessary.
Here i want to know any IMG setting to set dunnign area derived from sales area?
The reason is that I noticed that in BSEG table, those Sale billing document with dunning area = blank. could anybody tell me the following
1) any duning area derivation in IMG need to set, eg, dunning are derived from division/sales area
2) which table, the dunning are is noted for billing document from sales side.
Thanks,
Kick

Hiya,
One assigns the Dunning Area to the Sales Area in table TVTA.
In IMG, follow the path:
Sales & Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Account Assignment/Costing --> Assign Dunning Areas
This is again based on requirement. You normally assign Dunning Areas to the Company Code.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Defaulting batch and valuation type for a specific division for tcode me21n

Hi
I would like to default the valuation type and batch for a specific division while creating the PO.
Kindly let me know if there is any user exit for this.
Thanks & Regards
Bhagya

Hi .
Actually my requirement is while you are creating PO, the value say 'ABC' must be defaulted both in Batch and valuation type but when change that to 'DEF' it should allow you.. means you should be able to modify the batch and valuation type fields. I can be kept empty also.
I tried using field exit to default Batch and valuation type, but it does not work if the batch is empty.
If I use the BADI you mentioned what are import and export parameters and how do I code to meet my requirement.
Kindly let me know.
I will definitely reward points if it works.
Thanks in advance
Bhagya

FBL5N Adding Dunning Procedure and Accounting clerk in layout option

Hi Gurus
Plaese help me to add the field Dunning Procedure and Accounting Clerk in the hidden field option for changing layout in FBL5N
I have checked for the option of Define Special fields for finding and sorting data but it does not allow the fileds from table other than BSEG , BKPF.
Thanks
Jhanvi

hi Jhanvi,
Execute the FBL5N and create your own Layout and from there you select the fields of Dunning and Accounting Clerk and then save that Layout.
If the above fields are not available in that option then go to Tcode O7R3 it is for the Special Fields of finding and sorting DATA.
Click on New Entries and enter the Table name and select the field from the F4 slection and then save it.
Once again go to Tcode Fbl5n and select your layout and now you can see that fields added to that.
Hope this will solve your problem

Dunning by dunning procedure and collection strategy

Hi All,
Have some questions around dunning.
1. Can dunning by dunning procedure and collection strategy coexist in the same company code - if this cannot be achieved by config can it be achieved by development - can we have something like account determination IDs of X to use dunning procedure, account determination IDs of Y to use collection strategy?
2. If the answer to 1. is no, can one company code use dunning procedure and another company code use collection strategy?
3. What is SAP's (or any other proven) recommended approach to migrate a production system utilising dunning by dunning procedure to dunning by collection strategy?
Cheers.

Have a look
SAP-ISU will be used to carry out initial collection activities. Initial 1 or 2 reminder letters (based on the customer type, Live or Closed) will generated from SAP-ISU. Thereafter, the account will be managed in Tallyman. Thus, all the subsequent activities, such as sending further reminder letters, sending debt to collection agencies, carry out warrant activities and taking customers to court will be carried out in Tallyman system. During the time, the account is in Tallyman, no dunning activities will be carried out in SAP.
There will be daily interfaces from SAP-ISU to Tallyman to update Tallyman of Accounts that have passed a certain dunning level in SAP-ISU and any changes to the account that are currently being managed in Tallyman. Similarly there will be interfaces from Tallyman to SAP to update SAP of Accounts, that have been marked for write off in Tallyman. Fees and Charges that have been applied in Tallyman, for example court fees, warrant fees etc.

Dunning Key and minimum amount per dunning level

Dear Friends,
Can any one please explain the dunnig key functions?
While defining the minimum amout their is two terms one is open item and another one is total amount.
The definintion of total amount is all the items in an account means the items which are paid also? because I am confuse to understand the differece between total amount and open items. Please expain the both the terms.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Mahendra Dev

Dear Rajeev,
Lots of thanks for your reply.
as per my understanding on behalf of your explanation.
Total Open item can be total of item in grace period and also the item which is in dunning level
and the total item only the total of item which is in dunning level.
I am in the mid of chapter of Minimum amount per dunning level.
and want to clear the term the relation between the total amount and the total open items be greater than a minimum percentage.
Please confirm. Lots of thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahendra Dev

Dunning - Interest and Fee per Letter

I have set up interest and fee per letter in the Dunning Terms and when I run the Dunning Wizard I see these amounts for each of the Business Partners Invoices. Where I am having an issue is getting these values to be displayed in the PLD, are these variable fields - if so what is the variable number, if they are database fields - then which table and column are they?
Thanks,
Richard

Found the template, it was at level 3 that there is interest calculated. Why wasn't it included for all dunning levels?
