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

    What are All differences between a function and a procedure.This is basic procedural programming fundamentals that you should learn at school.
    A function is a procedure that returns a value (of the type defined in the function declaration) using the RETURN statement at the terminal point of the processing code.
    That's the only difference.
    In terms of SQL, procedures cannot be used within SQL and functions can, but only if the function does not contain any OUT or IN OUT parameters and the return type is of a supported SQL type.

  • What is difference between bus.Area and plant

    dear experts, 
                what is difference between bus.Area and plant?
    thanks
    Rajakarthik.

    Hi
    Plant and Business Area are not the same.
    Business Areas are configured in FI module as per the Product lines or geographical operations basis.
    Where as The plants created in the logistics (General) module are assigned to the company code. That means all transactions taking place in the plants are posted to the attached company code in SAP FI.
    You can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code reporting.
    The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area. When you use the R/3 System to automatically draw up accounts for business areas, you can assign only one business area to a combination of plant and division. Plants and divisions can be assigned and combined in several different ways.

  • Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

    Hi Frnds,
    Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

    Hi
    Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
    Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
    One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
    Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

  • Difference between  business area and profit center

    hi all
    could you please tell me about difference between business area and
    profitcenter.
    thanks,
    regards,
    chennuri.

    HI
    Read below
    Profit Center - The profit center view shows the various
    internal areas of responsibilities. Objects such as cost
    centers, materials, etc can be used for profit center
    analysis. Profit center can be used to determine the
    revenues, costs, and profitability for specfic areas of
    responsibility.
    Business Area - Business area forms an important part of
    external reporting. Analysis of various segments, product
    divisions, regions etc is possible using business areas.
    Business Area: This is optional
    This can be used cross compane codes
    This is for Internal Purpose
    It is not Legal Entity like Co Code
    The transation entered in Business are, Debit total will
    not tally with credit total
    Since it is used for segment wise or area wise or line wise
    this is used for internal report purpose only .
    Balance Shhet and P & L stataments can be drawn on segment
    wise
    Profit Centre: Generally in terms of SAP or Finance the
    meaning of Profit centre is to know the profitabilty.
    In same manner , The managers  wants to know the ROI from
    their investments, obviously we nned to use the tool.
    This ROI may be geographically or area wise or division
    wise. P.C provided us profitablity of the particular area
    for internal purpose ( Only for Internal )
    Business Area is an optional entry.Whenever company wants
    financial statements businessarea wise we can maintain
    BAs.And also we can maintain BA as Segment Wise,Product
    Wise,Geographical Location wise.
    Profit center is used to know the profits of companies.PC
    is also used for to know the profits as aProduct
    wise,Segment wise,geographical location wise.If anything
    wrong inthis answer plz correct me..
    Hope this helps
    Good Luck

  • Difference between business area and costcenter

    Hi All,
    Could u pls let me know the differences between Business Area and Cost Center.
    Awaiting ur valuable responses.
    Thanks & Regards
    Chennuri

    Hi,
    i am giving a realtime information on business areas and cost centers.
    For our company we have 25 branches. in sap we treat all of our branches as a seperate business area. the reason why we maintain business area. at the month end or year end financial statemensts are generated on company code basis and business area base. so we consider branches as a business area.
    Cost center is like a cost object.
    Hope this is clear,

  • Difference between business area and sales area

    Hi
    I am swetha i have one doubt
    1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
    2)  what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
    3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.
    Regards
    Swetha

    Hii..
    Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
    A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
    There are 2 options here now -
    1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
    or
    2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
    The advantages of using the second option is:
    1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
    2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
    3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
    The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business
    Areas...
    Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
    Hope this clears.

  • Difference between work area and internal tables.

    Hi  I wanna know the difference between work area and internal tables.
    what happend if i give with out header line in internal table.
    also how to assosiate work area to internal table in that scenario.

    Hi Balaji..
    The internal table is an ABAP runtime object which has two parts the Body and the header.
    Whereas a work area cannot have a body.. It is mere a field or group of fields which can hold values at runtime..
    In the SAP higher versions mySAP ERP, the use of tables with header line is made obsolete.. But there is absolutely no problem with the same..
    Just think that when you define an internal table with occurs or with header line statement, the system automatically creates a workarea with this table, using which you can access the contents in the bosy of tyhe table.. You can read a record from the table body to this header or add a record in the header to the internal table body..
    When you work with a table ITAB without a header line, you can not use statements like READ TABLE, APPEND, INSERT etc without giving an explicit work area..
    Suppose i have an internal table like:
    DATA : itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t001.
    This table will not have a header with it.
    If you will use APPEND itab. The compilor will give error.
    Here i will create a work area with same structure of the table.
    DATA : e_wa TYPE t001.
    Now i will write:
    APPEND e_wa TO itab.
    READ TABLE itab INTO e_wa WITH KEY xxxxxx
    LOOP AT itab INTO e_wa...           etc..
    In a better approach we use Field symbols with such tables, instead of structures
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_itab> TYPE t001.
    So,
    LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab>
    READ TABLE itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab> etc.. However we can not use field symbols in few cases..
    I hope this will help you..
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • Difference Between Controllin area and Credit Control area

    hi.
    can u pls tell  me the difference  Controllin area and Credit Control area....?
    is there any FM is available for CreditControlAreaGetList........?
    regards
    Guru

    Hi Bojja,
    Controlling Area:
    Controlling provides you with information for management decision-making. It facilitates coordination, monitoring and optimization of all processes in an organization. This involves recording both the consumption of production factors and the services provided by an organization.
    As well as documenting actual events, the main task of controlling is planning. You can determine variances by comparing actual data with plan data. These variance calculations enable you to control business flows.
    Income statements such as, contribution margin accounting, are used to control the cost efficiency of individual areas of an organization, as well as the entire organization.
    CCA(Credit Control Area)
    An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored.
    This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control information for each customer.
    Thanks,

  • What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    hi nagaraju
    sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
    sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
    SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
    SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
    Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
    Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
    id Name
    198 XYZ
    475 ABC
    545 PQR.
    loop at itab where id > 300.
    write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
    endloop.
    My output will be :
    475 ABC 2 1
    545 PQR 3 2
    Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
    sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
    So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

  • Def of dunning area and valuation area

    hi,
    pls tell me the exact defintions of dunning area and valuation area,

    Dunning areas are used if several organizational units are responsible for carrying out dunning within one company code. These organizational units are referred to as dunning areas. The dunning area can correspond, for example, to a profit center, a distribution channel, a sales organization or a business area.
    This is a combination betwwen SD and FI
    Organizational level at which the material is valuated. A valuation area can be one of the following:
    Plant
    All plants belonging to a company code, in which case the valuation area is the company code
    This is used in MM and can be used to assign in MM G/L accounts to a valuation area.
    It possible that valuation area is used on other places to with a compleet differenrt functionality
