Dunning by Collection Strategy Benefits

When migrating a Production System utilizing Dunning by Procedure to the Dunning by Collection Strategy, what are the benefits of choosing the Dunning by Collection Strategy versus continuing with the Dunning by Procedure?
Is the Dunning by Collection Strategy all inclusive of the features within Dunning by Procedure and it includes other, added benefits or do you lose some functionality while gaining other benefits added with this new feature please?

James:
Here is a [document|https://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700001227122009E] which might answer some of your questions.
In short form, collections strategy allows for usage of more flexible criteria in determining the right action at the right time.  When done correctly, it should be more easily maintainable and more usable by business and business analysts than using dunning procedure.
Benefits would be reduced data maintenance due to not changing dunning procedure whenever customer master data changes -which is usual part of dunning procedure solution.  Also, getting away from a linear, defined beginning and end point, prcess and moving to a dynamic, approach which can be started or ended at any point based on rules.
Other features only available with collections strategy: capacity balancing; champion challenger, business rules framework.

bill.

  • Dunning by collection strategy

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to know where we can make this choice for a company code to have either Dunning by Dunning Procedure or Dunning by collection strategy.
    Thanks for your attention

    Hi,
    If the debt collection process is too complex, and huge coding needs to be done to map the business process, then you can go for dunning by collections strategy.
    If you want to use dunning by collections strategy, you need to implement BRF (Business Rule Framework) in FI-CA.Thru BRF, you can set up your own collections process as per your requirment with minimal coding.It is a sort of flexible dunning.
    Thanks,

  • FI-CA dunning by collection strategy

    Hi Experts,
    I need to implement dunning by collection strategy, but there are a few things that dont know yet and I need help for do this.
    1. If i want to use dunning by collection strategy, I need to use BRF, but its necesary use Collection Management (I´m not using industries solutions)?
    2. The dunning run (FPVA & FPVB) will call BRF if field "STRAT" is filled in contracts accounts. What "event" has to be activated for this (besides 315)?
    If anyone can give me any tips for this, i will be grateful.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jorge

    Hi Rakesh.
    1- Its not necesary to use Collection magament to work with Dunning by collection strategy (If you use only FICAX).
    2- Event 315 will call BRF Event, and with that you will be able to use dunning by collection.
    Hope this help you.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Collection strategy not picking up BP

    Hi,
    I have set up the business partner and linked it to the FI customer.  This customer has open items to the value of u20AC2.1 million.  I also set up the collection strategy and set it up to pick up amount to be collected of >u20AC2000.
    However when i try to simulate the collection stragey i get the following message - no open items found (UDM_BUPA_TRANS_DATA150).  as a result nothing is appearing in the worklists.
    can anyone help with this?
    Thanks
    Eoin

    Hi ,
    In addiiton to wat ravi has mentioned  check the date onw hcih worklist is being created and whether it satisfies the collection sstartegy , this you can check it by using simulation of the collection strategy before the creation of worklist .

  • Collection strategy: one customer in multiple company codes

    Hi,
    we look into CM at the moment and have the following requirement:
    There is one customer who has business with different companies (company codes).
    the collection for these kind of customer should be based on the customer across all companies and not within each.
    If customer ZZZ is in company code 1000, 2000 and 3000 and it would be necessary to have only one collection specialist on this customer across all companies.
    How would you do this?
    Thanks  + Regards
    Hein

    Hi,
    You can create a new collection segment containing all the required company codes and assign that segment to the customer profile to be used for this customer.  This would enable you to assign the same specialist and same collection strategy.  In your process receivables you will get the consolidated data for this customer.  However when you process it, you will get individual detailed receivable due for individual company codes.

  • TCODE to update collection strategy on contract account

    Hi Experts,
    We have some accounts for which collection strategy was not populated at the time of move in. Now we want to update collection strategy manually. Transaction FPCCU does not allow changing collection strategy from blank to new value. I think there is some other tcode as well which allows changing collection strategy and master data group. If anyone is aware of that transaction please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Ravi,
    Try Transaction code FPCG.
    Thanks,

  • Collection Strategy in Collection Management

    Hi,
    client has a requirement to create a Collection Strategy so as to view the Collections Worklist by 90+ Days.
    I observed that for each company code there has been configured one strategy.
    The company code which has requested for this new requirement also has only existing Strategy P2100 which is configured as follows:
    Overdue Period 1: 1 To 30 Days
    Overdue Period 2: 31 To 60 Days
    Overdue Period 3:>=     61 Days.
    Now I have a few doubts in this.
    (1) In order to create the new Worklist 90+ days do I have to create a new Strategry OR is it enough if I change the existing strategy as above by adding like this:
    Overdue Period 3:61 To 90 Days.
    Overdue Period 4:         90 +Days.
    Also is it sufficient to make changes onl,y in Process Strategies? Is there any other assignments which I have to make so that this worklist is available to requisite users?
    Kindly respond at the earliest.
    Thanks and Regards
    Pradipto.

    Hello,
    Worklist is assigned to collection group, customer which are exist in that group worklist will generate on basing the strategy assigned.
    As per SAP standard you cannot create a worklist for customer with 90+ days, but only you can add collection rule in the strategy, on basing that as criteria  worklist will generate with priority as per valuation points defined.
    as per my understanding from your question please check with your business whether new criteria need to added in the collection  strategy for 90+ days  ? if so, check the valuation points for that 90+ Days & add to the existing strategy.

  • FSCM-COL: Problems with the Collection Strategy

    Hi,
    We are configuring our collection strategy and we have a collection rule that is based on the following basic rules:
    - BR00000002: Total of All Items Overdue Since n Days
    - BR00000004: Total of All Items Due within n Days
    Now, the problem is that no workist is generated for those rules
    We check the FI-AR system and the customer/business partner does have open invoices that match the conditions that we definined int UDM_STRATEGY transaction for that strategy and collection rule.
    Do you guys have any idea what could be the issue ?
    PS: We are on ECC 6.0 an package level EA-FINSERV => SAPKGPFD10
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Bruno Sousa

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    The transactional data was transfered from FI-AR with sucess. I was able to check it on table UDM_COLL_ITEM.
    The problem seems actually with those rules....
    For instance, we tried by adding the basic rule BR00000008 to our "Collection Rule" and, afterwards, by adding tou our "Collection Strategy" (on transaction code UDM_STRATEGY) and if we put the condition to catch all amounts the simulation indicates that the worklist will be generated with sucess.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best Regards,

  • IEX send dunning button in strategy tab is disabled

    Hello,
    I need to send a dunning letter trough pressing the send dunning button in the strategy tab in advanced collections collections window, but is disabled, i note i select a send email automatic work item.
    the question is, how i enabled this button???
    thanks in advanced
    Edited by: Romulo on Jun 3, 2009 4:31 PM

    On your first page, for the button you can have code:
    *<af:commandButton text="<Button_Text>" id="cb1">*
    *<af:setActionListener from="true"*
    *to="#{pageFlowScope.showDisabled}"/>*
    *</af:commandButton>*
    So when you click the above button on the first page, a pageFlowScope variable, showDisabled is set to true. You can use this variable on the disabled property on both the buttons in the two tabs of the second page as #{pageFlowScope.showDisabled}.
    As this property evaluates to true, both the buttons in the two tabs will be disabled.
    Hope it helps.

  • Collections Management (Capacity Planning): FICA Event/s?

    Hello colleagues,
    I have a requirement to apply additional criteria for Capacity Planning during dunning.
    I need to restrict the volume of Dunning Activities by Regional Structure Group (after retrieving it from the Connection Object).
    If anyone has any suggestions as to what FICA event to use, or where to find the count of proposed dunning activities after the proposal step is complete, that would really help.
    In Event 300, I do not see any structure that gives me a count of proposed Dunning Activities. However, Capacity Balancing functionality is obviously retrieving the count and applying the limits based on configuration. I hope I do not have to loop through structure FKKMAGRP for the (in progress) Dunning Run ID to get the counts?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ivor Martin

    Ivor:
    Using Dunning by Collection Strategy method, this is delivered as standard.  To do so on your own, use event 1799.  In the standard event you could see where this is being executed for the collection steps.

  • DUNNING- Contract Account and Leading Contract Account

    in table FKKAMKO we are finding that contract account (VKONTO) and leading contract account number (VKNT1) is different
    though the collection step is trigerred. further print date (MDRKD) is blank for these.  We are dunning and grouping at contract account level and we have duning item grouping enhacement at event 317
    what will be the reason behind this and how to solve it? whether its due to enhacement at 317? We tried but not able to find solution for the same.

    Hi Vinod,
    There are two settings you need to maintain for grouping in collections
    (a) SPRO->Financial Accounting (New)->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable->Organizational Units->Set Up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
    In here, you have to maintain, whether the master data grouping will happen at Contract account or contract level.
    No assignment means that open items do not participate in Collections Management
    (b) SPRO->Financial Accounting (New)->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable->Business Transactions->Dunning->Dunning by Collection Strategy->Master Data Grouping
    If you maintain these two settings , you do not to customise for grouping the items in event 317.
    Moreover, you can also check transaction FPCG, whether grouping is maintained or not  for a contract account.
    Is there any other specific reason for customization at event 317?.
    Thanks,
    Amlan

    Hi, I came back to working on "Dunning by collection strategy with BRFplus". According to your sugestions, I raised the level of components:
    SAP_BASIS Level 09
    SAP_ABA level 09
    PI_BASIS level 09
    SAP_BW level 09
    But still I have the same short dump.
    Shoudl we raise any other components? Maybe you know note, which resolve this problem?
