Dunning Procedure

I have two companies one is parent company & another sister company. Both companies have same vendors & customers. Can I assign dunning procedure for both companies? please help

Hi,
You can combine different company codes into one dunning process as per SAP documentation available.
Its mentioned clearly as:
You can use cross-company code dunning to combine overdue items from several different company codes in one dunning run. The overdue items for business partners who exist in several company codes are dunned with a single dunning notice. This eliminates the need to send a customer a separate dunning notice for each company code.
For this requirement is:
If you wish to dun several company codes at once, you must assign the relevant company codes to a common dunning (or leading) company code. The dunning procedure assigned to the business partner in the dunning company code is used. The dunning frequency and dunning blocks are checked individually, not just in the dunning company code.

Inform Customers about debts due without a dunning procedure

Hi,
I am looking for a way to inform my customers for due futures payments without starting a dunning procedure or to programm a report.
For example:
A payment is due within 60 days and after 30 days I would like to send those customers a kindly reminder.
Regards
JP

You need to create a custom program based leveraging from the standard dunning program.
Or modify the statement account correspondence to include a statement that captures the amount falling due in 30 days.

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

Through Programaticaly How To change Dunning Procedure and Dunning level

I am having the requirement to change the dunning procedure and dunning level programatically.
Is there any Function module or BAPI or sample code where I can change the dunning procedure and push the dunning level to
30(No matter at what level but it has to push to 30).

Try these function modules available through T.code FQEVENTS
FKK_SAMPLE_0351 or FKK_SAMPLE_0307 or FKK_SAMPLE_0744 or FKK_SAMPLE_0304
Or try creating one procedure to exclusively handle a particular level /dunning activity only and replace the procedure in the master data
Hope it offers some help

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

Suspend Dunning lock and dunning procedures

Event 0303 has this description: The function module called up at Event 0303 provides the option of executing further checks for an open item, which may mean suspending dunning or changing the dunning procedure.
Tried to use it but it did not work. I saw the program lSAP is checking first if a contract account has a dunning lock. If there is, it generates an the message and no longer executes the remaining part of the FORM..ENDFORM and therefore doesn't call event 0303.
If a contract account has an active dunning lock reason, is there a way to trigger dunning or suspend it?

Sorry for the confusion. I was actually looking for a way to override/bypass dunning lock.
Example: dunning should run on the account depending on status of the account and dunning lock.
Event 301 does the initial check if the account has a dunning lock and if it has, it stops dunning process on the account. Was wondering if there is a way to override this.

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 procedure and interest calculation

Hi All,
usually in dunning procedure, the interest is calculated on over due items based on the period from Last Dunning date to run date.
If the customer is never dunned before and this MDAT is never populated, how will the program generally calculate interest..?
Can somebody explain me on how it works..?
thankx,
Neha

Hi All,
Thanks for all answers.
When I checked table MHND, the dunning interest is calculated in such a way that it doesn't consider the previous dunned date.
Meaning :
Dunning ran on 12-01-09 interest calculated is 500.00 ( 2 docuemnst considerded from bsid as seen from table MHND )
Dunning ran on 15-01.09 interest calculated is 500.00 ( same as above)
Ideally for Dunning ran on 15-01.09 , it should not calculate interest since on 12th it is done..!!
Now queries:
1. Where can i see these interest calculated during dunning run ( any report ? ) other than table..?
2. When I see the dunning run, looks like user has made some mistakes, It shows as
           Parameters have been entered
           Dunning run carried out, job was deleted
          Dunn. printing carried out, job was deleted
3. when I try to run the single dunn. notice, and see sample print out it gives message as
Account D 0004298846 is blocked by dunning run 20090319 MDUN1
why is it so and how to resolve..?
thanks,

Dunning Procedure (FBMP) - Total Due Items from Dunning Level

Hi,
In Dunning Procedure (FBMP), there is a field called "Total Due Items from Dunning Level" ...
Questions: What does this field mean?
Besides, if possible, kindly explain the following:
1) Min.days in arrears (acct):
Days in arrears which at least one item in this account must have for a dunning notice to be created. These minimum days in arrears have no influence on calculating the days overdue.
If I put 50, then does this mean that system won't generate dunning notice, although in the dunning level 1: 15, dunning level 2: 30, and dunning level 3: 45?
Thanks.

hi,
The dunning intervals are usually meant for two purposes, one to send notices at appropriate intervals, to calculate interest on arrears accordingly for delay in payment. The dunning days say 45 will not be calculated from the 15th day but from the original date of document posting. Say if you have an open item on 01.01.2008 and the dunning procedure calls for intervals 15.30.45 etc. first dunning is due on 16.05.2008 and second dunning 01.06.2008 third dunning due on 16.06.2008.
Some other useful info. whenever a dunning run is complete the vendor master and the line items gets updated automatically. So if you have to run dunning again for the one already run say, you want to generate the dunning notice of the 2nd dunning then you have to delete these details from the base records and schedule dunning once again. Otherwise you obviously will generate notice of the last dunning run. Also if you are scheduling dunning for group of vendors then all vendors should have the same dunning levels, otherwise the output will be of the latest dunning level. But the master records and line items gets updated correctly. Example you are dunning for two vendors one has got the second level due and other has got 3rd level due but the output for the two will be the output of 3rd level . But the vendor master and line items gets updated as 2 and 3 accordingly. This will happen if and only the vendors fall in the same dunning procedure.
clarify if you have still doubts,
regards

Dunning procedure in configuration:Define Parametrize External Transactions

Hi There,
We can assign a Dunning Procedure in configuration at "Define and Parametrize External Transactions".
Path:
Financial Accounting->Contract Accounts Receivables and Payables->Basic Functions-> Posting and Documents->Document->Maintain Document Assignments-> Maintain Transactions for Non-Ind. Contract Accounts Receivables and Payables->Define and Parametrize External Transactions.
For every unique combination of Application Area, Company Code, Division, Main and Sub Transaction:
When you Add or Select an External Main and Sub transaction, on the Line Item Parameters you can add among other things - a Dunning Procedure and Dunning Lock reason. We cannot assign a Dunning Grouping here though.
I have been trying to figure out what the use is of assigning the Dunning procedure here.
1)In what business processes and when/where is this used? What circumstances is Dunning Procedure assigned at Transaction (Main and Sub) level?
2)Does this configuration insert the dunning procedure at the Item level? i.e all items created by this configuration (main and sub transaction) are configured with this Dunning Procedure or Dunning Lock Reason?
3)What advantages does it provide over assigning the dunning procedure to the Contract Account or Contract Object?
Thank you.

Hi,
1)In what business processes and when/where is this used? What circumstances is Dunning Procedure assigned at Transaction (Main and Sub) level?
Everytime a document item with this combintaion of transaction is created. It is a way to default some attributes when documents are posted. This dunning procedure has priority over the one filled in the contract account.
2)Does this configuration insert the dunning procedure at the Item level? i.e all items created by this configuration (main and sub transaction) are configured with this Dunning Procedure or Dunning Lock Reason?
Yes, this level has the highest priority (the specific level over the general level), and yes this configuration insert the dunning procedure at the item level
3)What advantages does it provide over assigning the dunning procedure to the Contract Account or Contract Object?
Well, it depends what do you want to get. Sometimes specific postings done in the contract account are required to be dunned using a different dunning procedure than the one filled in the contract account.The dunning procedure filled in the contract account is used by dafault to dunn all the contract account postings, but the postings with its own dunning procedure.

Error while saving Dunning Procedure

Hello All,
After the dunning run, the list was empty. Upon scrutiny, it was found that the field "Dunning Procedure" in customer master data was not populated. After entering the appropriate procedure, i tried to save the settings. That's when i got the error "No dunning settings have been maintained for Company Code XXXX".
The dunning procedure is defined in SPRO.
Regards,
Anu

Hello,
Dunning procedure is defined at client level.
It must have been assigned and configured accordingly to your company code.
You must assign the dunning procedure for company code.
Assign relevant forms.
Unless you do this this dunning procedure is no meaning for your company code in which your customer resides.

Ravi

Business partner not getting dunned though dunning procedure is attached

Hi All,
We have Business partner for which dunning procedure is attached , there is no dunning lock, i have checked the dunning procedure having levels.
is there link between dunning and payment method and Lock present in Incoming Payment tab in Business Partner master data?
I would like to know where i can check for business partner last dunned? i checked in CAA3 but could not find.
Thanks and Regards
Reena

Hi,
Incoming payment method option can be found at Contract Account level. There in the payments tab, you can find the Incoming payment method option.
Also, for getting the items for dunning, check directly at respective document level, if the incoming payment method is set. If there is no incoming payment method set, then it should allow the items for dunning.
Generally for incoming payment method, the payment is processed on the due date, so in most cases, you will see a lock applied for preventing the item to be considered before the due date. (Prevent Early Payment).
The payment method has the relation with the dunning. As the CA is registered for incoming payment method, it is expected that the payment would be received on a timely basis on or before the due dates, so these items are not considered for Dunning purpose.
FPM3 is the transaction that shows the dunning history for that account.
Manually run FPVA for dunning proposal if the items are elligible for dunning and check in FPM3 for the entry. It the print date for the entries found is blank, run FPVB for Dunning Activity.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards,
Rajesh Popat
