Error in Interest Calculation of Dunning Wizard

In our company the Local currency is USD, the system currency is CAD. I am running Dunning Wizard for a BP with two invoices past due. Both invoices are in CAD, however in the interest calculation, the interest amount is shown in USD only which does not make sense, and even when I try to change it to CAD values, it won't let me and give error msg "wrong currency".
Question:
1. What is the fix for this problem ?
2. We are in SAP B1 version 2005, SP1 patch 45. Will this problem be fixed in version 2005 latest patch (56) ? If not, will it be fixed in version 2007?
I do have a printscreen but don't know how I can upload to the thread.

Below is the answer I got from SAP support and I tested it's working. Put it here for the benefit of others who may have the same problem.
Reference: SAP Note 0000950583
Dunning Wizard displays Local Currency instead BP Currency
Symptom
When running the 'Dunning Wizard' the interest currency is always set as local currency instead of the business partners currency.
Other terms
Dunning, wizard, interest, amount, foreign, currency, local, system, LC, SC, FC, MC, display, show, present, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
Solution
Example:
Local currency: Currency A
System Currency: Currency B
BP Currency: Currency C
The currencies displayed in the Dunning Wizard Recommendation Report are defined under Administration - Definitions - Business partners - Define Dunning Terms.
Interest amount - The interest amount calculated for the invoice. The calculation is done in accordance with the defined dunning term assigned to the customer (by the remaining amount or the amount in the original document).
Use Original Exchange Rate from Invoice: The basis for interest calculation is the local currency this will display the local currency name on the Recommendation Report Dunning Wizard.
Use Current Exchange Rate: The basis for interest calculation will be in foreign currency this will display the foreign currency name on the Recommendation Report Dunning Wizard.
In addition, the interest and total sum displayed in the Dunning Wizard report will be in local currency, and all other values in foreign currency.
To display the interest amount in foreign currency on Dunning Wizard select "Use Current Exchange Rate" on "Define Dunning Terms" this will display the foreign currency name on the Recommendation Report Dunning Wizard.

Interest calculation in Dunning Wizard

Hi All,
I have a question with regard to the calculation of Interest amount via Dunning wizard.
Let us say I have a dunning term that issues Dunning Letter 1, 30 days past the due date. Dunning Letter 2 is issued 30 days past the dunning letter 1. The interest to be charged is 10% per anum.
Let us say I have an invoice of $1000. 30 days past the due date when I run the dunning wizard, it would show an interest of 8.33. As SAP does not post the interest amount automatically in the form of a journal entry, we manually pass this journal entry for receivables of $8.33.
Next time, when I run the dunning wizard after 30 days of running the first dunning wizard, I will see that the date of last dunning run is updated. When I check the Interest amount, it will show me 16.67. This interest amount is a cumulative i.e 8.33 (last dunning run) and 8.33 of this run.
Now, if we pass a journal entry for 16.67, it will be wrong as I have already passed a previous journal entry for 8.33. Is there a way we can make the system count the interest days from the last dunning run to give me the incremental interest amount of $8.33. Currently the interest days are calculated from the due date of the invoice.
Is there a UDF that can be created in the dunning wizard and can have a formatted search assigned to it?
Thank you very much for your input.
Regards,
Payal

Hi Payal,
Please check the following information from the Dunning documentation and see if it is of any help regarding your issue :
The interest will be calculated as follows:
Open Sum * Annual Interest Rate * Number of Days Overdue / (Number of days in Year * 100)
o Open Sum u2013 This value will be calculated according to the calculation method defined in the previous window (Calculate Interest Value on Remaining Sum or Calculate Interest Value on Original Sum).
o Annual Interest Rate u2013 This value is taken from the Annual Interest Rate field in the Define Dunning Terms window.
o Days Overdue u2013 The number of days that passed from date of payment as defined in the Invoice to the day of running the Dunning Wizard (see explanation on the Dunning Wizard below).
If a month passed since the defined day of payment, and a value was entered into the field Number of Days in Month (for example 30 days), this value will be taken into account as follows:
1. If the number of days in the past month was more or
less than the number of days defined in Number of
Days in Month field (for example if 31 or 29 days have
passed and 30 days were defined for a month), then the
value defined for calculation of interest will be used (in
the example above, the value will be calculated
according to 30 days and not 29 days).
2. If the number of days in the past month is less than the
number of days defined in the Number of Days in Month
field (for example if 29 days passed and 30 days were
defined for a month), the value defined for calculation of
interest will be used (in the example above, the value
will be calculated according to 30 days and not
according to 29 days).
3. If a month has not yet passed from the day of payment
and the number of days overdue is less than the
SAP Business One Dunning System in Release 2004 A
January 2005 Page 11 of 29
number of days defined for that month (for example 14
days), the calculation will be done according to the
number of days overdue (14 days), and not number of
days in a month.
Check if this helps.

Posting interest calculated in Dunning run

Hi SAP Guru's,
I have set up item interest calculation and dunning run.
When I make a dunning run, I can see the interest being calculated but it is not getting posted automatically.
Also the interest calculated during dunning is not getting reflected in the dunning letter.
Can you please help me with posting of interest from dunning run.
Thanks in advance
Br.,
Neeraj

Dear Neeraj,
Interest amounts are not posted in FI standard dunning. The interest
amount is calculated and displayed in the list/ in the pintout,
but it is not posted - so there are no new documents that you can
see in FBL5N.
Please read for Your info notes 156985 and 82995.
I hope this helps You.

Interest Calculation in Dunning & Print Correspondence...

Dear Experts...
The below settings are in place.
1) Interest is calculated along with dunning level 2. Config is done for the same.
2) Ther are 2 customized Zforms available for DL2 notice letter and interest invoice.
3) Correspondence Type 0003 & 0007 are available for dunning & interest notification respectively.
Requirement:
Once DL2 is carried out, the interest is also posted in contract account , but correspondence DOES NOT print the Interest invoice through T Code: fpcopara, but the dunning letter for DL2 is printed in fpcopara.
May I know any function module to be attached in either Dunning activity or Correspondence so that the interest notification is also printed simaltaneously after dunning notice is printed.
Also mention any other config setting to be maintained in both Dunning & Correspondence.
Note: No separate Interest Run(T Code: FPINTM1) is carried out. Interest Key is assigned in dunning itself.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
B.Kartthik.

Hi,
Maybe the easiest way would be to adapt your dunning form to print as a second page the interest notice? I've already done this for the interest over installment plans as we need them to be printed as an invoice (With official document number). In FKKMAKO you have the interest document number (Field MIBEL) that you can use during the printing to trigger the second page.
I don't know any specific activity to generate the interest notice during dunning, but you can create it by creating a new function module using sample FKK_FILL_SAMPLE_0350 that will call the interest notice trigger event (FKK_SAMPLE_0713) to create a second correspondence container during dunning. If you create the correspondence container like this it will be then normally printed with FPCOPARA.

Interest calculation in Dunning--urgent

Hi guys,
Can somebody tell me how to select an option for calculating interest of 5% after the first dunning level in dunning. I have already entered 5% interest in the box under the the dunning level 2 screen. But, when I do a dunning run, I don't see any text saying, the interest would be calculated in the first dunning letter. I can see the interest calculation script(saying tht the interest wud be calculated in the next letter i.e; 3rd letter) in the second letter. Also on the thrid letter it is showing that the interest calculated is 0.00% instead of 5%. Can somebody let me know how to shift the interest calculation script on the first dunning letter and the interest calculated in the 2nd letter should be 5%.
I also have another issue of printing the letters. I mean when I scheduling a dunning run, the system is not printing the letters automatically. I have selected my printer as LP01(which is just next to me and always turned on). Everytime I have to print manually after the dunning run is complete. It shows me the message that "Printing is complete". But I have no letters printed automatically through the dunning program.
PLs pls pls help me and i would award points.
Thank you
SONY

Dunning interest calculation

Hi All,
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..? In std SAP, is this interest
calculated and shown only in the dunning letter ..? Does it have any other financial impact on outstanding..?
2. 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,
Neha

can some one provide some advice on this..?
thanks,

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

Laurynas Prikockis

Hi,
thanks, this option im trying to implement. But something is not going right.
ive changed the FM from one to other and tryed to use BTE 1720, regarding BTE 1040 ive got some problems since i didnt find the exact place where to put it.
the second issue was that after changing one FM like FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE into FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF we had to maintain smart form. I did also this step, but running f150 the program doesnt start it. It shows that print is completed and thats all.

Dunning wizard print layout

hi there
i am interested in the dunning wizard to modify it in order to bring me the results from the OCQG table
to be more specific, i have modified the Dunning All printout but i cannot bring the property name of the customer that exists in the Properties tab(it is checked)
do you have any idea how can i bring this data to the prinout?
thanks in advance
Vasilis

Hi Vasilis,
Property tab info is too hard to be available to PLD. The link is too weak because there are 64 individual fields to represent each property.

Dunning Wizard and Interest

Hi everyone,
I have the automated dunning wizard how to guide and things seem to work fine and I get the process.
Problem is... I don't see anything after I run the wizard. No accounts receivable entry, nothing in incoming payments, nothing. It shows in history but that's pretty useless if you want to receive the interest.
Is this dunning wizard system just an escalating scare tactic? Not sure why it isn't actually adding any interest.
Also to note, does this have anything to do with the payment terms Interest % on Receivables? This field seems to do nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, no theoretical answers, hopefully someone has actually been using this process.
Thank you!
Mike

Dunning Wizard error message

Dear All,
I have an error message with the Dunning Wizard, and cannot print any of the Dunning Letters. The error message is: 'Invalid variable number (RPT -6300) (Field F_136) Variable '452' I have already deleted this field from the layouts, but it didn't help. I have switched back the default layout forms to the predefinied 'System' types, but the error message is still there. Do you have any idea on that issue?
Thank you, Balazs

If you never deleted any fields from system PLD when you edited your PLD, it might be application error.
Thanks,

Dunning Wizard interest in BP currency

SAP 2007A.
Local currency is CAD.
Some customer's currency is USD.
Is there a when to run the dunning wizard and have SAP calculate the interest in the BP currency instead of the local currency?
In the Dunning Terms Setup window there are check boxes to select b/w original exchange rate of the invoice and exchange rate of the wizard run. So it makes sense that SAP B1 should be able to calculate the interes in the BP currency.
Also, tabla DWZ2 has field IntrstCurr (Interest currency) , which would indicate that the table is prepared to store an interest amount in a currency other than the local.

In order to calculate dunning interest in the BP currency, the dunning term has to be set up to use "Current Exchange Rate"

Dunning (Want to add interest calculation on unpaid invoices (open items)

We have a requirement in dunning program. we would like to add interest calculation on unpaid invoices (open items) to our dunning letters. This interest should be not posted, but calculated only for information purposes. At this moment we can calculate interest only on cleared items.
anyone has any idea about this ? what possibilities are there in SAP for this requirement?
Thanks,
Naveen

Hello Vimal ,
I want to understand we have setting in Dunning FBMP and OB42. if i will set the interest in OB42 and Select the interest indicator in FBMP.! the interest will be calculated for open items and no posting will be done in customer A/c?
Will you please elobrate about the setting that will be required to do the setting as per the requirement.
Thanks,
Naveen
