The T-code of creating dunning procedure

Could anyone please tell me the T-code of creating the dunning procedure.Thanks in advance

CONFIGURATION PATH:
Financial Accounting -> Account Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Dunning -> Dunning Procedure -> Define Dunning Procedures OR Transaction Path:
Accounting/Financial Accounting/Accounts Payable/Periodic Processing/Dunning/Environment/Change
Configuration
TRANSACTION CODE: FBMP
Basically there are three steps in this transaction:
1) Maintain dunning procedure
2) Maintain dunning levels
3) Maintain dunning texts
transaction from SAP:
- Before defining several dunning procedures and forms, you should check whether you can fulfill
all your requirements using one dunning procedure and one form.
- You should select Always dunn. notice? for
the last dunning level so that items at this level are not skipped.
- You can store the header and footer texts separately
for your dunning notices. If your letter paper already contains these specifications, you can remove the windows for these
texts in the form you define using SAPscript.

How can the dunning letter shows O/S amt and corresponding aging bucket?

Hi,
I am going to implement the dunning letter setup in R12. Our user request to have the dunnng letter layout which should show all regular dunning details but also the aging info of the outstanding invoices, i.e. which aging bucket the outstanding amount will be shown. Anybody have idea and help? Thanks a lot.
Edmond

Thank you Nagarajan. I have a dunning letter created in Crystal Reports for our client. It is fairly limited in scope, it just has the customer name and address, invoice numbers and dates, amounts due and the text they wanted in it.
I can import it into B1 9.0 and set it as the default for Dunning Letter #1 and it runs, but unlike other formats where there is a DocEntry and/or ObjectID and a ?DocKey@ or ?ObjectId@ parameter, how do I limit the report to just one customer? Typical document layouts run for the document that's on the screen. In the dunning process, the report runs once for every customer when the Dunning Letter Method is set to "One Letter per BP". I have to limit the report to one customer at a time. Right now, each dunning letter based on the Crystal report is identical and it contains all the data for every customer.
So, does anyone have any ideas for what selection criteria needs to be included in the Crystal report to have it select just one customer from the dunning wizard tables? Thanks.
Michael
Edit: I created a ?WizardID@ parameter and a ?CardCode@ parameter to limit the report to a single dunning wizard event and a single customer. While it works fine in Crystal itself, it doesn't work in B1 at all. I had thought that by limiting the report in this way, it would only create dunning letters for a single customer.

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

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 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,

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.

Exclude Customers from the Dunning process

Hello SAP gurus,
i have a small issue here.
We are putting the parameteres for the Dunning notices to be processes in Tcode F150 as follows,
Dunning Company code : 1000
Customer : NO*
In additional log
customers to be Excluded - N865866 and 12566222
When we run the dunning procedure, and check the spool in SP02, the dunning notices is being generated for both the above mentioned customers although in the additional log we have specifically excluded the two so as to avoid the printing of the dunning notices.
Can any one please suggest as to what should be done so that the dunnning notice is not generated for these 2 customers
looking forward for a positive riposte.
Warm Regards
Manish

Hi Manish,
You can block a customer for dunning in Customer Master Data using TCode FD02. Go to the correspondance tab and insert a dunning block reason for blocking this customer from dunning.

Sanjay

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

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.

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

Dunning procedure as a background job

Hello to you all,
Does any one know how can I define running all of the dunning procedure (define the parameters + schedule + dunning printout) as a daily background job.
Where can I find info about it?
Thanks,
Amir

Hello,
Dunning is not for such purpose. You cannot daily dun the customer, he will become mad
At least there must be a gap of 7 days you should maintain.
There is no such daily scheduling of dunning is available unlike automatic payment program, where you can schedule through F110S

Problems in Assigning PDF form in dunning procedure

Hi Gurus,
I have created a z adobe form for dunning letter and would like to assign it to the dunning procedure in Tcode F150.
I have gone through the path on SPRO.. Financial Accounting (New)->Accounts receivable and payable->Business Transactions->Dunning->printout->Assign Dunning forms..
In here it shows standard SAPscripts and I would like to change them and put the adobe forms on different dunning level..But now this is greyed out and does not allow me to add my own forms .
Does anybody have an idea on why this is the case??

Hi Dethee,
I found SAP Note 774207 - New PDF forms in FI. It is not brand-new (valid since 12.05.2006) but it mentions that you first have to change the function module to FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF (Transaction FIBF) for the SAP Publish&Subscribe Business Transaction Event 00001720 FI-FI.
In Transaction FIBF, Settings -> P/S modules -> for a customer, I found
00001720 SEDUNN SE FI-FI SE_DUNN_LOOP
You could try to set FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF instead of SE_DUNN_LOOP.
At least, the modules have the same interface. But honestly, I have no idea if it will help you to get along.
In the Note, you'll find a small test program.
Regards
Clemens
