Is it possible to set dunning level of cleared documents?

We'd like to use dunning to report on 30, 60 and 90 days in arrears. It's easy to turn it on going forward. However, we'd like to process all our cleared items (BSAD) and set the dunning level on them as well if that's possible.
Has anyone ever done this before? Any suggestions on where to look or how to do this?

Thanks for the quick answers... That's too bad there isn't anything out of the box to do it.
I'm going to investigate the program RFFMINTCALC which calculates dunning interest on cleared items. I'm hoping it will be easy to modify to make it calculate the dunning level and update bsad.

Change dunning level in credits

Hello @ll,
a dunning proposal contain besides 3 invoices also a credit for the dunned customer.
This credit contains dunning level 1 and I want to change it to 0 by double-clicking on the line in the output-list of the dunning proposal. But when I change it to 0 this change won't be took over in the output-list. What could be the reason?
If I change the dunning-level of an invoice than this change will be took over in the
output-list. But this don't work for credits.
Thanks for any help!

Do these invoices also have dunning level 1?
I think the problem can be cause by the last dunning date which is after the dunning level in the document.....

- possible causes
In the Customizing settings for dunning (company code data), 'Dunn. by dunning level' is selected and for the output of the dunning notices, sorting in descending order according to dunning level is set (Sort field -> Dunning notice header).
Or:
The highest dunning level of the dunning notice was changed by correcting the dunning levels of the items after the dunning run.
Or:
In the customer/vendor master record, a key is specified for dunning grouping.

Problem with a BAPI collecting dunning levels

Hello all experts,
I am having a problem with BAPI DebtorCreditAccount (called from a VB program), collecting dunning levels.
The BAPIs is called like follows (only the essential code is shown):
The first function (GetCustomerCurrentBalance) works fine but the second (GetCustomerHighestDunningLevel) doesnt work.
    Public Function GetCustomerCurrentBalance(ByVal strCustomerID As String) As Decimal
        Dim objARAccount, objReturn, objActualBalance As Object
        Try
            objARAccount = Me.p_sapBapi.GetSAPObject("ARAccount", "1000", Me.ConvertCustomerID(strCustomerID))
            objARAccount.GetCurrentBalance(Return:=objReturn, ActualBalance:=objActualBalance)
            Return CType(objActualBalance.Value("TOTAL_BAL"), Decimal)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return 0
        Finally
            objARAccount = Nothing : objReturn = Nothing : objActualBalance = Nothing
        End Try
    End Function
    Public Function GetCustomerHighestDunningLevel(ByVal strCustomerID As String) As Integer
        Dim objDebtorCreditAccount, objReturn, objHighestDunningLevelD As Object
        Dim objTEST1 As Object
        Try
            objDebtorCreditAccount = Me.p_sapBapi.GetSAPObject("DebtorCreditAccount", Me.ConvertCustomerID(strCustomerID), "0001")
            objDebtorCreditAccount.GetHighestDunningLevel(Return:=objReturn, HighestDunningLevelD:=objHighestDunningLevelD)
            Return CType(objHighestDunningLevelD.Value("DUNN_LEVEL"), Integer)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return 0
        Finally
            objDebtorCreditAccount = Nothing : objReturn = Nothing : objHighestDunningLevelD = Nothing
        End Try
    End Function
The error message I get is:
Message: The runtime object of type DebtorCreditAccount with the persistent key 00000480060001 could not be created in the Business Object Repository.
Message-Nr: 826
Workarea: OL
R/3 error message: Object does not exist
Please give me some input on how to proceed!
Best Regards,
Niklas

Thanks Vijaya for your fast reply. The parameters that I am giving as input are however correct.
I have investigated the problem a bit further and tried some other calls.
If I just chose to create an object of the type DebtorCreditAccount (without submitting any parameters) and then use the same method call as before (se code in topic above) I get the following error: Mandatory parameter HIGHESTDUNNINGLEVELA missing. This must mean that it knows that something is missing.
objDebtorCreditAccount = Me.p_sapBapi.GetSAPObject("DebtorCreditAccount")
objDebtorCreditAccount.GetHighestDunningLevel(Return:=objReturn, HighestDunningLevelD:=objHighestDunningLevelD)
If if add the mandatory parameter HIGHESTDUNNINGLEVELA I get the error message "The persistent key for an business object instance of type DebtorCreditAccount has not been set. Cannot invoke method GETHIGHESTDUNNINGLEVEL. This I interpret as the object has not been right instantiated. This brings me back to square one.
objDebtorCreditAccount = Me.p_sapBapi.GetSAPObject("DebtorCreditAccount")
objDebtorCreditAccount.GetHighestDunningLevel(HIGHESTDUNNINGLEVELA:="0", Return:=objReturn, HighestDunningLevelD:=objHighestDunningLevelD)
Grateful for a response!
Regards,
Niklas

Reset dunning level

Hi, is it possible to reset the dunning levels of the bp? My customer tried the dunning wizard once but now want to reset the dunning levels because the customers 've neve got the dunning letters.
Is this possible and how?
Best regards Philipp

Hi Phillip
It is not possible. You must log this on the support portal and SAP support will provide a solution. I had the same issue with a customer and the support team resolved it.
Kind regards

DeActivate - Dunning Levels - Setup Window

In running the Dunning Wizard process we have designed the Dunning Letter forms thru PLD. Our customer has activated the Dunning Levels - Setup Window thru the Main Menu Form Settings. The Dunning Wizard now does not print the forms as designated in the PLD. It seems to be picking from the three default forms associated with the Dunning Levels - Setup Window. How do you de-activate this window?

Could you check which template is set as Default for each of the levels.
There are Dunning Level 01 (template DLN0), Dunning Level 02 (template DLN2), .. so on
In the Print layout selection window make sure you have the correct template set as default.

Dunning Letter No is always 1 even though Dunning Level is 2, 3 and so on

Weird problem on SBO 2007A SP 1 PL5
Dunning Levels seem to be set appropriately:
Dunning Letter 01 - 15 days
Dunning Letter 02 - 35 days
Dunning Letter 03 - 50 days
Dunning Letter 04 - 70 days
Dunning Terms are one letter per Business Partner with Apply Letter template by Highest Level selected.
The Dunning Wizard shows business partners with level 1,2 and so on, yet the Letter No. is always 1.
How can I get the Dunning Wizard create letters for other levels other than 1?
Here is a screen shot of my Dunning Wizard Step 5 of 6. http://www.octavesolutions.com/erp/dunning.jpg
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Mike:
I have solved the problem on my system. It is not related to my comment below. Can you check to see if you have checked the box to "Apply Letter Template at Highest Level. " I hope this fixes it for you.
I am having the same problem. I have the PLD's assigned to each Dunning level and everything tested fine in demo. It printed the correct letters to the correct level.s Now it prints the same letter for every Dunning level and the letter is not one of my PLD letters. I now see the "Dunning Levels - Setup Window" has been activated . It was not there before. According to the help this is activated from the form settings on the mani menu. Do you have the Dunning Levels showing above Dunning Terms in the Admin > Setup > Busienss Partners menu activated. Just wondering if we have the same issue??

Dunning letter split per dunning level

Hello,
I have a requirement to print separate dunning letters per level for each customer (2 level procedure, 10days and 17days). The problem is that we have all levels in the dunning letter being printed out now; 0, 1, 2. We probably can live with having 1 and 2, how can we avoid the 0. I have removed the check for box 'print all items' but it still prints any item which has been due for more than a day. I would like only items with level 1 or 2 to be displayed.
I am seeing some documentation which suggests that we can do that at company code level, but not sure where.

Hi
When you have area 0 1 and 2 you can set the values from 1 and to 2 in 0 and 1.
In you Dunning letter you have to meve the texts to.
In your sap script /form you can say start on a next page for the next dunning level. When the Header and Footer is set up correct, only (sub)totals by level you can sent it out as 2 letters

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1 - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

Setting log level of an appender

I have 2 appenders in my logger.
mergeLogger.addAppender( consoleAppender );
mergeLogger.addAppender( fileAppender );
to set the log level I use logger.setLevel( XX ) but this applies to all appenders
Is it possible to set the logging level for each appender to different levels?

Have you read the log4j documentation?

Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

Hi all,
We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
2 - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
Curr-Currency of the Cocd
Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
Only all items- blank
Credit-X
Transfer DL-X
Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
Hope it clarifies.....
Thanks,
Amlan

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

AR-Dunning levels

Hi,
We have a scenario like this:
A customer has two dunning levels. He has been dunned for 1st level with 3 open items. Later on, 5 more items have been posted.
When trying to dun the customer, the system gives 2nd dunning level to fist 3 items and 1st dunning level to 5 additional items.
The user wants to get one dunning letter in which he would like to see both dunning levels.
It means, the system should give the details of 3line items and 5 line items in one dunning form/ letter...
How can I do this......................!?
BR..AJ

this is a business process question
You could look at syn'ing your invoice creation so the 8 line items get picked up together.
If this cant be done, you could create an update program/ process prior to Dunning that either moves all open items to the highest level of the open items, or re-sets the level back to "0" for all open items that have a level.
You need to consider how often you run dunning and the impact of Billing (with due dates) has on this.

Dunning Levels in FICA

Hi Experts,
Need your help and guidance for the following scenario.
We are implementing non-industrial FICA in our project. We have a scenario where open items will be at different Dunning levels.
1. Invoice 1 -- Dunning Level 2
2. Invoice 2 -- Dunning Level 1
Both the levels are assigned to the same Dunning procedure. When the dunning run completes, we need to send an email to the Business partner. The requirement is that if there are open items with multiple dunning levels, the message corresponding only to the highest level should be sent. In this example, the message stored in form associated with Level 2 should be sent.
Can this be achieved through standard configuration ? Please provide the solution.
Thanks,
Sundar

Hi Sundar,
Your requirement can be achieved by configuration.
Go to the following path in SPRO-
IMG->Financial Accounting->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable->Business Transactions->Dunning->Dunning by Dunning Procedure->Configure Dunning Procedure.
After configuring the dunning procedure, when you are creating the individual dunning levels for a particular dunning procedure, there is "History and dunning print out" section , where in you will a "Print All items" check box.
If you set this indicator, all open items that fulfill the same criteria for dunning grouping are printed on a dunning notice.
If this indicator is not set, only those items due to be dunned are printed (the items that have reached the number of days in arrears).
So in your scenario, it will not be set, then only the item which has hit level 2 will go to the customer.
Hope it helps.....
Thanks,
Amlan
