Maintain same dunning level

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate some help here.
I've maintained 3 dunning levels and "always dun" for the 3 levels are setup.
How can I keep the dunning level at level 1 whenever a dunning is perform? Is it possible to do it? I've try to change the dunning level in the master record but it's not working. The dunning proposal is still taking the latest level (eg. level 3) eventhought I've changed the dunning level to 1 in master record.
I know the dunning level can be edit during Dunning proposal but it will be time consuming to edit the individual item every time a dunning is perform. Anyone has a good suggestion?
Thank you

Thanks for the response.
Can you elaborate more where can I checked?
Does it mean that customer master record can't fixed the dunning level?

Dunning Level Repeated in Dunning Run

Hi,
We need your help in resolving a peculiar issue we are facing relating to Dunning:
The Dunning Activity is picking up Contract Accounts repeatedly at the same Dunning Level.
For example,
the Contract Account CA - 1 contains two open items:
Document Number
Due Date
Dunning Procedure
Document 1
01.06.2014
ZA
Document 2
05.06.2014
ZA
the Dunning Procedure ZA contains 4 Dunning Levels as follows:
Dunning Procedure
Dunning Level
Days in Arrear
ZA
1
10
ZA
2
20
ZA
3
30
ZA
4
40
While analyzing the issue we are facing, we have observed that one of the scenarios when the Contract Account is repeatedly picked at the same dunning level is the following:
if the Contract Account - CA - 1 is picked in the Dunning Activity Run at Dunning Level 3 for the Dunning Procedure ZA on 30.06.2014(when the Document 1 is reaching the days in arrear for Dunning Level 3)
The same Contract Account - CA - 1 is picked in the Dunning Activity Run at same Dunning Level 3 for the Dunning Procedure ZA once again on 05.07.2014(when the Document 2 is reaching the days in arrear for Dunning Level 3)
The scenario mentioned above is not the only scenario when we are facing this issue of Contract Account getting picked at the same dunning level repeatedly.
The Dunning Procedure mentioned in the example has been configured as follows:
The field - Always Dun, has not been checked.
The correct days difference between two Dunning levels has been maintained in the field - Dunning frequency for every Dunning level.
The field - Days in arrears, has been maintained correctly for each of the Dunning Levels
But as per the business requirement and our understanding of the behaviour of standard SAP, the Contract Account - CA - 1 which is picked at the Dunning Level 3 for the Dunning Procedure ZA on 30.06.2014, should be picked in the Dunning Activity Run only when:
the open item in the CA- 1 remains outstanding till the number of days to reach the next Dunning Level, which in this example would be reached when the outstanding item remains open for 40 days (CA - 1 would reach Dunning Level 4)
Further, As per the F1 help mentioned for the field - Dunning frequency:
The second dunning notice at dunning level 3 is prevented if you specify a dunning frequency of 10 days for dunning level 3. In that case, a dunning notice at dunning level 4 will be created ONLY on 10.07.2014, since the days in arrears for dunning level 4 have been reached.
So currently, the system is behaving in a way which is contradicting the details mentioned in F1 help.
Please advise how can we ensure that the CA - 1 is not picked up at the same Dunning Level repeatedly and confirms with the details mentioned in the F1 help.
Thanks and regards,
G. Ajit Kumar

Hi Ajit,
Check the parameter value for the last dunning level against the dunning procedure ZA in the SPRO config.
I think it is currently configured as 2-Dun after end of dunning frequency for all line items.
Ideally it should be 3-Dunning for new overdue items only
You can find this in the following config-
SPRO-->Financial Accounting--->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable-->Business Transactions-->Dunning--->Configure Dunning Procedure
Select the Dunning Procedure and click on display and you will find it under the parameters section.
Hope it helps...
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

Dunning Old dinning level and dunning level

Hi experts,
I have one issue in dunning. the issue is where the dunning history for particular customer shows as old dunning level as 3 and dunning level as 2.
i have checked the customer master there is change in the dunning procdure. But the document and master data shows the correct dunning level with the new procdure.
so i didnt understand what is the OLD dunning level and dunning level for the same cusomer. the issue is only with one customer.
I have also checked with old procdure with same customer in table MHNK. there are some notices done. but how come the current invoice shows the old dunning level for the same invoice.
can any once explain me how to proceed.
Regards
Ashok

Hi
Thnks for the reply so we need to apply this note for making the old dunning level and dunning level makes equal after you run the program.
Also one more doubt, since i have observed that the dunning after the parameters entered. looks like this
Parameters were maintained
Dunning selection executed, job deleted
Dunning notice printed, job deleted.
the above doesnt means that they will update the old dunning level right.
Regards
Ashok

Dunning level printing

hi
i want to print dunning notice1 for dunning level1 and
dunning notice2 for level2,
dunning notice3 for level3.
how to do this?

hi Sivagopal,
step1: goto Transaction F150
step2: <b>click individual dunning notice</b> button
step3: Enter the company code, customer
step4: Enter the dates: the date has to be based on the dunning procedure defined. for example: if the 1st dunning has to be done 30 days after due date (this information you have to get from IMG or functional consultant). Make sure that you choose the right customer (go to transaction FBL5N and execute for all customers and get the customer whose bill is pending for some long time...and check the dunning level, under the column <b>DUN</b>.
so give a date 30 days after the due date shown in FBL5N, for RUN ON and DUNNING DATE fields
step5: for second dunning level, we have to give the date gap (may be 30 days or 15 days as mentioned in dunn procedure).
To get the dunning procedure, follow the path
goto SPRO->press F5->Financial Accounting New->Accounts recievable and Accounts payable->Business transactions->Dunning->define Dunning procedures
and double click the procedure...you get the relevant information.
Finally, you have to check for the corresponding customer, the dunning procedure is maintained.Follow the path to check that
XD03->click button "Company code data"->choose tab "Correspondence".
If the first field "dunn procedure" is not maintained, maintain the same in transaction XD03.
Hope this helps.

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!

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

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??

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 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

New Dunning Level Config.

Hi,
I have had to add two new dunning levels to our ECC5 system, levels 3 and 4.
In SPRO under Financial Accounting > AP and AR > Business Transactions > Dunning > Dunning Procedures > Define Dunning Procedures
I have created the two new dunning levels under the same procedure as levels 1 and 2.
However outstanding bills for level 3 dunning do not appear to be being picked up.
Is there any other config that I have missed?
Thanks
David

Hi
As suggested by Mahesh please check if you have assigned a dunning form to the dunning levels or not and further please notice your dunning date .
If you have created new level and trying to test that by running F150 , then please check the frequency of dunning period from your last dunning run, there must be gaap of that many days between two dunning run , else it will not produce any result.
Cheers
Mukta
