Dunning Procedure Configuration

SAP defines Dunning Procedure in its help

as:

"...activity you enter the settings that control the dunning program by:

- Specifying the

company codes to include in dunning.

You specify these company codes when configuring the dunning program.

-

Setting up the dunning procedure you want to use.

Dunning procedures are company code independent. They determine the

dunning interval, the grace periods for the due date determination, and the number of dunning levels. You can also set the

dunning level at which you want to list all due items from an account in the dunning notice.

- Setting the dunning

charges.

You can either specify a fixed charge or have the system calculate the charge on the basis of a percentage

rate you specify.

- Specifying the net payment due date at which a particular dunning level is reached.
-

Specifying the dunning notice you want to send to your customers.

You have to define one or more forms for the

notice."

Basically there are three steps in this transaction:

1)

Maintain dunning procedure
2) Maintain dunning levels
3) Maintain dunning texts

Three main tips for this

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.
